Danko by Pixel_Error
"What else can I do to save these people?" Cried out Danko above the thunder. And suddenly he ripped open his breast and tore out his heart and held it high above his head.
The Ludum dare 44 is the first for our team.

I should note that the music is way too soft and the sound effects are way too loud. I had to reduce my headphones to the lowest volume and all I could hear were the squishing and crunching sound effects.
The later enemies have interesting designs and I like the nude pixel art. The overall aesthetics of the game's art and music is fine but not my style...
thanks for feedback
Plus: It perfectly matches the theme!
But good entry guys !
Also there is a bug - on the win screen it seems that character is still controlable on the back - you can move and attack and hear it sounds.
Sometimes the enemies attack during a knockback (or it does not reset their timers).
Pretty impressive otherwise. Good job.
Sometimes I encountered a problem that the altar menu didn't open.
I was immerged in the mood
What you can improve:
* add feedback when enemy touched you and dealed damages
* better hitbox between my attack and enemy
* launch the attack in direction of my click mouse
* on the win screen add button to restart
* add pause menu
I hope, your add coop/leaderboard in future
Its kinda of odd to think that a game about a naked man with a sword is cool but you guys managed it. It kinda fits the proposed thematic of a man ripping his own breast to tore his heart out (how he managed to still alive after ripping the heart and brain out is up to debate).
Anyway, excellent job delivering this game!

The powerups are a bit strong, I sacrificed everything at the start and just kept clicking until the wave was over.
It's really unpredictable if an enemy can hit me or not, I kept dying and I didn't know why.
Gameplay is also very polished. The amount of screen shake and sfx is perfect. The combat is slow but satisfying. But controlling with the mouse is awkward. The enemies can shoot in any direction, so I think it's a bit unfair to make the player unable to do that.
The theme interpretation is also nice. But I'm not sure how death works, Does the altar get weaker on respawn or do the waves reset? I died a couple of times and then it showed me a game over screen.
Overall, this is a very polished entry. Your team has done a great job here.
The movement and combat feels a bit sluggish though, maybe it should be more rapid.
Honestly I think this entry will make its way to the top!
Good job !
Overall a very solid entry and something to be proud of! Well done to all involved :grin:
