Oh My Squash!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Oh My Squash! is a 3D retro-inspired endless action survival game where you must hold back waves of slimes with unique abilities! Using your trusty hammer and grappling hook, you must last as long as possible! As you beat more waves you can upgrade your abilities, leading to unique playstyles and strategies for each playthrough depending on if you upgrade jumps, health, speed, grappling, or hammer size!

Gameplay
You need to wipe out all the enemies to clear each wave. If enemies touch you, you take damage.
Glowblobs (Blue Enemy) 🔵
Glowblobs will explode when they contact the ground or an enemy after you hit them. You can use their explosions to kill other enemies too!
The game will always spawn one more if there are none. Don't worry, their explosions won't harm you.
Maddads (Red Enemy) 🔴
There are multiple ways to kill a maddad. You can use a glowblob explosion, hit them while they are in the air, or hit them at high speeds!
Hitting a maddad in air
Using the momentum from a grapple to launch a maddad
Flumpkins (Purple Enemy) 🟣
Flumpkins are the older brothers of the group, and require 3 hits from a Glowblob to kill! They appear every 3 waves.
Upgrades ðŸ›
Upgrades people, upgrades
Every wave after the second wave, you can upgrade your character! Upgrades include: Refill Health, Max Health +2, Bigger Hammer (my favorite), Jumps +1, Speed +1, Jump Height +1, Grapple Range +20
Upgrades stack infinitely.
Hammer Angles 🔨
The angle at which you hit an enemy determines its direction. If you hit a glowblob from above, you can even detonate it right where it stands!
Crosshair âž•
The crosshair will turn yellow when you can grapple to somewhere, and green when you can hit it with your hammer.

Nice game, very nice slightly pixelated style, the AI of the enemies is good and in general the game is very well made. However, I cannot but mention the following problems:
1) The waiting time when playing in the browser is extremely long, about 1-2 minutes if you have 3MB/s internet (my internet is 3MB/s because I use mobile data to see how fast the game would load from the phone)
2) The attack speed is very slow (I don't know if this is done on purpose so that the attack speed can be improved later or if the animation itself is slow).
3) I would have liked to have the possibility to choose at least between difficulties (on "Easy" the game restores a life point every minute and on "Normal" the game remains as it is now).
Thanks for the feedback!
1) WebGL is pretty slow, if it's an issue you can download it. I should probably compile to Linux and MacOS.
2) I added a lag time after to make hammering more deliberate, but you're right, I should consider lowering it. I'll do some tests. I can even make cooldown an upgradeable stat.
3) Difficulty would be a good idea! From playtests it seemed a little too difficult but I didn't want to make it too easy.
