Thanks for playing our game!
It was our first/second-ish jam experience & it was a blast creating this game!
Nearly all assets were handcrafted by us during this 10-day jam!
(except fonts, sound effects (taken from past projects/sound packs) & the dialogue system, which we modified pretty heavily for this game)

This game is crazy good, I can’t get through over 12.th wave.
The game was really fun! The only problem I have with it is that the enemy doesn't have hit stun so the enemies can hit you back immediately after you attacked them. It is a little bit annoying but besides that the game is great!
Oh yeah the game is pretty hard on this version XD. Didn't have the time to properly implement IFrames on the jam version so getting hit does feel unfair at times.
I've made some tweaks for the next version (small sneak peek: there's a parry mechanic on the new version! 👀) Still not quite ready to reveal it yet tho so let me cook a bit longer ;)
It's so good. Do you have a github repo for it? I want to see the code if you may.
Ayy thanks for checking it out!!
For the code unfortunately I'm using a local git repo & there's a bunch of stuff that I can't upload so I can't share it fully, however I'll be sharing small code snippets here & there ;)
I recently posted a behind the scenes on my wave manager, there's a small code snippet there too so check it out if you're interested! https://x.com/IDK_BOX
This game is so damn sick and so polished, especially for just 10 days, truly a masterpiece.
I did notice that there were two abilities named broken mind, the one that breaks shields and the one that makes attacks explode.
Thank you!!! Also yea I probably missed that XD, will fix that in the next version (whenever it comes out... probably in the next few months)
can you download this game or just play it in browser?
You can play it on the browser! (There's no downloadable version yet)
omg its so fckin AMAZING i am truly inlove of this game.
I am a gamedev and this motivates me SO MUCH to be able to create smth like this !!
Ayy thank you!!
Also good luck on your gamedev journey! ;)
i think the keybord iead is great but the fact attack button is so weirdly placed id a sturuggle to actually attack i suggest use a key on the keybord that is on the other side for example 'j' as then you wont need to take your hand of the move keys
Thanks for the feedback! Maybe I'll add rebindable controls as well in the next version of the game, so stay tuned for that ;)
fun but the fact that the character lunges forward when attacking makes it feel like i get hit a lot more than i should, and mouse controls would be nice for aiming
also the purple enemies that move diagonally kinda suck lol
Ayy thanks for trying it! I do agree controls are incredibly difficult on this version, I've been working on a new version with updated controls & a lot of QoL improvements but it's not ready yet! I'm also experimenting with smarter enemies on the next version so hopefully the purple enemies are a bit better as well (fingers crossed!)
Definitely thanks for trying it out, stay tuned for future updates if you're interested ;)
this feels and plays so well!
Came here from YouTube, loved every bit of it! I too really like Hyperlight Drifter and Hades's artstyle, and I think you have done a fantasic job in pulling off your game!!!! Well Done and I look forward to seeing what else you do (are you going to keep doing gamejams or start your own longer term project?)
Planning to make shorter games for a bit (could be gamejams, or could just be my own projects, depends on the mood I guess XD), then in the not so far future I'll try out a longer term project! Like I have a vision of a game that I want to make but currently I don't have the experience for it yet (I haven't even touched 3D yet in Unity!).
Thanks for checking out my game, hopefully I'll release something even better sometime soon ;), cheers!
looks like a really fun game! I really like the portraits! came here from your youtube!
Ayy thanks for checking it out ;), You can thank Clive (our artist) for the amazing portrait art
Currently working on a few updates for it (& A ton of quality of life improvements) so stay tuned for it! ✨
This is quite fun to play.
And the music definitely makes it more fun.
I like the concept as well, mutiny against a King needs to be answered ...
Just saw your pass the game for blackthorn prod, congratulations, didn't know where else to comment, so left one here.
Ayy thank you 💖!! Also it's been a while since we last chatted btw, how's your gamedev journey so far?
Still going.
Been making real progress in a few areas lately, done a few more jams, and I'm also (hopefully) less than a week from getting a game published on Google Play. My take on a classic arcade game, to figure out the processes to get a game published somewhere it will make money. Google Play has the lowest cost of entry.
The last few weeks have been more about business and policy than about actually making a game, but still progress.
Learned a few important lessons along the way, and I now also have a blog and a twitter account as well.
Found you on twitter and followed you there as well after seeing the video.
Mate that's awesome! do let me know when your game releases on google play, I wanna give it a shot XD. & yeah turns out there's a whole lot of business stuff to take care of before publishing to a storefront, it's not as easy as in itch.
Also my twitter's not that active rn (mainly using it to just browse), if you do wanna stay in contact, feel free to add my discord "idkbox"
Nice
Great job so many cool variations of enemies, art and sfx where amazing.
im just at awe at how stunning this game is visually and muically, well done honestly
Thank you ;)
Incredible job for that short time at our disposal! awesome!
It was defo a challenge to fit everything in within 10-days XD, Glad you enjoyed it!
So pretty!
Thank you ✨✨
Really fun! Great sound and music choices! The mechanics felt hard due to button placement. My fingers felt a little crowded on wasdz.
Hey, Thanks for playing ✨!
The controls defo need some getting used to XD. Defo will address this in a future update with gamepad support, maybe mouse aiming & (perhaps) controls remapping. I'm not sure with your finger placement, are you using [W, A, S, D] to move & [Z] to attack?
