Pretty cool game! I really enjoyed getting carpal tunnel syndrome!! Jokes aside, the game was very engaging and I liked the different enemy types. It felt rather difficult at some later points, but thats just what difficulty is. Overall, the sound effects were very satisfying, it was very fun, and I enjoyed it. I feel it could have done a bit better in the visual department (like post-processing, not the art style, I really liked the art style) and interpreting the theme, but other than that felt very responsive and overall great!

ShapeshifterFun game, beat it after a few tries! It felt like a fusion of clicker and tower defense games, which made for some fresh and engaging gameplay, the graphics are cute, and the sound effects and music fit really well. Great all around! One thing I noticed is that it was essential to choose the damage upgrade almost every time. Increasing the king's max health by 20 seemed particularly inefficient when you could instead heal him by 50 when needed. If that option healed by 50% instead, and/or there was a small amount of free healing after each round, that would help to balance out the options. Overall it was fun and original, and an expanded release with more upgrades and monsters sounds awesome!

Sitting DucksThank you for trying it out! Originally, I wanted to have randomized effects that can be chosen instead of just the default, damage and hps for example, I was planning to add "add ice effects", "add fire effects", or "add lightning effects" but I realized I didn't have time. I will definitely work on the game more and add those things though! I will definitely keep your feedback in mind as well!
Super cute game! I loved the art style, the game felt handmade and had a lot of personality. I'm impressed to hear that you made the game by yourself!! Great job! It felt like I was a knight going on an adventure with the king. My only critique is that the monsters are a little hard to hit with the cursor, especially when they're moving. Speaking of, I loved the little sword cursor, it reminded me of computer games from the 2000's c: Overall, great work!!

Rock Paper Society!Pretty nice concept and implementing!
I'm not a fan of hard-clicking, maybe some stable DPS and/or cooldown between attacks would be better. Though current system may be more valuable on mobile

Dungeon of GesturesWow my hand hurts from all that clicking (and I mean that as a compliment, it kept me engaged!) Beat it on the second try so I think the difficulty's just about spot-on! though the enemies are so spongey at the start that picking sword-upgrade every time feels like it should be like the default option, like maybe a bigger button than the others. The animations have a great hand-drawn feel, making each kill very satisfying, and the shading is really impressive, too!

KICK ORBThank you so much! Initially I wanted to add more options to upgrade and make it more like a proper roguelike but I didn't have time so I opted for just 3 of those options! I'm planning to improve this game further so more upgrades and enemies to come in the future! I will definitely keep your feedback in mind as well!
