I liked this game! The combat was really fun. At first I was kinda bugged that I couldnt move while attacking but that didnt really last long. Great game! Amazing job!

I liked it, though admitidly I wasn't able to get past the second level, but still I can see it is well made and I can only imagine how much work must have been put into it. Great Job!

Fun game! It was pretty tricky for me [especially on the second level] but that's likely a skill issue on my end. Very impressive given the time limit!

Hyped to hear you enjoyed it! I definitely intended for it to be on the harder side, but I didn’t have quite enough time to tune it as much as I’d like. The attack hitboxes could be clearer, the player character could do with being a little more effective in bigger fights, levels could definitely be shorter/there could be more of them, and units have a tendency to freeze up. The demo level definitely feels like something I should put closer to the end of a finished game.

I was still really impressed with your demo playthrough, though! But I do want to apologize if I ended up landing the difficulty more on the “frustrating” side. I’d love to hear any input you have on that.

Really cool game, you guys picked an ambitious format and managed to pull it off very well! Combat felt satisfying and the Gallow seed mechanic was interesting. Good work!
