As someone who also went with the Greek god theme, nice to see great minds think alike! I particularly enjoyed the voxelized destruction. The far island seemed a bit far - it seemed like you needed to be high on both Apollo and Hermes to make the jump. Would be interesting to explore this concept of balance a bit further. Also, is it just me or does it seem like your score is always one point short of pleasing Zeus, haha.

My only wish is that the environment was themed to the characters instead of just white trays, but the gameplay was super fun, and the music was awesome.

Voxels ftw! Very neat idea, killing your favored god's minions for a higher score. If only I could live up to Zeus' high expectations :P Good job!

This was so much fun to play!!! Hope you get to add more to this game and balance the God system to make it a bit more balanced but other than that, I really liked it! Well done on your submission!!

Loved the combat effects and the way the enemies dissolved as they take damage.

The characters visual style is pretty cool. The game idea is okay, but the game feels a bit unfinished. Overall a fine LD game.
