Polished art and nice music\/sfx too.\r\rI like how landing on hordes of them from above works more efficiently than dashing into them from the side. That's pretty fun.\r\rI was hoping for win or lose conditions, but finally figured out I had infinite life.

It suited the theme perfectly and the art style was really nice. The music was really good and helped set an excellent mood (along with the lighting) I think this game was nice overall but could really do with some improvements in gameplay but that's just my opinion, besides good job all the same."},{"author_name":"Avalanche Games","author_uid":"54749","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 2:54pm","epoch":1440600540,"text":"@Joror, Damn 1000 souls?
