Really cool game. Couldn't beat the second round but an incredible game for the short amount of time.

The theming was great! Sound, music, and aesthetics are very appealing; crazy how you four got this out within 10 days. I mechanics are great, but the difficulty is brutal, lol. I was able to get through three stages/boss fights; but, the difficulty made it a bit more frustrating than fun. Definitely, a game that may be fleshed out to publish.

Ghostly ResurrectionThe music is so cool ,10/10
Art is so good too I like the moving cloud outside
Mechanics is a little bit annoying when you attack because you cant move until the attack finish
and some attacks you can't dodge it with jumping because the collider of the attack is so big
Thanks For the game it is very cool
This is an amazing game that is very well made. Good job on it. The graphics are amazing the sound and music are spectacular. This is very polished. It feels like a game I would get on steam.

Fate of a Dying StarIt's an amazing game in all aspects. I LOVE being the villain, I LOVE the way the forth wall is broken, the set of powers you have as the vampire is really cool (even though I could not understand what the drainblood does haha), the pixel art is amazing and all the details really make the game polished and beautiful. Simply amazing!

PhoenixReally fun! I had to give up on the 2nd round with the mage. I'm not great at bullet hell type games tho. It looks great! Reminds me of some of the old megaman games boss battles, which is a good thing. And I really like your take on the theme. Minor thing the default keyboard keys are a little awkward, I changed it to use the more common QER for stuff beside WASD. But it's really nice that you let us set keybinds so that I could do that. Lovelove the art style

Truck-kun Saves the WorldsHi! Thank you so much for the comment!
If you'd like to finish the entire experience, we have accessibility options available in the main menu options :D
Regarding the controls, I had tried both 1, 2, and 3, and Q, E, R, but playtesting friends told me z, x, c was better when playing with arrow keys haha. I took their feedback. I'll make sure to drain their blood and hide their bodies :D
Awesome game! Story, music, sounds, aesthetics, everything is well done

Corpse JuiceVery fun game!
Clean pixelart, animations and UI. Nice music and sfx.
Very creative use of the theme in the story.
The flying mage was very annoying so I gave up at that point, but I will try the game again later.
Some improvement suggestions:
- I had to force the game to run in Window mode because the UI wouldn't fit properly on my ultrawide monitor.
- Sometimes the dash key would not work. I'm not sure if it has some sort of cooldown, but it was not reflected in the UI.
- Attacking felt a bit unresponsive, but probably because I was button mashing. XD
Great game!

Dont Miss the Midnight BusBig well done from me! Your game is seriously awesome, and the fact it was made in 10 days makes it even more impressive! I found it challenging at first but still thought it was a lot of fun :D Great job!

Duel of DeathWell this was a tough one!
Absolutely loved the aesthetic, you have a very talented pixel artist! The music was also great.
The controls and combat animations speed were where this was a tough one for me.
Overall very cool vibe.
Please check out our game if you get a chance! :)

What Comes After - gamejam.tv 2022I've just finished the game and I gotta say, I'm speechless. This game is by far my favorite out of the jam, from the combat to pretty much everything. Absolutely amazing :D

Undying MageGreat story premise, nice art/sound combo. The teams worked well together on this.
Found it a little tough for me, especialy at first.
Having NO idea what the controls were when it started, I figured out how to move, but everything I couldnt do anything else. Wasn;t until I check out key bindings, that I discovered attack, dash and bat form.
Got a little tough for me come Hat boy. Perhaps others are better suited at this then me :P, but i'd recomend starting even easier (especialy in Jam games) and ramping up difficulty steadily.
Well done to the whole team on this! Great work!

Dead End JobHow is this game so fully realized in just ten days? Incredible achievement. Challenging boss battles, well done art, excellent soundtrack, and top tier waifu.

Maggot's LifeWow!
WowwowowoOW!
this was something else.
not an interesting idea for a game.
not a prototype for the next big title.
it was an entire and wonderful game, start-to-finish.
i am really taken aback and want to applaud you for what you did here.
there's a ton to love: the brilliant "plot-twist" setup. the excellent writing.
the great music. the challenging but super precise fighting.
the accessibility option to help me against that darn wizard!
the super smart use of repetition and story progression.
but above all else: the experience of playing a whole game.
I just played one of my favourite games this year.
And I don't mind for a second that it was only 20 minutes long.
ok, enough sweet words.
gotta find out what else you're doing;-)
