The gameplay itself is simple but well executed. Attacking the enemies sounds and feels good, a thing that's rare to see in these jam games.

(it's unbelievably good) The core mechanics are solid, although there was a lot to take in at first so it was hard to figure out what was going on in the beginning. I could see ramping up the elements of the game as you go, giving you less options in the beginning and keeping you from getting confused\/overwhelmed as you're learning the ropes. Very impressive!"},{"author_name":"SoulGame","author_uid":"42398","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 10:54am","epoch":1418208540,"text":"Impressive work. Arts, audio animations are top notch for a ludum dare.

It has great graphics, soundfx and music. The only thing that I found (a tiny bit) irritating was the font. With some letters it has an unnatural spacing which makes it a bit harder to read.
