Sorry man, the first review for your game - and it's negative, It seems you got unlucky since I'm a picky ♥♥♥♥♥. I played only for a couple of minutes and found out that I don't want to play more. So I won't. But I will try to give you constructive feedback. Anyway, the positives: - The art is reasonably good, simple, not ugly - The price The negatives: - Abyssmal collisions with obstacles. It seems collision shapes are just squares, but what's drawn on the sprite - is definitely not. I also believe upper part of cross sprite should not block the player. The collision itself is also glitchy. Collision with enemies is also not good - Sometimes the character just starts attacking 2-x slower randomly for no reason or staggers against imaginary barrier (not sure with the second one, might be imagining things, but I had such impression) - Unreadable ranged enemy's attack. It seems they attack on timer - you can telegraph that, but the attack animation is nonexistent (or it maybe does but not is pronounced enough to acknowledge) - Animations should not interrupt gameplay. For example - knockback ability does it's knockback thing after the "get hit" animation finalizes. So you attack enemy, the onHit animation plays, then after a second the enemy gets knockbacked. Well, thank you for onhit animations in the first place - After wave ~15 it feels very boring, some enemy pops in once in a while, you kill it and sit wait for another to spawn, but then you die because of idiotic hitboxes - The game seems to have been designed to be playable without mouse. Good. Why then do I need the mouse for ability selection on level up - The abilities selection is not very balanced. So a warrior, 2 choises. Sacrifice 1 hp out of 5 for 2x damage, or get 2x duration for invincibility period after getting hit. Well, of course the first option, absolutely, definitely, always, it is 510 times more useful than the second. - No background music, the "wind" sound loop gets stale after couple of minutes. It commits to the atmosphere, yes, but you just hear the same sound looped with no diversity. What was I expecting - A simplistic survivors clone with less power fantasy and more skill and action What I got - Buggy, clunky, unpolished and boring game, the idea is what I expected, but reflected through a broken mirror
