I really like the graphics, and the controls are smooth.
It's also a nice challenge.
Wow ... This is really good ... Very impressed. The graphic design and fighting. I would definitely build on this game.
Great looking game with a very good atmosphere - mysterious and oppressive, but not overly so. The overall pacing could be faster. Blocking is a little difficult because it seems you need to get the shield physically in the way of the attacks. Finally, it's very difficult to tell the monsters apart before they're hitting you with one attack or another. Other than those issues, quite a nice game.
Loved the grapics and gameplay. I found if you walk off near the edge of the screen you cant get back on the platform. Great job on this though.
nice !

Awesome game. Well done! I made a battle arena game too. Not as good as yours. Nice work!
Upon polite invitation I entered the arena. Alone. I fought several shadowy creatures and I was able to defeat many of them before I met my demise. Sometimes death is a reward in and of itself. No. But in this case the act of dying seemed to offer something more something brighter than fighting shadowy creatures. Again I pressed start. Again I fought and met my demise. The cycle kept repeating until I found myself wondering whats with the row boat ;)
Amazing work!
Probably the best I've played so far from LD31!
5/5 Stars!
Congrats!
Enemy variations are great. Fun mechanics. Real sense of accomplishment making an attack and then whipping around and block another attack. Good stuff!
Awesome graphics and sound! The game feels great!
Really nice job!
there are some glitches like if you get stuck on the rocks at the bottom of the screen and jump back on the arena, you glitch through the floor and die.
Fantastic audio and graphics! Fun gameplay, very hard. Controls are not perfect.
great presentation! the combat was great, though I would have loved if the magic regenerated more quickly so I could show off some awesome magic attacks :)
I dont know what I expected to happen when I threw myself into the portal, but I sure died.
The graphics are awesome and the music is nice, though it clashes a bit with the other sounds at times.
I didn't like the controls, in general I find binding anything to a middle click to be tiresome when playing (wheel is fine though)... especially since you're already using the keyboard.
I love the enemies and their animations, it was hard knowing which does what; though that makes it more challenging and that's fine.
Awesome entry !
The controls are a bit hard to master (WASD is a bit tricky), but I had real fun while playing !
5S to graphics, though !
The enemies were really cool and spooky looking. Might've been nice if the different types were visually distinguished from each other a bit more, though.
Really well polished! Love the art style and the sounds. Feels like more than just a jam game.
Very fun game. Excellent models and the combat system was very good despite blocking not always working.
Awesome graphics and mood setup here. I love the slow thoughtful Dark Souls style combat. I replayed more then a few times picking apart the mechanics. Great job!

Excellent work, love the crisp clear poly models.
Fun to play, and really well polished.
This is gorgeous! i'd love to know the shader you're using for your low poly models! Great job!
Great art and sound, nothing to complain about in those areas.
The controls were a bit sluggish, and the collision detection seemed strange. My hits that should have been hitting were not. I also managed to walk off the screen with no feedback or dying it seemed.
The game is very polished and the look magnificent. So I think the character and the enemy not should fall off the screen, has much delay between jumps and lack visual feedback when defends a hit with the shield. Congratulations
This is such a nice concept! The design is great, I especially love the enemies. Really nice work. My only criticism, which I'm sure you guys know, is falling off the platform is very very easy to do. Maybe the jump is a tad floaty. Regardless it's a really good one. Nice work.
Impressive game! The shield takes a little skill to block properly, but I think that is actually good.
Soooooo beautiful :D Audio is great, animation is great, aw just so good :)
I can only ever seem to use the spike power - mouse wheel doesn't change powers, nor does E. Is it something you acquire later?
The spike creatures - would have been nice from a design perspective to see a bit more wind-up so I can learn to dodge their spikes.
REALLY GOOD.
Pretty awesome. Cool aesthetic and sound, but I thought the mouse to orient myself was a little awkward. The jumping arc didn't feel all that natural either and I was having problems with selecting powers with the mouse wheel but still, its cool as heck! Good job!
Good job on the art. I wish the fighting was a little more exciting though.
Good job.
Great game!
Really nice graphics, awesome sound, very nice gamemplay!
I miss some kind of progression system, but still amazing!
This is simply amazing - it looks and feels very good! One of the best games I played so far!
Very well done!
Yes, game looks amazing and play smooth. So sad that you have no game designer in the team to bring some innovation in gameplay.
The character design in this game is something special. Controls feel very good too. One or two bugs aside, this game plays pretty perfectly, so awesome job guys!
Oh and I forgot to mention, the sound design is absolutely fantastic!
Felt a little monotone but well, its a jam, there aint so much time. Graphics are nice, combat is working. Keep it up!
Looks very good, nice effects, cool arena and lot's of details. I think the movements should be faster and more responsive. The difficulty is pretty hard but I think I just need to practice more ;)
Wow! This is incredible, amazing work! Sound, graphics, controls, everything is solid as a rock!
Great Game! I like the enemies (they look real evil to me) as well as the graphical style of the game.
I also noticed some glitches, but creating a great game in one weekend alone seems crazz. Good job!
Great looking game! And I love different behaviors of enemies, makes it quite fun to play. More player moves would have made it even greater!
Awesome graphics! Though, a bit buggy when walking off the arena :P
I love these aesthetics. <3 I think it's one of most beautiful games in this jam. I hope I will learn some day how to create these low-poly art like yours. Game is really polished, I didn't expect that new waves will posses new abilities. Add to that player skills, nice (and smooth!) animations and I notice here lots of content of good value packed in one game in only 72 hours! It's amazing!
Impressive entry. Particularly good graphics and animations! Would have been good to have a clear way to identify enemies types (maybe a later update?). On a subjective point of view, I find hero's attack a bit slow and repetitive but hey, it's awesome to make that happen in 72h ^^
Background looks great.
I dislike needing to click for each attack. I'd rather hold the button down.
Great overall.
A bit to difficult for me, need a dodge and something to recover magic and life.
Great looking arena fighter!
Also awesome sound!
It is easy to fall through the map though.
Great graphics and beautiful colors, a bit buggy with the collisions but impressive job !
Very pretty with a solid control scheme. I liked the diversity of the gameplay mechanics and the overall ambiance thanks to the consistent visual identity and the subtle sound effects. Nice job!
I love the artistic style!
the gameplay probably needs some balancing to make it fun, but I can see the start of something really good :), especially if you focus on the melee at first, and consider powers after the melee is fun =)
Pretty addictive entry. I liked the art style and the music matches the mood very well. It's a shame the block button wasn't working as you intended it to.
Wow, that is super pretty! The sound works great with the graphics, really impressive!
Great! It's always nice to see a complete game coming out of an LD Jam.
Monster design is great, and graphics are awesome!
The game is good but forcing me to play it only on crappy web was not a good idea. Good visuals though.
Very nice sound and lovely wind waker-esque graphics. Very polished and cool ambiance. Controls were a bit clunky on my laptop, but thats me nagging. Good work.
Sick graphics! Really lovelly low-poli look. Impressive ammount of polish on every corner :P
Very impressive! Good job! =O
Keep working on it! Maybe not with the theme, because this game claims some cool levels! =)

Awesome graphics and a real challenge.
I love the overall design, the arena and the enemies.
A lot of gameplay mechanics that makes the game interesting and give it some replay value.
Excellent entry :)
