Really beautiful art there! I liked a lot the character improvement and the feedback of item appearing + strategy to pick it or attack, could use some polish but good job on the game!

Nice and simple! Great use of the theme as well. You did a good job of putting the assets together into a coherent game. Really Great Work!

It would mean a lot if you could check out my game for the Jam and leave feedback if you get the chance. Thanks!

cool game, good music in the background. things that could be improved:

the enemy looks like a mantis - it's not cool for a powerful skeleton to fight with a mantis),

 also some remains from enemies or an explosion when killing would be useful (especially if you could interact with them)


p.s

check my game too)

Good game, well done. The art and animations felt super solid and fluid, well done. Super simple and fun game. My only nitpick I would have to say would be when you attack it would be nice if when you clicked behind your guy he would turn around and attack in the direction you clicked in. other than that solid game.

Hi, I reviewed your game here -

I enjoyed this a lot. I’m a music person, so that’s what I notice immediately and it was quite nice. I also thought the mechanics were simple enough, but the challenge was the right amount to keep it from being boring. solid, solid game.

The game is a good one. It’s laid-back and the difficulty curve isn’t too steep. The gameplay was relaxing and has a feeling of satisfaction in it. Especially the sounds and music, they blend together well!

Overall, this is a pretty decent and outstanding game.

Starts off and you think  well how can this get hard?! Then around the 3 minute mark I'm yelling at my skeleton to run faster to the other side! Fun game to chill and just play for a few minutes with good music choice to back it up.

Super cool game! I managed to survive for 5 minutes. Everything about this game is pretty much good! I like how random pickups give you upgrades, and I like how everything looks. I wish there was more content in this since it's super relaxing to play. Other than that, nothing much to say! If you have the time, I'd also appreciate it if you gave my game a try!

I really liked the art and animations for this! The music was very relaxing, but fit well with the game. There was a good sense of atmosphere throughout and I enjoyed it a lot.  Great job!

Loved the art and music on this one!

Found it weirdly relaxing to run over and smash things with the giant axe

Developer

I definitely just smashed bugs myself instead of making progress more than I'd like to admit. Thanks for playing!

Super fun. What a horrible place to set up camp.

Really enjoyed your game, the art is cute and the music goes really well with it.  I also liked how there is a delay to when the axe kills the enemy, makes it a lot more interesting than just right click, left click, repeat.  Great work!

Developer

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind words

Lots of fun! I really liked the cool pixelated animations, especially the way the axe sways. Music was super chill and helped the atmosphere a lot. It made it feel real good just to collect power ups and eventually made we want to sleep by the campfire myself.


Developer

I appreciate all the feedback and it was cool to see you play it out. One thing I went a bit safe on was the effects of the pickups, so the first ones aren't too noticeable. I could probably make each one more impactful. Thanks for playing! :)
