This game feels pretty nice - the movement is very fluid and the attack animations are simple but slick. The music and sound fix the graphics very well too.
I think you need something in-game to explain the controls - I only found the double jump late, and only found out about combos and charged attacks from your blog.
I couldn't get past area 7 - is there much beyond that? I think some more complex shapes for the enemies would help so you can see which way they're facing, and see when they're going to attack better.
Really freaking good! Absolutely the best game I played in the competition thus far!
With such a simple premise you succeed to make battles that require both skill and though. Great weapons, enemies and combination of enemies!
I also liked the restart. Feels very arcady. Haven't finnished it yet, but I'll be sure to come back to it.
The only drawback for me is the fact that the weapons becomes slower and slower, and while fighting those occational fast ones, it feels almost impossible to use the weapon correctly. If I'm going to play again I think I'll stick to the knife. (If I can somehow get by that 4th guy without a club =P)
The weapons aren't intended as a linear upgrade path but as a range of options. There's even an advantage to keeping the stick - the charge attack, while still only doing one damage, has great speed, reach, and knockback.
yay! I was able to play it. Really nice. I felt like there was a standard strategy to beating all of the enemies, hit and jump. That said, the strategy didn't get me past the 7th level. I did really like the feeling of the controls though, and the graphics are awesome.
Wow, considering the graphics are circles, the characters in the game somehow have a lot of personality. It plays well and it is highly challenging. I was only able to make it to area 7 and then go killed by the two 'bosslike' enemies. The game is really well designed and nicely polished.
Very nice! I love the movement and animation, and the sound was great as well. Took me a while to get into the stick-and-move rhythm but eventually by running in and attacking and then jumping away I was able to make it to Stage 8. Sometimes I seemed to get stuck when I was trying to get away, and sometimes I lost track of which of the balls on screen was me. I would like to see some more visual/auditory cues before the enemies attack so you have something to react to instead of just timing it. I also had trouble telling which weapons were better and just grabbed up whatever dropped and used it until something else dropped.
Would be nice if you didn't have to start over from the very beginning every time you die.
Really nice! I like the random weapons which act and feel different. The fang opponents are pretty tough (Area 7, I'm looking at you). Good music as well, real fun!
Nice little fighting game! The controls were quite responsive and the music and sound enhanced the game - also got to level 7, so I'm guessing there's a bit of a difficulty ramp there... a way to continue would've been nice so I could see if there was an ending of some sort.
Awesome smooth animation going on here! Not just the game, but the overall look and feel is excellent (gui, etc). Wish I could have made it further than area 4, but you start from zero every time.
Also, it might lack some kind of emotional content in order to get me to feel for this little guy.

Smooth and fun.
