Cool game. The art and music are awesome and the mood created is very nice. Some sort of measure of overall progress would be cool but this is a good game.

Pretty cool idea! Enemy movement is interesting and quite challenging!

Very well done! The audio is very fitting and the gameplay feels rock solid. Great job!

Very cool! The art style is well done. The AI is very difficult to beat, they move and attack very fast.

Great use of theme! Definitely "no-legs" mode was easier than the other two for me. The game is definitely pretty difficult with short range and pretty fast enemies.

Especially good in mood, theme, and audio.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! @jeremy-ryan my personal best is using "no-eyes" mode and basically standing still and bull-fighting the zombies.

Very cool game! Unless it's pretty hard and sword hitbox is sometimes unclear, it feels very immersive and motivate to play again and again. Good work!

That bass drop after the first kill though. Very rad game, the swoosh animation for attacking was smooth too!

Works quite well as a proof of concept, and it would be cool to see expanded with different enemies and sacrifice options. The effect on kill is awesome, although it happens a bit frequently lmao

That first moment, the slow down and audio kick-in, oh man that was very well done :)

Nice idea, it was cool slow move effect when you kill someone. Nice graphic, but for me it's too dark

Awesome music and mood!

Great game and a good use of the theme! The moment you kill your first enemy is mind blowing.

I like the audio but the game was too difficult for me. I tried it several times and it's very punishing, one mistake and you are dead even from full lives.

I like the idea of having to react to the enemy attack, so you can't just going ham on them.
Also +1 for Godot (i think)

The enemies were a little too fast and the hitbox of the axe felt weird, i think the concept is pretty good but maybe you could balance the sacrifices a bit more, i felt like the heart was the worst one so far, if you keep polishing the game i'm sure you'll get something nice :)

Coming from someone who over complicates intros, I really like yours. It's clear and too the point :) The time mechanic in your game is also off to a nice start! The audio is strong and the controls/animations are quite good! Only big thing I would suggest is brightening up the level a little more. At first I thought I had chosen to sacrifice my eyes. Overall, Brilliant Job on this! :D
