Thanks for playing! I appreciate the feedback. I definitely should've put it somewhere but you can also use K and J to attack. Didn't think about touchpad users, will keep this in mind for future jams!

Agreed on the icons. Will update them in the future. Thanks for playing!

Hey, thanks for playing! I appreciate you taking the time to learn the combat and movement. Given mixed reviews on difficulty, I think in the future, I will prioritize adding a setting for difficulty to cover a wider range of players from casual to hardcore.

Looking forward to beating your game!

------------------ ‼️Note‼️ ------------------

It seems that some people are struggling with the combat. The game is tough! I assumed this would happen since I have a lot more hours on the game than someone just trying it out for the first time. If you're having trouble I'd recommend watching the gameplay video, it should help to give some pointers on how to approach enemies and keep them from damaging you. Spacing is key!  With the right build, you can get pretty far.

Thanks in advance for playing my game and good luck if yours is also part of the jam! Let me know if you are able to get past round 6, I'll be impressed!

------------------ End Note ------------------

True, the combat is hard. Watching the gameplay video might help a bit. There's a certain style you have to adopt in order to keep the enemies stunned to avoid damage. It's a lot about keeping the right distance between you and the enemy. Agree about the free aim for the ranged attack though. I plan to change it so that you aim with your mouse instead. For now I'd just primarily use the melee :)

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked the art style!

Thanks for the follow up, will definitely look into development  on this!

Yes, the combat is definitely challenging. You have to make sure to keep your distance or you'll get swarmed quickly. Using the slide mechanic can be useful for that. In the future I plan to add some combos (as well as modifying the ranged attack) which should help with the fluidity.

Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing! Did you try using the regular melee attack? That one is a lot more responsive. It's just the ranged attack that takes  a bit to wind up.

I wish I hadn't read the comments before, that jumpscare definitely would've got me lol. Good concept and I love that you added a tutorial, it is very undervalued in many games. If I had more time I definitely would've liked to add one for my game too.

Not bad! I was having trouble at first because I couldn't see ahead but then I realized I could extend the window hehe. Good job!

Fun game! It would be cool if Death also got slowed down by the puddles so you could try to force him into them. Also the death sound once you reach 0 is hilarious lol, good job!

The game is simple yet fun! The sounds are really fitting too.

You can hold down the mouse and drag to pick up coins too

This is a cool concept. It reminds me of an anime called The Misfit of Demon King Academy. The hero keeps reincarnating to fight the same dude. I always like roguelikes and this has a roguelikey feel to it as well. Good job!

Yo the movement in this is awesome. The animations line up super well with your actions as well. I like how the crown stays in the air for a little when you're falling.

I love the writing, sound, and art. Overall great job! I'm curious about how it was like to develop for Pico-8. It might be something I'll try in the future.

Kind of like Pac-Man but with the limited lifetime theme, not bad!

I like the wall jumping mechanic. The levels are definitely difficult but that's half of the fun. Good luck on development post jam!

I like the artstyle

The game was super creative and fun, my favorite part was the chat. Good work!

The game is simple but taking out the crooks felt satisfying and there was a lot of walking lol

The cutscenes and art direction in this game are awesome.

The lighting is pretty good. What engine did you use?

Did not expect the customers to drop dead on the spot lmao. At first I tried to feed them to the furnace... the garbage bin makes more sense though lol

I liked the art and moving UI!

Thanks for the update on this. I played the game and it was great! I like that the objective wasn't always just to deal the most damage. I already mentioned it, but the art is defintely my favorite part of it (the camera movement is excellent too). I also liked managing the exhaust time & energy use. Can see how the two resources leads to new card ideas as well. Given the jam time it's pretty polished--once you are able to add some more sound effects and visual cues it will be even better.

I didn't manage to beat it yet but when I get some time later today I'll come back to it and give more feedback if it comes up.

Will do 🫡

Thanks for playing! I'll keep you posted on that video :)

I enjoyed trying to make the right decisions to keep the crusade going. It also helped that when I hovered over the options it told me how it would affect my rations/morale. I knew I shouldn't have helped that church...

I enjoyed just walking out of the house lol

Challenging game but pretty fun, my favorite part was the passing

I really really want to play this bc of how cool the screenshots look and I like card games but my computer won't even let me download it because of virus protection. Hasn't happened with other games.

I will come back to this game towards the end of the rating period for sure though

I really like how the camera moves. I want to make a movement based game now

Yep it was during the mobile game era lol. I hope you get more ratings this is game is very fun

I loved maxing out speed and spawn rate and seeing the skeleton swarm. The game also got a lot more fun after I realized I have to make a few donations to the blood tree first lol

I like the sound and artstyle. The game is similar to plants vs zombies but your defenses die over time. I'm ngl I was spam clicking one of the crystals next to the arcade expecting it to drop iron lol

Reminded me of the game stupid zombies on mobile I used to play when I was little but this is better.

The super jump with the 100lb is very fun. Also I like the lighting. Fun game!

Very cool spin on snake. I like that besides dodging my tail I have to dodge other obstacles to get to the food

I like rogue-likes so I like this

The footstep sound when walking/landing on the crystals is very satisfying
