Second to Nun

Nice, I had a good time with this one, it felt nice to play. I really liked the enemy variety and different options in the shop!

There were times where it got a little frustrating how little my punches pushed certain enemies though.

The goofy theme and writing are a lot of fun as well. Good job!

A fun one! I'm a big fan of the ridiculous setting and the pun name!

I know that letting you mash the melee button as fast as you can may be an issue for many but I actually enjoyed it. Maybe I'd get muscle pain eventually too but it wasn't an issue for me yet.

I like that the game encourages you to use the environment by rewarding you with more coins if you punch the enemies off the sides. That's a good idea!

The shop is integrated into the gameplay in a clever way so that it doesn't break the game flow!

Great job, this was a fun entry :)

Awesome game!! I love all the monster variety and designs, the little demons are cute. The shop system is really cool, it adds more depth to the game. Nice Jam!!

Quite enjoyable, with polished sound and visuals. The balance between fighting enemies and thinking about upgrades was well struck, which made for a fun experience.

I've tried to beat this a bunch of times now, but every run that I didn't die on ended up getting soft locked, after grabbing a shop ticket but then the shopkeeper never showing up :/ Haven't seen anyone else mention that in these feedbacks, so idk if I am just incredibly unlucky or what?

It would be nice if I could play with arrow keys instead of WASD. The arrow keys still make the character animate, so I guess you started implementing that but never finished? XD

I also wish I could just hold down the attack button instead of having to press it constantly. Or alternatively if there was some more strategy to the combat beyond "just press this button a bunch"

Fab little game, this! A lot of good enemy variety, solid controls, and it felt "complete" thanks to the music, the SFX, the menus, and the polish all round.

I definitely felt a little overpowered once I realised instead of using K OR Space to hit, I could use K AND Space. Gave me much faster knockback on the rocks where it mattered, and faster kills on the high-hit-point enemies 😄 honestly don't think that's even a complaint, it felt great just wailining on everything!

Lovely work!

Nice game! Definitely a very unique take on the theme, and it has a lot of personality-- I love the shop and shopkeeper especially. There's a huge amount of enemy variety, which goes a long way to keep a game like this from getting boring-- and I always feel like I'm making meaningful choices about where my money goes. There's also polish in the little things-- like the nun alternating her punching hand, or the really well done menus. I don't really understand the point of the jump function, but it doesn't take away from the game, so it's not an issue. What is an issue, however, is that one time I picked up the ghost coupon and the game got stuck on the "On my way!" screen. No new enemies spawned, and the ghost never came, so I had to quit. Shame, cause it was my best run yet as well. Definitely an issue worth looking into and fixing, but overall, fun game! I'll probably come back to play more later.

Great game, I really liked the store and the animations of the store popping up, really cool memorable piece to it. Aside from that random bit that stuck out to me, this was all around great.

Your games always overflow with character and originality, and this one is no exception. The silly dialogue, fun character designs, multitude of enemy types, and addictive gameplay all make this another winner. Lots of fun!

Very nice entry! I think my favourite part has to be knocking enemies off, especially ones that would take a large amount of hits and then cashing in on the gold. The enemy variety was pretty impressive too, it meant you had to change your approach which kept the gameplay fresh. Perhaps having the power-ups be cheaper and more frequent could be interesting, because in my replays I tended to skip the first apperance of the shop so I could save up more gold. Overall, great work!

Hey I played your game on stream, now I need them tasty feedbacks. here is a link if you want to watch it again https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1091776398?t=29m28s

I kinda of think of the bully enemies from mario 64. should I? lol

it was a funny beat them up, still not sure it this counts as an island, hold on I'm gona look up the deffinition.

. . . welp guess it works for it!

Pretty fun little game! A really good entry into the game jam.

Fun arcade game! I enjoyed the loop and it is super fun to push enemies off the island. Gameplay was definitely fun and the controls were responsive. Control wise, I think I prefer jump button on spacebar. Muscle memory and all that. I think I'd have liked a little more interaction with the island. Pushing them off the edges was definitely satisfying but I think some variety would be nice. Like the island changing a little bit to hammer home the feeling of claustrophobia and needing to do a little parkour action. I enjoyed the balance of when the shop came and went. The variety of enemies was also impressive! I wasn't sure what the jump button was for till later. Enjoyed the hectic panic as more enemies spawned and you're trying your best to survive. Think having the jump also be useful if the island shifted would be a nice way to re-use the mechanic and hammer in the theme more. Not that the interpretation of the theme was bad! I also appreciated the music and sound design. It's the kind of game that makes you want to jump in and try again so it's nice the music loop isn't grating and feeds into the "let's give this game another go". Action games definitely need controls to feel smooth and responsive and I think you definitely achieved that which makes it a lot of fun to keep playing on.

Neat game! I wasn't able to get far because I died instantly at 70 hp (I think maybe I walked off of the edge?). I really enjoyed just spamming the attack button, but maybe a secondary attack could result in some more interesting gameplay. Maybe an attack that is more geared towards crowd control, but with less damage than a punch to individual enemies.

Overall a good game! I can't think of much else wrong with what you have.

not bad
