Day of the Broom

I cant play the game .-. says that it needs the file to execute or something. Where I try to open in winrar, it says that the files are corrupted. I uninstalled and downloaded it again, three times. And nothing changed. Oh well.

Really neat idea, though its quite star! I included it in my Silly New Years 2015-2016 Jam compilation video series, if you would like to check it out! :) https://youtu.be/0QMvJnrQT3g

Hello Neginfinity, welcome to Gamejolt!

So, I want to be realistic, but I also want to be as constructive as possible, so this is what I'm going to do:
First of all you should ask yourself if this game is done and if you're moving onto the next one, or if you're going to continue to work on it and update to make it really spectacular. So, I'm going to go ahead and rate the game now, but if you ever update it, I promise to come back and re-grade your game for you. I'm also going to give you my best suggestions as how to make this game a lot better.

GAMEPLAY RATING = 2/5
WHY: The controls are difficult and the gameplay is too hard- in a bad way because of that and a few other things. Namely the lack of sufficient knockback or a working backpeddle.
HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER: Firstly, change the controls to the normal WASD/Mouse setup, i.e. W is forward, AD is sidestepping, S is backstepping, and the mouse controls direction and perspective. What this does will allow for attacking while walking backwards from the enemy. Walk in attack, walk back attack. This will solve a LOT of the combat problems. To improve it even further, lengthen the knockback animation and actually move the enemy with the knockback (maybe vary the lenght and distance on the attack [maybe dust-slam could knock them down?] ). Finally, I don't know if making the character only walking was an important choice or not, but it might be better to at least add some sort of sprint mechanic (maybe with stamina bar?).

SOUND/MUSIC RATING = 1/5
WHY: Music is not always necessary, but sound is a MUST in a game like this to amp up the excitement.
HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER: Add some sound effects! You can find lots of free stuff on the internet that will work for what you need; you don't have to make your own sounds. If you wanted to add any sort of soundtrack, the same is true.

GRAPHICS RATING = 4/5
WHY: I'm a fan of low-poly (especially cause it runs well on my laptop, hehe), and this one is nice.
HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER: The only thing I could think is to make the animations flashy-er, and maybe a bit more detail on the broom-bristles.

UI RATING = 2/5
WHY: It's very lackluster and "default" looking.
HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER: For starters, make the HP a bar instead of a percentage; it's nicer and more efficient. To really drive everything home, you could make everything broom-themed for example. Also, you should have different colors for the enemy and player damage to make things easier to read.

TOTAL = 2.3/5

This has the potential to be really fun, and you've already put a lot into it. I hope you can carry on and make it really great. =)

Lovely artstyle.
