Positives: This is such a fun game. It’s incredibly addictive and satisfying, especially when you pull off a huge combo and wipe out all the golems on the screen.All the characters and upgrades are unique and fun enough to keep the gameplay feeling fresh. Negatives: Please remove the AI-generated art. The in-game models already look really good, so you could either use those directly or make the art match the style of the achievements, because those look awesome. The camera could also use some tweaks, like a zoom-out option so you can see the golems behind you more easily. Overall: I really like this game, and I would definitely recommend it.
Genuinely a blast to play but you really gotta get rid of the AI capsule art man. The in-game models look super charming so I can tell there's artistic talent here, just use an in-game screenshot or MS Paint scribbles or something. I'd be happy to give a positive review without the AI.

А это ещё что за мусор!?
The gameplay loop's fun, but my god is that camera terrible. Most damage I take is because I can't even see my character due to enemies blocking LOS, the camera flying off into space to track the mace, or some other jankiness.

Залипательная игрушка, в игре ваше оружие это большой шар который вы метаете по арене.
вообщем увлекательная механика, быстро привыкаешь к управлению, интересные стили. немного напрягает камера(неплохо, но если можно что то еще придумать, стоит попробовать разраб) пойдет, но нужны какие то обновления или режимы итд, а то после открытия всех стилей скучно
Good fun, worth the price. Get if you want to kill some boredom.
Это редкий пример игры, где скучно становится уже через 10 минут. Управление деревянное, анимации выглядят так, будто их делали наспех, а геймплей сводится к однообразному маханию булавой без какого-либо чувства прогресса. Музыка быстро надоедает, а визуальный стиль выглядит дешево и безвкусно. Создаётся ощущение, что игре не хватило ни бюджета, ни времени на нормальную доработку. Даже для любителей инди-проектов тут почти не за что зацепиться. После пары часов остаётся только вопрос: зачем вообще это было запускать.
Its a free game, so any problems can be pretty easily written off.
