Great job, the gameplay was surprisingly satisfying, I loved performing the different attacks to defeat each enemy. I think if you wanted to expand on the concept it would be good if the levels had different environments, as it wasn't obvious when the level increased.
That's a great idea, I could even add special effects with each level, like fog that obscures the enemies until they get closer, or random lightning that you have to counter...you've got my creative juices flowing :D
I loved to see you play the game, thanks a lot!
really neat concept! it was interesting playing a "survivor" style game and not moving! music and effects were nice. difficulty pacing I think is the one drawback but really incredible work for a jam, balancing is always a nightmare for me 😂
Yeah, I ended up making it too easy for fear of making it too hard...nice to know I'm not alone in my balancing struggles! :D
Also, I hadn't thought about it like a static "Survivor" game, but now that's given a million ideas of things I could've done, like powerups after beating X enemies an such...now I hope I had shared the game before the end of the jam!
Thanks a lot for the comment!
The range of attack options here is really good for just 2 buttons. It felt super good to master how to counter each enemy, and it really kept me on my toes when different types of enemies were spawning together. The pile of bodies, makes you feel pretty skilled too. I felt like the difficulty could have ramped up a bit faster, possibly by making enemies attack faster, reducing your window, but I had a lot of fun with this one, and the music was absolutely on point. Great game!
I always have problems adjusting the difficulty, when I try to make the game a bit challenging it ends up being too hard for the players...but it seems that this time I overcorrected :)
Thanks a lot for the comment, I'm very happy that you enjoyed the game!
I’m trying to beat it, but sometimes that big guy is just too hard to kill. Just when I think I’m through, I die again. It’s like an endless loop of respawning and dying. Haha!
Haha there's no end, the game will just get harder until you die :)
Thanks for playing the game!
