How does your game represent "Slick"?
Bullet hell games evoke the feeling of slick to me because of the need to be in a constant fluid motion. Barely threading the needle between danger feels slick.

fun, pretty, and satisfying. nice job.
Thanks so much! Thanks for playing
I loved this, very fun and very addicting. But I kept dying and dying :D If I could ask for an update, I’d say add the direction memory, so that when I go down and then release the movement button and press punch the main character would punch down, not left or right. Also I would enjoy a roguelike, like keep a bit of money or a single ability after death. Because starting all over is frustrating. And I’m saying all this because the game is so cool.
I spent an hour in it. You are a bad, bad person. Hope you are happy. /s
looooooool glad I could waste an hour of your time XD
Yeah I'll end up pushing an update that stores your punch direction. I think the game definitely needs that and I would have done it but I just ran out of time. And yeah some kinda meta progression something I'm thinking about for sure.
Thanks for playing! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
The art style is so great, and the gameplay is very slick. Very simple but fun, great game
Thanks so much!
I liked the little sprites on this~
Thank you!
This is my favorite game I've played so far! Very slick & the gameplay was super addicting. I kept restarting just to push the upgrades
Wow thank you so much!!! I'm really glad you liked it. Thanks for playing ^^
When you get a bunch of enemies on the field this game becomes a real fun thing to watch.
Thanks for playing!
i love the designs for the characters, so freakin adorable! its genuinely a fun time to watch all the goblins bounce off the wall like billiards!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it
this is outrageously fun and tense!!! I hate how small my punch is when I die and start over!!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it. Yeah starting over when you die is definitely a source of frustration for a lot of people =/
Yep but that's what made it so great! I've been thinking today about how I want to try again which seems to indicate this is a good game!
Very pretty, good art, definitely one of my favorites from this one! Really excellent mechanics, I like the exponential takeoff from the multiplier
Thank you so much! Thanks for playing!
Cool concept, but the bouncing mechanic is a bit detrimental, most likely a skill issue on my part. Overall quite fun. The only suggestion I have would be to increase the immunity frames after taking damage.
Yep, the bounce mechanic is meant to become dangerous. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing!
omfg I had like 100k and then I got 2 tapped with just 2 heart :( Surprisingly great. It starts off slow and I think that the enemies bouncing around is going to be just a small gimmick but then that turns out to be the whole point and it's great. The progression was paced very well and the logic of the player getting more powerful but also more enemies being around to dodge when they bounce all around was good.
Absolutely love the sprite work, sound design and the combat. The slow release to your attack creates such a fun rhythm. Congrats!
Thanks so much! Thanks for playing.
This game starts off slow, but once you get that first BIG PUNCH upgrade, the game gets so fast. I recommend everyone play this game, its very fun. The graphics work so well, and I love the animation. Good job, this gets a SLICK/10
Thanks so much for the kind words. Thanks for playing! ^^
Fun and minimalistic. It starts slow but quickly builds momentum.
Thanks for playing!
I love the art and sound effects! Very simple and addictive game, great job!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for playing!
Very satisfying to punch them in the face!
Thanks for playing!
Fun game, I love the way the enemies bump into each other when they die, Its too bad that I can't punch diagonally, lol.
Thanks for playing! You can punch diagonally, but if you're using arrow keys and spacebar to punch, some keyboards actually can't input up+left+space so you may want to use a controller or switch to WASD
Oh, I didn't know it had controller support!!!
Thanks for clarifying :)
Finally got around to playing your game, the power creep is so great in this game, the hardest part for me is the initial starting out phase as you have a dinky punch, it's super hard to get good combos going until you have a big enough punch and a big enough goblin pool to knock around. I loved the audio design of the incrementally higher tones per mult addition. Great work, thanks for submitting this game!
Yeah the start is rough, but I wanted you to feel weak at first so you feel even stronger later by contrast. I think it does a pretty good job at that but a lot of people struggle to get over that initial hurdle.
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for playing!
o I like dis. If I didn't lose all my upgrades when I died, I'd probably play for a slickillion years!
Haha thanks for playing! Yeah starting over from 0 is a little rough it seems
