First try : game area was big, slowed by I don't why, nothing happen... only Z... I was thinking about writing a comment, and then monster finally start to pop.

I loose, restart the page and get a much better experience (game area normal, run great, etc... more monster :D).

Pretty hard to control, but funny :)

Somehow hard to understand at the first moment, but interesting.

No music or sounds at all, for a Jam entry that seems to be far too lacking for me. The game was also far too difficult, far too many souls to kill with far too little health, and the enemy attacks were far to hard to avoid. Still, you got a game up and running, keep improving and I'm sure you'll do better next time.

Controls are really tough. I suggest it's better to polish controls first in an action game, because awkward controls make almost any game, even the best ones, kind of worse then they actually are :)

Had the same problem as Yacodo, upon restarting it ran much much better!

Destroying all the houses and trees is a bit much, maybe wiping out 80% would have been better? It sucks when you near the end and there are single ones left peppered around the map.

Overall, fun and interesting to master those controls. Like the art! :)
