Short fun little game. Got easily pulled into this one. I wish there was more levels and the ability to progressive fight harder and harder enemies. Either way I kept restarting and playing the full run through several times. The animations are just right with their bouncy pop and impacts. Audio is great. All well thought out choices that make it addictive to theory craft the goblins once you sit down and get into it. Definitely worth it. I hope they plan to release more content!

A really interesting and well-made game, perfect for killing an hour every now and then. It’s beatable, it takes a few games to really understand how everything works, and after that, you can win using a few different builds. The game is perfectly playable as is, but it’s still very much in “early access”: there’s nothing beyond a win (you just return to the start screen) and there’s no leaderboard to track your scores and past games (time, points, etc.); there’s no difficulty setting to make subsequent games harder; there are a few mechanics that allow for different builds, but more could be added. In short, this game is already very good with a GUI a bit barebone and it has the potential to become even better.
