Battleworld by kassanu

Battleworld is a game where you must protect your planet from invaders.
Had fun making this over the weekend. Kept it simple, didn't want to stress too much getting everything perfect. After not finishing the last two dares it was nice to get this done. Thanks for viewing!
You play as a knight defending your planet from the necromancers and their skeletal minions. Skeletons are fast and will run straight at you. Cut them down before they touch you. The necromancers are slow but they can shoot fireballs at you. Block them with your shield and get in close to take them down. Survive as long as you can!
Controls:
Left Arrow -> Move Counterclockwise
Right Arrow -> Move Clockwise
Left Shift -> Defend against fireballs
Space -> Attack

I initially found it hard to synchronize the hit with the enemies since sometimes it would lag the animation and catch me off guard. Later on I found out you can just leave the space bar pressed down while moving and it will keep attacking indefinitely, it actually kind of makes you invincible while you are at it. After letting go of the space bar for that long, it gets stuck that way, I guess it is still playing some leftover commands but it kept attacking until I died.
Since I was running around not being able to cover, I also found out it is much easier to just go around the mages instead of blocking their fireballs. These mechanics could really use some work on them but it still is a nice quick game.
