I really like this game. The game play mechanics are smooth and intuitive, and the game is challenging! Great game!

I like the sprites of the projectiles as they made it really easy to know which ones they were and they have a "feeling of power/speed" to them which is a great way to convey information without saying anything. I also like how the color of the enemy's shirt changed to represent their health which made it so that the UI is not cluttered with health bars and I could see better.


One thing I recommend is adding an indicator to the player health to let you know when it is broken as well as adding one to the player's projectiles to tell them apart from the enemy's. A simple "ring" or some other FX should do the trick.

thanks for the review. Great suggestion. Should've thought of that :)

This was a lot of fun to play - quite a challenge! The ability to change the settings yourself was really cool! :) nice work!

Nice game :) 
Like the idea, that the settings are broken and that it is possible to customize them.
Had only some trouble to navigate in the arena.

Developer

Thanks for the review. What do you mean by navigating? Was it too dark or was there another problem?

Good work! The UI and gameplay felt good, and it was a unique concept too! The walls blended in a bit too much with the floor, and the healing projectiles were a little confusing at first, but making them hearts helped in understanding them. Loved the custom settings menu too. Nice game!

Good game. It is very nice you made it custom, so it's possible to explore different settings!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it

I had a bit of a tough time with the dark arena, maybe I need to tweak my monitor. Aside from that it was a ton of fun! I especially enjoyed playing "custom" after I had tried the other types. I rained revenge upon the opponents that had beat me down, very satisfying.

I'm glad you liked it! The arena is definitely a bit dark. It was my first time exploring with 2D Lighting in Unity :) It was quite a lot of fun, but definitely not easy. If i  had more time i probably would have added  a settings menu where you'd be able to adjust the brightness.

Nice! This is very impressive for being made in four days. The music, sound effects, and colors are all really engaging. For constructive criticism, I think your game would really benefit from more "game feel" elements, like screen shake. Overall, great job!

Developer

I agree. A screenshake and other such elements would benefit my game greatly. Thanks for the review :)
