Hunkules.png

The brawler game of the year ! Play as the mighty Hunkules, the fan favorite gladiator and watch the crowd go wild. Slay as many enemies as you can, which might be not as easy as it sounds...

You can roll the dice to get a (temporary) better weapon, or even refill your health. But beware, gambling comes with the cost of life...

| | | | ------------- |:-------------:| | Arrow keys | move | | Space | jump |
| V | attack |
| F | roll weapon |

How many kills can you get ?

I laughed at "Run awesomeness", felt like a god when my enemies were fleeing from my ax and felt bad when the game called me a wuss, haha. Great experience. The controls were a bit tricky though, as I typically use WASD for control but that wasn't possible with having to use V for attack. The arrow keys worked fine, but I would've preferred the up arrow jumping rather than space.

Love the trashtalking and puns in this game, had a good laugh.
The controls were a bit difficult for me (especially the 'v' and 'f' keys).
The gameplay itself was really quick and intense, which I liked. Great job man!

You did very well, especially with limited time! I really liked the visuals, and the concept of gambling your life to get different "prizes" was a nice touch! Good job javabear

I killed 1 on my first attempt... Cause I'm a wuss :D Got 4 on my second try, though I guess I'm still a wuss...

I loved the taunts from the crowd. I actually found the game quite hard, was tricky to chase down the little fiends. In terms of improvements I'd be looking for clearer feedback on hits, e.g. knockback or the sprite flashing a different colour.

Great job on the AI in the end! And really good effort given the interruptions you had during the weekend.

the enemies were kinda annoying since they could jump so high and ran away lol, but a pretty sweet game overall. the audience was hype (which i liked) and the weapons were neat

The controls were a little difficult for me, but I made it work. It also seemed difficult to attack enemies as they were always right on top of me or behind me. Good pixel art and humor throughout!

A fun little brawler, I wish the button layout would have been a bit different, and that I didn't have to click to wager, but other than that it was fun and I was quite impressed by the AI.

Controls and attack was a bit difficult, but it was a nice brawler
