Enter the arena and fight numerous waves of hideous creature as fast as possible.

Awesome graphics and a real challenge. I love the overall design, the arena and the enemies. A lot of gameplay mechanics that makes the game interesting and give it some replay value. Excellent entry :)
Great looking game with a very good atmosphere - mysterious and oppressive, but not overly so. The overall pacing could be faster. Blocking is a little difficult because it seems you need to get the shield physically in the way of the attacks. Finally, it's very difficult to tell the monsters apart before they're hitting you with one attack or another. Other than those issues, quite a nice game.
Upon polite invitation I entered the arena. Alone. I fought several shadowy creatures and I was able to defeat many of them before I met my demise. Sometimes death is a reward in and of itself. No. But in this case the act of dying seemed to offer something more something brighter than fighting shadowy creatures. Again I pressed start. Again I fought and met my demise. The cycle kept repeating until I found myself wondering whats with the row boat ;)
Enemy variations are great. Fun mechanics. Real sense of accomplishment making an attack and then whipping around and block another attack. Good stuff!
Awesome graphics and sound! The game feels great! Really nice job! there are some glitches like if you get stuck on the rocks at the bottom of the screen and jump back on the arena, you glitch through the floor and die.
great presentation! the combat was great, though I would have loved if the magic regenerated more quickly so I could show off some awesome magic attacks :)
The graphics are awesome and the music is nice, though it clashes a bit with the other sounds at times. I didn't like the controls, in general I find binding anything to a middle click to be tiresome when playing (wheel is fine though)... especially since you're already using the keyboard.
I love the enemies and their animations, it was hard knowing which does what; though that makes it more challenging and that's fine.
The enemies were really cool and spooky looking. Might've been nice if the different types were visually distinguished from each other a bit more, though.
Very fun game. Excellent models and the combat system was very good despite blocking not always working.

Awesome graphics and mood setup here. I love the slow thoughtful Dark Souls style combat. I replayed more then a few times picking apart the mechanics. Great job!
Great art and sound, nothing to complain about in those areas.
The controls were a bit sluggish, and the collision detection seemed strange. My hits that should have been hitting were not. I also managed to walk off the screen with no feedback or dying it seemed.
The game is very polished and the look magnificent. So I think the character and the enemy not should fall off the screen, has much delay between jumps and lack visual feedback when defends a hit with the shield. Congratulations
This is such a nice concept! The design is great, I especially love the enemies. Really nice work. My only criticism, which I'm sure you guys know, is falling off the platform is very very easy to do. Maybe the jump is a tad floaty. Regardless it's a really good one. Nice work.
Pretty awesome. Cool aesthetic and sound, but I thought the mouse to orient myself was a little awkward. The jumping arc didn't feel all that natural either and I was having problems with selecting powers with the mouse wheel but still, its cool as heck! Good job!
The character design in this game is something special. Controls feel very good too. One or two bugs aside, this game plays pretty perfectly, so awesome job guys! Oh and I forgot to mention, the sound design is absolutely fantastic!
Looks very good, nice effects, cool arena and lot's of details. I think the movements should be faster and more responsive. The difficulty is pretty hard but I think I just need to practice more ;)
Great Game! I like the enemies (they look real evil to me) as well as the graphical style of the game. I also noticed some glitches, but creating a great game in one weekend alone seems crazz. Good job!
I love these aesthetics. <3 I think it's one of most beautiful games in this jam. I hope I will learn some day how to create these low-poly art like yours. Game is really polished, I didn't expect that new waves will posses new abilities. Add to that player skills, nice (and smooth!) animations and I notice here lots of content of good value packed in one game in only 72 hours! It's amazing!
Impressive entry. Particularly good graphics and animations! Would have been good to have a clear way to identify enemies types (maybe a later update?). On a subjective point of view, I find hero's attack a bit slow and repetitive but hey, it's awesome to make that happen in 72h ^^
Very pretty with a solid control scheme. I liked the diversity of the gameplay mechanics and the overall ambiance thanks to the consistent visual identity and the subtle sound effects. Nice job!
I love the artistic style! the gameplay probably needs some balancing to make it fun, but I can see the start of something really good :), especially if you focus on the melee at first, and consider powers after the melee is fun =)
Pretty addictive entry. I liked the art style and the music matches the mood very well. It's a shame the block button wasn't working as you intended it to.
Very nice sound and lovely wind waker-esque graphics. Very polished and cool ambiance. Controls were a bit clunky on my laptop, but thats me nagging. Good work.
I love the overall design, the arena and the enemies.
A lot of gameplay mechanics that makes the game interesting and give it some replay value.
Excellent entry :)
