Loved the artstyle! I think this is a pretty clever way to use the theme, and the sword battle with the bugs caught me by surprise

Story was good and I loved the art style

I do like the fact that it's a little bit like vampire survivors without the bullet hell. The bugs seem to be easy to kite though. Maybe some more variety in how the bugs attack would be nice if you iterate some more on it.

Its a nice little game and not without a story too. Combat feels unresponsive maybe some screenshakes and flashing sprites when hit other than that good job overall! :)

Thank you! The game was made in Godot, so it primarily uses the Theme resource to mimic the look of a website

Art is really nice for 3 days, sound design is pretty decent, theme integration is well executed, the combat is alright for 3 days, I got fun playing this!

Really unique art style and game presentation. There's a fun story baked into this too. Similar to the other player, I was a bit confused by the website but once I got to the point where I kill the bugs, it made sense. I wish the combat had a bit more feel to it, but I think this was great work for just 72 hours!

The intro looked great and loved the art and the setup. I couldn't work out what I was meant to do on the website while it was counting down? Enjoyed killing the bugs

Thank you! Our artists did a really good job!

About the website, that's my bad, sorry. I should've probably explained it more in the game. Basically the website part is like a spot the difference thing, except based off of your memory of the initial state of the website.
