Fun to play with some good achievements and progression. Semi physics based, somewhat arcade physics, Pull a giant mace headed ball towards your current position, dodge out the way of it and hope it smashes into rock monsters behind you, camera ALWAYS Faces ball from 3rd person perspective. You can move and jump out the way of rock monsters and your ball mace but monster often spawn above you and fall on you doing damage as well as approach you from behind the camera position so it is difficult to see the danger.

String Mace is a small indie action game built around a simple but unusual idea: using a string-based weapon to fight enemies. It focuses on quick combat, movement, and experimenting with a unique mechanic rather than delivering a large story or complex adventure. The most interesting part of String Mace is its main gameplay idea. The weapon gives the game a different feel compared to standard action games, and learning how to use it effectively can be satisfying. The unusual combat style helps it stand out from many small indie projects that rely on more familiar weapons and mechanics. The controls are easy to understand, but mastering the movement and attacks takes some practice. When everything works properly, fights can feel smooth and rewarding because success comes from learning the mechanics rather than simply upgrading your character. The game also benefits from being simple. It does not overload the player with unnecessary systems, allowing the main mechanic to stay the focus. For a short indie experience, this straightforward approach works well. However, the biggest issue is that the idea does not always have enough depth behind it. While the string mace mechanic is …

This is a VERY SOLID GAME. If you could somehow import this to Xbox store in the free section, add in 2 player deathmatch and 4 player Free For All where you have to stay in your giant square and launch your mace at enemy in their square. Then add like 20 cool skin microtransactions and I think you could become an extremely wealthy person. This game has an extremely unique and solid base and is very fun. With its extremely simple controls you could even play it on smart TV's with remote control, 4 directions and 1 button. I really do think you could becomea mutli-millionaire with this game base. Maybe after everyone gets bored of waves mode after a few months and 1 on 1 mode and Free for ALL you can add in a 20 player giant map where last survivor wins.
