I like the sword increasing in size, it's hard to survive the camera flip

Love the art and the random events. This game is absolutely brutal- I tried my best to survive/find a strategy that works, but to no avail. Wondering if there's a safe way to circle the mass and attack without getting blasted 😂
Likin the music and colors on the sprites too 👍

Okay that camera flip is just rude. This is a very cool idea for a game, but in practice it's very disorienting.

Thank you everyone who has been playing the game and giving us feedback we very much appreciate it. yea the camera shift if fairly brutal maybe removing it would be beneficial. thanks again for the feedback.

Wow this was difficult! I like the variety in random events, it adds a lot of fun challenge, but I think there might already be a bit too much challenge to begin with. I love the artwork. The trees are cool, and the main character is a fun design. I recorded myself playing the game if you want some more feedback:

Great job, I love the art here from the main character, to the slimes, to the gorgeous trees and background. It was for sure a challenging game with all the enemies and projectiles and then stuff like the camera flip or the random teleport made it super hard to survive. But really great job completing this in so little time!

I'll echo what others have said, it's pretty difficult! Love the random events every 10 seconds though, it's super cool!

That was great. Love the autumn theme and art - gets me in the mood for the season. It's very fast paced. Avoiding the projectiles while trying to hit the enemies was fun. At one point I got a x2 sword and that was really cool - I enjoyed getting those upgrades.

Fun thing. I'd like to see that sward direction is moving along with cursor.

this game is super hard but really fun! at first i died just after being teleported and thought "ok so every 10 sec you get random tp" but oh! i was wrong haha i was very surprised when playing more and more, but my strategy is only to dodge and i got about 50 points each run
