Fantastic entry, best one I've played so far. Movement is great, upgrades get the endorphins going. Really brilliant core loop.\n\nRE - the movement, what you said in the chat is what I meant. You change direction but you continue in the original direction for a split second. Would feel sort of like a \"drift\" if you get what I mean.\n\nIf you want playtesters for further builds, I am 100% here for it :D","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":807014,"author_name":"HaaYaargh","author_uid":"haayaargh","epoch":1649288983,"text":"I played your game on the stream with almost a success at the end. Managed almost to get to the end of the world with a defensive build. The inspiration from Vampire Survivors is clear but it was a good shoot and the genre (can we already can it genre?) and I had a lot of fun because of the setting and the tempo. There are definitely more than one build to try, so it encourages trying again, enough times for a jam game. Playing Witch's End you need to pay attention because it is not so hard to die, which happened to me when I was a bit distracted.\n\nWe discussed a bit about what I like and dislike and future plans, so I will just mention that movement was something I had to get use to, especially when both movement and \"attacks\" are on the same button.\n\nBut overall, a great game :book: \n\nPS: My favourite witch waifu was a blonde :)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":808432,"author_name":"PoshDan","author_uid":"poshdan","epoch":1649308950,"text":"I see the potential here.
