The artwork is very cute, and the quest\/upgrade part really makes the game feel fun. I'm also pretty bad at the game or it's pretty challenging - which I think is a good thing!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":904792,"author_name":"GunDestiny","author_uid":"gundestiny","epoch":1673329947,"text":"Really enjoyed my time with this one! \nThe pace of the game feels good, and the punishment of losing half of your stock if you die feels fair and not too punishing. \nAn issue however is the constant cursor on the screen that indicates where you'll dash to; it kept disorientating me when I got it and my own cursor mixed up sometimes. I do like that it turns red to show that your dash is on cooldown though. Hitboxes were also a bit hard to gauge with some enemies (especially the hard hitting zombies). A bit more of an indicator when you take damage (either sound or visual) would of been good, as I found it harder to tell when I've taken damage especially once the vampire's skeletons were thrown in the mix (the skeleton's death sound made me thought I was getting hit every time haha..)\nThe sound design and style of the game is awesome, easy on the eyes and ears. The enemy variety was also really well done and each raised the stakes respectively. I found myself rushing to the door some rounds when I was getting overwhelmed which got the heart going a bit!\nOverall really good stuff!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":904841,"author_name":"Rakthalekk","author_uid":"rakthalekk","epoch":1673330696,"text":"Thank you for the feedback GunDestiny! I'll be making some updates to the itch page soon, and I'll add a setting for disabling the dash cursor (dash cooldown could instead be indicated by an icon next to the player's head), and a few other tweaks.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":915203,"author_name":"Dizzy","author_uid":"dizzy","epoch":1673503396,"text":"That is very cool! I'd like a lot the idea of harvest and sell the souls to get more upgrades. I think that the only thing i wish is that we could collect thematerial while dashing (looks like dash disable all kind of collisions, even with good things). Besides that, i love it!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":919697,"author_name":"MightyBanana","author_uid":"mightybanana","epoch":1673648478,"text":"I really liked it, great entry! Upgrades can use some explaination, so you know what you are buying, but theirs costs force you to buy them in specific order, and their effects become clear at the start of new day anyway, so not a big deal. Artstyle is amazing btw)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":919715,"author_name":"Pavel Tararin","author_uid":"pavel-tararin","epoch":1673649032,"text":"Good game. In general, it sets a good mood. I liked the music that emphasizes the theme and does not strain. I really liked the variety of enemies and their mechanics. However, I did not understand why I was buying not improvements, but the appearance of enemies. I was upset that the final enemy, who is the player's double, does nothing at all. It would be cool if, after improving the braid, it changed a little visually. There is a feeling of incompleteness, because there is no ending in the game. In general, it's pretty funny. Good luck!

Only mention is that quests sometimes dont align with the upgrades and the player misses out on the. Other than that its pretty enjoyable little game. :3\n\nAnd also if youre next to the top wall and get hit, you can glitch through the wall!
