Evil Roots

Review Time!

This game is pretty simple, and executes what it aims to do fairly well. You usually can just chop the tree and the zombies will die when they get close, but sometimes you will have to change the direction you're chopping to damage specific enemies, and the giant zombies demand a greater attention from you. I have no issues with this, I just wish there was something else to it, like a rolling move.

Besides that, there were two issues that bothered me while playing. The first is that the chopping hitbox isn't communicated properly. The zombies get hit when they get "somewhere close enough" to the player during the axe swing animation. How close? It's completely unclear. Adding a sort of slash animation would have helped wonders, something akin to the nail slash in Hollow Knight or Zero's Z-Saber in the Megaman X series. Another thing that bothers me is that the collision of the giant zombie is a bit odd. It seems smaller than it should be. Every time I try to hit the giant zombie, it seems that I'm a little bit too far away. It's not frustratingly hard, but still bothersome.

Overall, the execution wasn't completely perfect, but the game was quite fun, at least on my first playthrough.

I DID IT WITH ONE DAY LEFT AND ONE SECOND LEFT LETSG GOOOO
