Wow, i really enjoyed this! The mechanic is great. It is easy to learn, hard to master, which is perfect! Your minimalistic visuals are good looking. And i will be really glad if you continue working on this game!
Awesome game, and really great take on the theme :D I enjoyed playing this game quite a lot. Would be interesting to see enemies with different AIs as it became quite easy to just run in circles, let the enemies clump up, and pick them off. But AI is hard thing to do in the time space of Ludum Dare :P
One of my favorites so far! I really like the look of the game and it seems quite polished. I'd like the camera to be refined a bit, but otherwise, it's really great!
I loved it! The best part when you catch the recently thrown guy in the air. But sometimes your hook gets stuck and wasd isn't working. Anyway, it's awesome! Let's back to the fight!
Very nice game, I like the mechanic of grabing stuff and throwing it, tough i think it gets a bit frustrating in the end, since you can't kill all of them.
Really well executed overall. Great art and fun mechanic, I wish the weapon could scale somehow, at 2 or 3 min it became a little "mechanic" and was not as fun as the first min. Please keep working on this game! Anyhow, what a great entry!. awesome job, mad respect
Very nice presentation, with solid graphics and use of sound. I personally had a hard time predicting where a released enemy would fly, making it a bit hard to appreciate the simplicity of the game. Additionally, the lack of variety and objectives leaves the experience a bit dry. I think a line indicating the enemy's trajectory could have been useful.
Hi Crowbeak, thanks for the comments. For the audio, I was undecided whether to opt out or not. In the end I decided to keep this category since I spent much time on this aspect, and in the creation of most of the sound effects used. I clearly stated in the description and in the opening game screen, that the music was not made by me.
Well done. Graphics look great and the grappling mechanic works well. It's a bit hard to aim since the spin seems to be a bit too fast but otherwise a fun game.
Great graphics, lovely sound effects and nice animations. The game play is pretty fun too. Nice polish on this one. More enemy types, boss fights, and weapon powerups would round it out quite nicely.
Nice swinging mechanic, the multiple states where you have to grab -> swing -> throw gives it a nice workflow for executing attacks. Throws are difficult to aim since it's based on the enemy's velocity when you let go and the swing radius is pretty small.
I like how you can play it safe and just hit a skeleton with your currently held enemy directly, but it only kills just the one, while a successful throw can kill all the skeletons in a line.
Really good grpahics, I like how everything is a well textured box guy. The skeleton gibs are especially appealing.
Solid mechanic. Would like to have more control over which way the ghosts flew away when you release them. As it is I only really had success when I got close to other ghosts and let them crash into each other. Cool idea & nicely done.

Nice graphics, good music and challenging gameplay. Very good game. Congrats!
2) This is a neat concept, but it was too easy to kite the enemies around the arena.
Simple mechanic but I like how well it's implemented in this game plus I love how you've managed to capture the Roman Colosseum aesthetic.
