This was fun! It would benefit from instructions or a controls menu, though. I still am not quite sure whether I just failed to figure out how to manually attack or if there's only the projectiles and the dash.

I do like running past enemies while my passive damage abilities destroy them, though! Good job catering to this fantasy that's so poorly supported in most games. :)

Nice straightforward gameplay! Like the prior comment said, I believe the only things I can do is run around and dash? Everything is cohesive, the assets you have are nice.

the art was really well done here. I could look at those sprites all day.

A nice survivor style game, might benefit from a few more attacks/abilities to spice things up?
Good work!

I love survivor style games so this one is right up my alley too. The graphics are really charming as well.
One thing I didn't really like was that it takes quite a long time to truly get going but that's also a genre-wide issue I think.

Love me a survivor-style game. The arena was on point with the game jam theme, I found dividing the overall space between levels to be a smart way to play even more into it. Music choice was spot on. The music was an absolute banger, I'll definitely be checking out their works. Only issue I noticed was the slime sprites would go *over* the sword and not under. Not an issue per se, but there was no feedback on whether the golem was being hit with my attack. Overall though this was an enjoyable game, I had fun with it. Good job!

Love the title screen.
The gameplay is well done but became somewhat monotonous after a few waves though.
