Great Job! I like the abilities. They are not a typical QTE, but I think they qualify as one. The fighting was a lot of fun, sometimes a bit finnicky about the weapon rotation, but the problem was probably a skill issue. 

I liked the game, had to make some extra room for the mouse movements. The combat added onto your game is great fun. Well done!

An unexpected game! I missed your round 1 entry so this felt quite fleshed out which was cool to see. Reminds me of a 2D version of "We Who Are About To Die"! Well done and curious to see where you take this :)

It's good to see you expand on your round 1 game and I like that it's not just a 1 on 1 fight as I initially thought it might be so that's good to see. The game has a lot of depth and swinging the sword around is pretty cool. I like that there are boxes in the arena and I think having a smaller arena could make the action more intense. I have a fun thought, it could be cool if you could kick someone outside the arena to kill them and maybe they sink in water or drop off a cliff

really cool concept, the game can be developed further if you take an approach like Exanima

This is coming along nicely! I struggled to right the rclick weapon well, there was info that was really hard to read because it jittered all over the place so I’m not sure exactly what it said. Combat was still fun, but I think making a less noisy floor pattern would be nice. Not sure how to spare the enemy, I accidentally killed them all (but it was fun seeing the game live up to it’s name).

great game! I love arena games! fits well with the combat system! just what I expected the game to be! Great job, i killed lots of people

I got to say really struggled at first with the mouse only controls but the movement was a lot easier once i saw you mentioned about a WASD key option to someone in the comments. Not understanding the spinning weapon part mostly I mainly defeated enemies with the right button then left button shield strikes but i started to get the hang of the spinning weapon stuff as well towards the end. I made it to about Level 7 i think before coming to write this comment.

This was quite a nice fantasy world experience you have created so i can tell a lot of work got put into the game it was quite a nostalgic experience. The shop keepers, detailed inventory etc. reminded me of the RPG games of old.

Thanks!

Such a good experience!

I felt like a beyblade swining my sword around!

Well done :D

I loved this game even before it had arena!

Very addictive, but it puts a lot of strain on my hand. Blew everything off the table. ⚔

I'll keep following the game. Great job!

You put real efforts here I gotta say. I just had issues with the controls honestly, I think those need more definition.

Other than that, really great man. I can see how many hours and struggles you went through making and fixing every bits of it.

This is another one of the games I think need released eventually from this jam.  Something about swinging an ax at roughly 400 kilometers per hour is just awesome. Very much reminded me of old flash games in a REALLY good way.  I liked the QTE's and how they were used to spare enemies. At first I was like, "these seem way too easy," then I got jumped while trying to spare one of my enemies and accidentally sent him straight to the judge in the sky. Excellent game, well done!

Another fantastic continuation from round 1, I made it to level 10 I think before I quit just so I have time to rate other games! I felt the controls were greatly improved. I'm not completely sold on the QTE mechanics actually adding to the overall experience, but it did meet the task. I'd be interested to hear about how you adaptated multifunctional level design as its seems such an abstract concept I find it hard to judge. Really great submission again!

This was exactly what I hoped it would be. Fighting the enemies felt great, seeing arms and legs fly off felt great, having a small economy to keep things going felt great. The only issue I had was that WebGL kept "losing context".  I have a video of it happening if you want to see it, just DM me in discord (should be same username). The solution I found was to go to chrome flags and enable webgl in both developer settings and extensions.

The only other things that felt like they needed more clarity was the companions, and the cost of damage taken. Both of these clarified themselves after trail and error, but my first reaction to winning a match was "why am I negative 5 gold?". In a similar way, when I bought my first companion, the green name wasn't enough to tell me "I'm friendly, don't kill me." so I immediately slaughtered them. Again, seeing the negative 300 gold told me what I did wrong, but with so much UI and stuff to read, those things didn't fully click until midway through my play session. Maybe a pop-up at the end of match one, and the start of the match after a companion purchase? Maybe it's just me though.

That being said, my play session was a half hour. This game is super fun, and addicting. I had to try all the different weapons, and made sure I was the undisputed champion. I can't wait to see what you have in store for it down the road. Great job!

these pretty unique controls kept the gameplay present. i like what you're building here :)

I liked how subtle the quick time events were. The controls are really funny and unique, gives the game a lot of character

Fighting is innovative, good job implementing so many ways to change your loadout. It was fun to spin around and fight enemies, a little difficult but not in a bad way, the matches were certainly winnable and everything.

After winning round 6 it seemed to bug out and did not return to the hub.
Buying more companions did not spawn more during fights, maybe they are not suppose to.
After winning round 3 i randomly got in a -325 debt, no idea why.

Did have fun swinging my big battle axe around and demolize the enemies, must have be a nightmare programming their AI? 

Would like a bit more control over the character, so i can actively walk while swinging my weapons. That would feel a lot better, maybe you can already i just did not figure out how.

Liked the simple music and sounds it offered, weapon sounds could use some more "UMFF" would be loud when hacking away at armor or flesh, but i get it, not much time for these sort of things.  

Did not find anything i consider QTE.
