You are in an arena and slay some slimes while a relentless circle of dark magic closes in on you. Will you be able to survive the assault by the evil slimes?

This game is a bit hard, so don't get discouraged if you don't manage to win on your first try. The circle/spawn pattern is always the same, so try to memorize it and adapt to the pattern!

Sound effects were generated with SFXR.

Controls:
W A S D - Movement
Mouse - Aim
Left Mouse Button - Sword Slash

Watch out, your sword has a slight cooldown.

Hey man, this is a pretty good action game! I like that you added the timer to the attack to prevent mashing, which adds more timing to the game, which makes this jam game a cut above similar games mechanically. I think for this particular game where we are running away, a little more reach might feel better. I like that the zone moves around, but since there are no obstacles besides the walls / spawners, it doesn't make the game as interesting as it could be. I think simply adding more obstacles and aids to the arena would greatly improve the game. Overall, good job!

Really like the art in this game! It was a bit confusing when I died as to if I had actually died or not because nothing really happened except for the message on the screen but it was fun and a good challenge

The game was fun. Super hard. Feel that the difficulty ramp was a line drawn straight up.

Playable game, just would be nice have more sound effect.

Only one complain: I played the web version, no fullscreen, I can't see the -Press to start - after dying.
