That was fun. Nice visuals. I really like the interpretation of the theme:)

@Biliogadafr thanks a lot! Just in case you stumble across a few easter eggs, don't spoil 'em in the comments ;)

Well done on the graphics! P slick overall, like the setting, but it was tough keeping the combos and stuff in mind, things got hectic so fast!

Xorboo9 Dec 2014, 13:13

Monster movement AI looks a bit buggy, but overall its awesome and fun!

stvr9 Dec 2014, 13:14

All the little details to give it the stage feel are great!

Excellent game. Everything is extremely polished and it's just amazing that this game was made in 72 hours.
Good Job!

Very cool graphics, and the fighting mechanics were pretty solid. Very well polished. Great job!

Love the game. Adding some additional attacking movements would make it even better. Well done!

I like the way you solve "one screen" problem! Heh, it's funny

@hypnoticbytes yessir, expect a dozen more in the post-jam version, along with additional weapons and all those awesome features we had no time to implement :3

Amazing graphics and great gameplay what else could I ask for?

Nice game. Sad that there are not so much combos. Minus is that I cannot see mu health. Or im just blind. Dunno.
The second is - as soon as 3 "additional healths" are used - U become immortal.

@Zimennik once you've run out of lives you're no longer getting points

Nice interpretation of the theme and awesome soundtrack. Would be nice to see this expanded with some more gameplay. A health bar would be nice.

Nice use of the theme! Love the idea of a setting the game on an action movie set too. Gameplay is surprisingly solid considering you've only got animation keyframes in.
