Assets are cute, they make up a coherent \u200buniverse. Nice music as well. Visual effects look good too! I won after 4 trials, dying on the 10th or 11th wave.\n\nThe gameplay kind of reminds me of our submission for the previous jam (Dante's Harvest, you can find it on my profile), but you managed to make it way more balanced than ours :)\n\nOnly downside I see is that sometimes the character gets stuck, I don't really understand why. After a second I can move again.\n\nNice job overall!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":732608,"author_name":"Shaonde","author_uid":"shaonde","epoch":1633465715,"text":"It's a nice game written in java(good job) i just found tha the core hitbox is weird","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":735955,"author_name":"Achila eranga mohottige","author_uid":"achila-eranga-mohottige","epoch":1633490165,"text":"Helloooo there!
