A very solid top down, almost survivor-like game. Conceptually, the game is great and fits well with the theme. I like the risk/reward of standing still to charge the weapon, although in earlier stages there’s very little risk to running a fair way ahead of enemies and charging an attack through them. That being said, there’s definitely ways to build on this concept.
Timing the cane attack is quite hard to start off with as the cane spins so fast. I felt like half of my attempted charges turned into dashes the other way. While charging, it might be worth having the cane continue to spin at a slower rate, so that there’s time to correct the path that the attack travels in. This is combined with the fact that there’s a couple seconds between charging the next attack, which does give time to get away from the enemies but feels almost like a punishment for missing the spin, even though it feels like I’ve timed it right.
I love the concept of the food chain though, it’s really cool, and the animations for the enemies are very neat as well. Overall, a solid game.
