What an interesting story background!

I love this too much😍

Not bad for a first game. I really liked the graphics and the AI of the enemies. The theme, although funny, seems more weird to me than anything else. Also the models of the main character and the enemies look very simple in comparison to the locations

That is a pretty funny game! I loved the ai, they were really interesting to play around. I do wished that there was a cooldown timer that would tell us when we can snip again. I had a strategy to get hair by just farming the red haired guys. I love the idea as well.

Nice work team!

A good backstory and fun gameplay.

Unfortunately, hair isn't always collected from characters.

Я люблю в этой игре «тёмный стиль» и безумный бэкграунд/сюжет, хахаха.

I love the "dark style" of this game and the crazy backstory, haha.

cool storytelling ! Would have loved some sound when you atck / hit an atck / collect hair for more responsiveness and feel the hair being cut :)

Good dark-style background story. However, it seems the player's attacks don't always land successfully. From my experience so far, I need to be right next to the enemy for the attack to connect. I'm not sure if I've implemented this correctly.

I like the idea, it's a great game! It would be great if there were more sounds during the player's actions

Add some screenshots or a cover. I’m sure it will attract more people ^^

The content is actually way better than I expected. At first, I wasn't sure because there were no preview pictures on the main page, but after I checked it out. Ended up giving it a pretty high rating

Creative concept with surprisingly smart enemy AI! The dark humor and unique hair-collecting mechanic make it stand out from typical indie games. Solid foundation for something special.

A funny interpretation of the theme, even a little creepy :) Still, it was fun to collect scalps, heh. It would be nice to add a feature where the character rotates and hits in the direction of the cursor. Good luck at the jam!
