This is the most fun game of the jam I've played so far. From just a fun factor this five stars for sure. The different power ups you and the enemies can get really make the game. I got the "Player attacks have knockback" and I laughed out loud when I sent the first enemy flying across the screen. Great job!
The knockback have a behavior different from what I had in mind when I first implemented it but I kept the effect after trying it and I am happy to see other people enjoy it too!
Is it the player attack or the enemies attack, or everything maybe haha?
I stuggled quite a bit to get the attack so it is not to hard or too easy, I know there is room for improvments so if you could give me more precision I can think about solutions.
The hitbox are squared, the player strike faster than the enemies.
Anyway thank you for the review, much appreciate !
It felt like I wasn't always hitting the enemy when I thought I should be, but it wasn't horribly off, just a little off making it feel odd. Still a lot of fun and I could see it becoming even better with further polish
I can see what you mean, thank you for pointing that out! :)
Timing, hitbox and range. My guess is on the player timing since you hurt enemies at the very begining of the animation, I tried to make the attack animation faster to not have this odd impression but it might not be enough. I was afraid that by adding delay on the player attack to match the animation it would make the game feel slow... but I think I should try ^^

Great minds think alike, huh? 😁
I like the fact that you store the number of deaths in the main menu - it really puts my struggles into perspective!
Haha right?!
Thanks, glad you can get ideas from my work ;)
I was thinking of adding a win counter on the main menu too.
The attack feels a bit odd. Not sure if it is the hitbox or the response time. Otherwise fun idea
Oh... Could you describe more the "odd" part?
