Feels like a mix between Hotline Miami and I Made A Game With Zombies In It! I like the ending :D \n\nThe weapons feel good. Different effects would have been cool as you mention. The teleporting guys are cheap!\n\nI think there might be a bug where the total souls collected doesn't reset after you restart? I died twice then won in 2 waves.\n\nGreat job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"someone","author_uid":"1000355","time":"2019-05-05T00:21:10Z","epoch":1557015670,"modified":1557015670,"text":"That was quite entertaining. I like all the different attacks you can use.  \nGreat work on the intro too, and the ending made me laugh.  \nMultiple enemies tend to end up on the same spot quite often making them very easy to beat. It seemed odd getting several souls for what appeared to be one kill.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"stev0o","author_uid":"1138540","time":"2019-05-05T01:02:23Z","epoch":1557018143,"modified":1557018143,"text":"The opening was so good!

I loved how it felt to use the fire, but I didn't enjoy the other weapons as much. This is likely because there is a lack of feedback when you hit an enemy; no sound or visual effect to indicate that you hit something. For fire, it makes sense that it wouldn't actually hit them as much is it would pass through and burn them, and the screen shake made it feel even better, but for the other weapons it just didn't seem like I was really doing much. It also didn't seem like there was much of a difference between the different enemies. Despite those issues, it still felt great to shoot through hordes of them and watch the soul counter go up. It wasn't the most innovative of games, and it didn't really fit the theme, and even if you implemented the selling-souls-for-currency feature you mentioned in the description it would still be relatively weak. I enjoyed the graphics (especially in the opening cutscene), and I loved the music and sound effects as well. The opening cutscene was charming, the ending was funny, and the gameplay created a sense of hectic charm. Overall, well done! A solid 4 stars from me!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"MiltonNH25","author_uid":"1010147","time":"2019-05-05T02:45:39Z","epoch":1557024339,"modified":1557024339,"text":"Good job on the game. I really liked the opening sequence and it fit well with the theme. All of the different spells were cool to use, but it felt like the scythe was stronger than all the other options. It would be nice if there was more feedback when you hit enemies. Also it is possible to walk outside the room. Overall very nice game.
