Loved the art style on this one. Easy and fun. Well I think once I completed wave 9/10 it said I beat the game so not sure if that's a bug or feature. But great game either way, I'm looking at that Usagi engine now. I saw you put up the dev video so I'll start there :)
Oh, thanks for that report, gonna fix it!
Of course!
i love the artstyle!
ayyy did it on first try o/
love the art, love the music, and the little story too.
funny how the bullets are mosquitos.
the skeletons are a menace, but it was fun to beat them. Fun little game, loved it :DI loved this game! :P
The graphics are so cute! And it's cool that you can shoot ennemies running away with water, usually in these types of games you don't get that chance
