Cool concept hopefully you fix the bugs so that I can play the intentional game. I didn't get to overthrow myself due to the bug at the end. I wish there was more juice in the attacks in terms of sound effects and/or screen shake. And also wish there was a description of what each of the weapons does.
the game broke at the final boss, and wouldn't let me click anything after winning.
I am a god, ran straight to the end and killed the BBG, then the game crashed. Built different
The art is beautiful, but there seems ti be something very wrong with the sound.
