Great game! I'll definitely try it with friends once they can come over.  I played alone, so it was a bit hard, but I was able to beat the first wave of enemies~

Great job on the art. 

I wasn't really able to work out how to avoid being able to attack enemies without getting hurt myself. So i couldn't really get that far in the game. Unsure if i was doing something wrong or if the hitboxes were really small.

If you get a chance, i would add a fairly wide and generous visual element for the attack. 

his game is gorgeous!  Such a cool use of the art kit, and the lighting and shadows were stunning.  Amazing start to a game, but as others have mentioned, it just needs fleshing out.  Music/SFX, screen shake, hit indication, etc. all could make the rest of the game match up with the beautiful visuals.  If you keep developing this, I'd be really interested to see the finished product!  Great job!

Loved the visual aspects of the game, the pixelated shadow and the player's movement!

I think the gameplay can be improved, Adding  feedback when hitting or getting hit can add a lot, also when you had too many enemies at once was very hard to win them all, so you had to be very careful to attack them one by one.

holy smokes this is awesome looking as hell! you used the art asset in the best way possible!

Really cool use of the art pack, I loved the lighting! Some feedback when you're hitting/being hit would do great for this game.

Hoi cool lightning usage^^

You got cool design there. Haven't seen much 2.5D sidescrollers in the jam so props to you.

Peeps said it already but reaction to action really helps in these kind of games.
or example when you attack an ennemy you can simply make him flash red for half a second to show the hit has been made.

You just have to polish your game a bit more and dadd some SFX and it will double in value^^

Good work!

Wish I could have played this multiplayer! I love the aesthetic, really well done with the theme, lighting and shadows against the back wall - that was a great effect.

I don't have much more to add that hasn't already been mentioned below. I also found it difficult to determine if my hits were landing and if/when I was being hit. I found myself doing "drive-by" attacks to try not to die. If combat were polished up this would have been an excellent game. Well done!

Edit: Also, the "1 minute, 15 seconds before the deadline" is AMAZING. I can tell you guys worked hard on this right til literally the last few minutes haha

Great job on the look of the game! Although hit feedback is a bit lacking, effects like hit flash, frame pause and screen shake could really juice up the game and make it clearly know you or an enemy was hit. The attack animations also felt sluggish, the light attack should be way quicker than the heavy to justify the long wait time compared to damage.

Such a beautiful and good looking game! wow! The style,the mood,the animations, were really great!  Awesome job there! incredible use of the assets! If you could polish the combat more,with particles effects etc, and the general feeling of it, this could turn out into a viable product! Good job! and best of luck :D
