Interesting concept, and great art. I just don't understand why you made aim with mouse, but then attack with space. Just do aim with mouse and attack with LMB, or aim based on movement direction and attack with space. The idea of the control changing when you loose health is original, but it only works if you don't get swarmed by enemies. It wasn't an issue for me, but I can imagine it being a problem for others. The fire rate of the bow is also pathetic. The player has no choice but to only use the sword.

Really cool game I liked the graphics and the concept a lot. The gameplay had a nice feel like you left good room for strategic planning.

Collect O BombThe game ist great. It looks super nice and it feels pretty good. There is only one thing I would rather see changed, that is that if you just spam spacebar, due to the knockback the enemies can't reach you. I would like to see some more tactics in the combat not just button mashing. However this is only minor criticism, great job.

OutOfControl GameJam ProjectThis is a fantastic game with an awesome aestheic and presentation style. The only complaint is that the mouse doesn't always track correctly.

Emotional balanceAmazing! Love the screenshake!
It's so smart that the controls move from left to right with your health.
The game has a goofy energy that really gels with the concept.

Cross Car-NageReally polished and well done game. However gameplay is a bit boring... The stunlock on the sword is simply too powerful.

Cannot AdventureAwesome game! Really love the aesthetics and the keyboard being your health bar. Dragging the killed enemy was a nice touch, but I could easily bypass some enemies in later levels by just dragging the enemy-body through the walls and on the door.
The small error-popup was also a nice touch ^^
