The Fame meter was very small and i didn't notice it until the 5th or so round.
The music was Incredible, I Played for much longer just to listen to it!
The dash mechanic is interesting - feel like this would play better with a controller, though.
The crowd reactions and fame meter are neat, and really flavour-ful. I think this could be developed into something really cool - what's here all fits together really well, although not totally with the LDJAM theme (feels more like "fame is currency" than "life is currency"...)
I had a blast, played through a few times, got myself up to Champion. I liked that I felt like I could have done better, and every time I got hit it was my own fault.
If I were fiddling with this, I might test out a couple of small tweaks to see how they played: the cooldown on my dash is super-important info and can change, so I'd like a really clear indicator; I find the enemies a bit tanky, leading to a situation where I have to grind them down with a repeated loop of actions, especially the shooty guy, I wonder how it would play if they just had less HP; I got hit most often by the bigger green melee enemy, I felt like his attack range was a little bigger than the graphics indicate and I thought I was out of range but got hit.
This is a cool entry, I've played arena-fighter games before, but the dash thing creates a cool combat system that uses the space in an interesting way.
The art, sound, and music were nice, and the crowd comments were a really nice touch.
Well done!
Our WebGL build runs wells outside itch.io and we were even able to make an Android post-jam version without much difficulties so this is a bit strange for us. We'll try to make an entry that works directly in the browser next time!
The dash feels good to use, and is a nice mechanic; however, it allows to easily kite enemies, making getting to God and beyond a bit too easy :)
Overall, well done! :D
