Good fun! Nice job! Level ups worked well! My laptop started to die around the 3 minute mark with all of the sprites on screen unfortunately so I didnt make it to the final boss!

I enjoyed it. I think the balance between the movement speed and your ability to kill the enemies is nicely balanced. I'd say it can benefit from a more coherent art style and better telegraphed damage to the player.

did it. The random attacks were quite annoying at first but as I got more powerful it really wasn't a problem. I ALMOST died at the start however a javelin bailed me out just in time. The gameplay is there just needs some polish, such as game juice.

Using the javelin was very satisfying. Wish there was a way to gain health though so I could keep playing!

Nice survivors clone game. It starts slow and bad here but after some upgrades, I managed to stand my ground long enough and win after the boss hugged me. I don't know if that's the end goal or not though.

Nice little game, I played a bit of it on stream. I think spawn of waves could use some balancing.

Also I'm not sure why, but I could not direct the direction of the attack so it seemed to target random enemies (not even on the nearest position to me)

Nice small game, i even managed to win

Unoptimized compleatly, untill i got the javelin i could see my laptop begging for mercy from the hoard of scorpions

Pretty fun

tho, perconally, do not apreciate ai art in the menu, i feel like just making some half-decent drawing would suffuse and give more character
