Well I'll first say - it took a LOT of effort to get this game to run. Downloading the .exe by itself did not open due to an openGL bug. Downloading the data AND the .exe didn't work due to the same bug. I had to download the .exe and the data folder (for both versions) before realizing I needed to place the .exe within the data folder for it to run.

That being said, once I did open the .exe, the combat was incredibly satisfying! The smooth-movement, physics-y, knockback-y, weighty feel to it was very effective. I also loved the fact that they spawned two more upon death, hydra-style. While the graphics were minimal and the gameplay simple, what is here is REALLY nice. I just recommend adding some installation instruction to your page above!

@theqiwiboy Thanks, could you specify what problem you encountered when you try to start the game?

Interesting game. I did find a bit of an exploit, if you move diagonally, the first guy can never catch up to you because you go faster than him when moving diagonally. Just a heads up. But I like the idea that killing them too quickly is dangerous, notice stuffs!

Good game, I liked the idea! I just felt that feedback was lacking. Anyway, good job! :D

Gameplay interesting but I find the enemies' mechanic very fast. (So I can "cheat" to win 😉). Continue like that.

@theqiwiboy Thanks for the information you provided!
And sorry, what is the debug info? And did you download data folder and put .exe and data folder in the same directory?
