How does your game fit the theme?
Backstabber uses the theme "Loop" with mostly its circular gameplay arena. Also all the enemies and the player itself moves in a loop and the player needs to loop around enemies to strike from behind.

Really good concept, just played a game with kind of the same loop and timing but this one is way more interesting. It's simple but addictive very quickly. The enemy turning on you at the last second can be frustranting, but I can see it part of the gameplay to be careful and not too greedy. The only downside I found is when there is more enemies, sometimes there is no escape and it's game over.
Overall, very good game !
What a fun game. I could see this working really good on mobile
The best part is when you shift through an enemy (with cool effects btw) and quickly shift direction. You can lose though if you get unlucky with the enemies turn though
Really fun and well executed idea
Thank you a lot!
Nice simple and fun concept. Maybe show an indicator if the enemy is about to turn.
Thank you for the feedback!
Cool idea. I would like to see some sort of visual indication to warn me when the square was going to change direction so I could build some strategy.
We will think about it. Thank you for playing the game!
This was very fun to play
Thanks!
It's a fun idea! This game is cruel
Thank you a lot. We will take the cruel part as a compliment as well!
