Incredible sprite work and fun gameplay - I felt sometimes I could just wait in a corner and cheese the enemies, but despite that it had me hooked. Long live Nudacus

Really smooth gameplay, solid mechanics, fantastic art, and driving music make this a must-play for LD45. This is the sort of game that's perfect for a game jam, and it's a blast to play! Great job!

Well made! tough but fair. I stuck with it till the end :) It has some nice potential for achievements and combos (very satisfying to knock them into each other for double kill)

Nice and original. Still have an option to mindlessly run around in circles which is effective on some levels. But the idea is awesome. Nice graphics and sound. Thanks, I enjoed.

Beautiful art and sound. Fun to play. Could be improved by tweaking the hitboxes a bit.

That was very fun and very-well polished for what the time frame allows. The graphics and audio were awesome! I think the archers were a little tough, but only because you had no idea when they were going to shoot. Maybe a little more emphasis on that would be nice, but nonetheless, I loved it!

Pretty fun. Love the body slam mechanic. The biggest issue I had is that a lot of time in the late levels the easiest way to beat a level was just to hide in a corner and wait for enemies to kill themselves. This was mostly since the slam was less reliable in the end levels because of the number of enemies and traps. But really strong considering the time crunch.

fun game -- the controls a a little hard at first but you get used to it -- like that the enemies are dumb and can kill each other -- thanks for making this

Superrr Art and Gameplay! A complete and polished game. I really had fun playing it. Controls needs some work and the camera movement could have been better.

Well done with the game. It was a neat take on top down action games and it played well. The shove felt very satisfying to use. It would have been nice if the knights had more of a tell before they used the spin attack. Overall nice work. :slight_smile:

Cool! It's the funniest game I've played for this jam )))) Nice polish and good job overall!

On the design side, it feels quite hard to play - at least on a mac with touchpad only Maybe with mouse it is easier. But it might benefit from a more simple control scheme - when you are hitting in the direction of last movement.
