STAB THINGS!

Enter the arena and stab some tumorous monsters! Take the radium that is so rightfully yours.
But the more you collect, the more mutated you opponent becomes!

Controls:
WASD to move,
LMB to stab,
Space to dodge, F1 for Fullscreen.

EDIT: No more installer! Now it's just a zip. Much better.

The graphics in this game are really nice, and it was fun to play. I would suggest having the player fight more than one creature at a time.

Graphics are nice. Got a little bored after awhile, but it was fun seeing how mutated the monster got.

This was so amazingly fun and super addicting!! The fact that you did it in a weekend is astounding!! I got to 60 mutation before I failed lol but yeah amazing job this is definitely a winner!

Hey good to see you've entered the jam! Neat entry, feeling's good. The mutation thing tho, ends up being a typical difficulty increase. Monsters design and behavior are really interesting, definitely an idea worth pushing

Cool game. Addictive gameplay loop that's essentially a super long boss fight. The generation mechanic works pretty well and keeps the game playable for a while. I'd agree that multiple monsters would be cool after a bit.

Solid entry! Good job! I especially liked the audio, both the music and the effects!

I needed a moment to figure out how to even start the game. It is a bit counterintuitive you have to hit a button several times in a menu. Graphics and sound are really cool, gives the right feeling! Combat works well and feels good. The enemy generation is a cool idea and works well. However, the same tactic worked every time for me, so fighting became a bit repetitive after a while. I stopped at around 50 mutation. More variety would be nice. Maybe more easier enemies for a round or different mutations? Or some obstacles in the arena.

All in all a really solid entry!

I was bad at first tries, so I decided to retry, and I saw that saving is only necessary if I want to replay it later. Don't know if it's intended, it allowed me to understand how to beat the monster easily, but this is a little less challenging ;) It was fun to play, but I quit after only 30 levels, a little more variation in mutation would be great (perhaps with one or two more attacking parts or styles). Good entry anyways, well done!

This is a game that has no end and even no failure so I've got 150+mutations. Quite interesting menu. Art and sound is perfect for me. I especially like the feel when I click and my character stab on the enemy and then it flashes red. So impressive. I guess this monster is more harder to make than to defeat. Yet I found one way to defeat it easily with the loss of only 4 health each time, that is quickly rushes close it and hit the body ragardless of the arms. Overall I like it.

This is a really cool game~ I love the music and sound effect, and the visuals are pretty sweet too. If you made an expanded version of this, I'd love to see some character upgrades; maybe spend the radium you acquire to become almost as mutated the enemies?~
