Death’s Gambit
DEATH'S GAMBIT
You are the Hunter, cursed to stalk the one prey that cannot die—Death itself.
But the hunt has a price. Every time you fall, your soul decays, twisting you into a monstrous abomination. To reclaim your humanity, you must face Death in a brutal duel, where victory means a second chance… and defeat means eternal damnation.

A very entertaining survivor game. I've been playing it for quite some time. I like the art and the auto-fire mechanics are very convenient. The number of upgrades and weapons is excellent, as are the cards that appear in the interface for them.
I found it a bit unfair that enemies can spawn so close, considering the short distance between the screen and the player.
I was surprised by the revival mechanics and having to kill in death mode. <3
The game is super polished, the effects, the pixel art, everything is incredible. Very addictive!
Very polished! Nice work. The game is fun to play and addictive. When I became Death my character couldn't move (which may have been intentional) but the enemy also ran off and got stuck behind a tree and I couldn't do anything else. Some of the text elements need to be spell-checked. Still good apart from those small issues though!
Very juicy game! The ui effects are very clean and satisfactory, and it remembers a lot my own game because of the roguelite elements
Those wind effects are clean
