My 5th LudumDare entry. Didn't quite finish it. It's not really balanced and I planned on doing more enemys and weapons, but the time run short.

Controls:
wasd/ArrowKeys + Space or Gamepad

I like where this is going (and I'm a huge fan of splatter effects :D ). Too bad you didn't have time to finish it; a goal / highscore at least would have been great.

Very interesting game, good concept and good graphics!

Very easy to get into, I like the choice of after-wave bonus too.

The embedded box on your ludum page isn't big enough for the game window so it has scrollbars :/ The links work though.

Your game is extremely difficulty but otherwise well executed. Keep at it!

Fun game, love the screen shake. However the controls are horrible. It would be better if you could walk with wasd/arrows and then face towards the mouse when attacking. Now the movement is awkward.

Elegant music under that perfect to run out from enemies, excellent game mechanics!

I liked this game, I thought it was fun! I played it in the web player and it seemed like the player's attack animation wasn't playing through fully, but other than that, I really enjoyed playing it!

Loved the gore. If you ever plan to do post-LD version, set the aiming to be separate action from moving. For example put the movement to WASD and aiming to mouse. I also liked the progression element - do I heal myself now or increase my attack/defense for future?

Well, that escalated quickly.

Well done arena fighting game here! The progression/upgrade system is really nice and the screen shaking effect is not at all as disturbing as i have seen it on many other games. Overall this is a nice base for further development!

The game broke for me when I got blown up, apart from that, it was fun to play and fit the theme very well.

Really basic but fun experience. I found controls a bit not great, because you cant hit and run away at the same time. Also art needs some to be worked nore, in my opinion.

Its fun to play and nice idea!

The game was pretty fun. The music was very nice too.

Hi there. Like the fighting, much blood. Got to wave 5 first time. Be nice if UI in breaks between waves was also keyboard controlled. Nice sounds, music could be quieter proportionally to SFX maybe? Good job!

Nice arena shaped screen for one! :3
Although it's incomplete, it's still good.

Nice game! Maybe some mouse controls to hit would benefit the overall combat system. Also, I can't get to understand when bombs explode, if they are timed or if they must be hit. A flash before explosion would be nice.

Nevertheless, I liked too the round system, and specially the powerups you may select. Good work.
