A fun game about the quest to get our free milkshake back. I like a lot the animation of the player rays and the bosses design, the normal enemies are ok but too many t-rex the game music works well with the game too Stages are very open so you usually have some good routes to follow, even some secret ones funny game

"NARWHAR Project Hornwhale" is what happens when two things fail. First, when the ability of a person to spell "Narwhal" properly fails, and secondly, when Itch fails its only single job, which is to contain amateur pixelcrap and keep the rest of the gaming industry safe from mediocrity. What do you do in the game? You navigate levels in a repetitive 2D retro shoot 'em up/bullet hell experience, with frustratingly basic controls. There's also a passcode system, and a bunch of guns... so a lot of "work" went into inflating the size and scope of this garbage, but none went into considering what gamers actually want (see the player counts below if you don't believe me). This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. This game is fairly date…

Игра 'NARWHAR Project Hornwhale' - это безумный и уморительный файтинг, в котором два нарвала пытаются пронзить друг друга своими рогами. Геймплей прост, но увлекателен: вы управляете движениями и рывками своего рога, стараясь попасть в уязвимые места противника. Физика игры нарочито абсурдна, и это только добавляет веселья. Нарвалы кувыркаются, застревают друг в друге, а иногда и вовсе вылетают за пределы арены. Графика пиксельная, но очень стильная и детализированная. Особенно хорошо получились анимации нарвалов. 'NARWHAR' - отличный выбор для игры с друзьями. Легко научиться, но сложно освоить, и каждая схватка становится источником истерического смеха. Рекомендую всем, кто ищет безумный и забавный файтинг! Кроме того, в игре есть тонна кастомизации персонажей, что явно добавляет интереса.
