How does the game fit the theme?
You go to a pillow tournament and absolutely nothing could go wrong. Everyone is going to smack eachother with pillows and it's going to be fun!...
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I used some of my old code I have made earlier, but other than that everything else I made during the jam.
How many people worked on the game?3

This was really addictive, very fun I loved everything about the gameplay awesome work!!
The weight felt really great when you were able to really whack the other guys out of the frame. It was very satisfying. I had some difficult maintaining the swinging of the pillow. I am not sure if that is just my equipment, but I agree with others that seeing the cursor in some way would be helpful. Maybe then I would be able to tell if it was just me.
Also, for the words telling you the controls, I couldn't read the ones on the right very well until I walked right, but then they disappeared as soon as I could start to see them. It was a mix of the colors in the background in that area are darker there, and the letters themselves there I think were a little too smooshed together.
Nice work!
A lot of people have complained about not seeing the cursor so we'll probably add some quick custom cursor to make it easier to after the jam.
Ah yes, just a regular day in my siblings rooms...
This was a really enjoyable game that may have caused a mild amount of rage deep within my soul. The concept is amazing, and the art is superb, and with a few tweaks (Mainly around being able to see your mouse easier) this would 100% be something I would play over and over again.
Great work!! 😁
Hmm pillow vs sword... well I like my odds! :P
It was a beautiful pixel art game and quick combat was a nice touch. Good job.
The concept is awesome, the execution suffers because of the controls. I don't see where the cursor is, so I can't swing the pillow properly. BTW, the lack of fairness is epic :) Someone didn't get the memo, that this is a PILLOW fight? :D
My biggest criticism is that I could not cleary see where my mouse is. I would consider changing the cursor to something darker so it won’t “dissapper” in the light background of the game. Pretty fun and challanging though and great art.
This game is very fun! The fight is really hard, I found it really difficult to swing the pillow around. Because I have 2 monitors, whenever my cursor entered my second monitor, the pillow stopped swinging and the ninjas got me. But that's not really your fault, as that's entirely a browser issue. But overall the gameplay was very fun. I really like the artstyle, it's really cute!
Love the arts and story, but the game is really really really hard. Still have no idea how to defeat those guy.
You have to spin the pillow fast enough for the hits to count. I know we didn't indicate that clearly enough.
i think it will be great if the pillow can parry the swords
The game is really good and i love the art style, sometimes the hits dont register but i somehow beat it in seconds at first lmao
ITS SO HARD AHHHH (don't worry it's okay) really great gameplay and visuals, not quite seeing the theme though.
The theme is from the story, you're going to a pillow fight tournament and everything should be fine. But then some random gang guys come and bring knifes.
I see, that's just on me, great game!
I love it! It is quite difficult, and it pisses me off, which makes me try another run ;-)
Love the art and animations! The attack mechanic is unique and I love the feedback when hitting and getting hit.
I instantly lost the first few times- maybe lower the difficulty at the start of the game a bit, to let the player get used to the controls? Fun game and wonderful Idea. Well done.
What a fun and hilarious idea, who brings a pillow into a knife fight?
Simple and easy to understand mechanic, you did a great job on the visual and sound effect, they feel visceral and cartoonish, perfect for the tone of the game.
I do find the game a little difficult, maybe you can start with 1 enemy first, so the player can get used to the game mechanic, then you can spawn more enemies.
In any case, this was fun! Good Job!
That was so difficult! DX
But great style!
