The mouse movement and spinning in circles to swing the mace is actually really fun! Great job~~ You should keep working on it for sure. So many cool upgrades could work with the spinning attack, awesome job! Check out mine when u have time :D

A fun little game! Even though the movement was a bit difficult, I liked that you only had to use the mouse to move the mace. Maybe add something that makes the player go even further away from the skull.
Very satisfying gameplay mechanic, and impressive coding on the mace physics. Could be interesting to add additional things the mace can interact with (like switch-based puzzles or power-ups that change its attack for a limited time). Nice job :)
Nice execution! A mouse-only, physics-based wave defense seems tricky to pull off, but it was surprisingly intuitive to control.
One thing that was a bit unclear was the mace changing color when the base takes damage: at first, I thought this meant my mace was sometimes vulnerable, and it was only later that I figured out what had happened. (Though that in itself could be an interesting idea.)
Overall smashing the mace through enemies was intuitive and fun.
Cool game, I had to get used to controlling the character a bit, but it's a lot of fun to swing the mace around and smash your foes - nice job!
Cool game, nice use of the physics.
Physics are alwas fun for some weird reason, I found the mace a bit hard to control at first but eventually I got better.
Congrats on finishing the jam on time and submit your game. thanks for sharing
Kudos
Nice game! I think the only weird part was that's not clear enough that you need to protect the thing at the center. But it's a great submission, congrats!
Really interesting physics based concept.
I think it was a bit confusing that the weapon has an offset position relative to the mouse position.. During development, did you try to implement when you click the weapon with the mouse to move the weapon? Like a dragging system. I can well imagine that the controls feel much more powerful, since you can actually swing the weapon.
Despite that, i think this is a good submission. I even finished the game. Great work.
Nice game. Progression felt a little slow so it was a bit difficult to restart after losing on wave 9! A bit of screenshake might help make killing ememies more enjoyable, but otherwise great take on the theme and quite original :)
Very enjoyable, the sounds and animations were simple but on point. Good job given the time limit :).
I think it’d be more challenging if you did not allow the player to leave the main “battleground”. Also, you could prevent players from picking extra health when they don’t need it. I can’t complain about being invincible though, that way I could swing to my heart’s content.
Good take on the theme!
