The credit hover sound is a random fart sound. Need I say any more? 
Fantastic game, excellent work!!

Playability:
Incredibly well polished game with a lot going for it. Controls are simple and understandable even without a tutorial experience. It was a bit hard to understand what the crowd wanted to see at first but once I got the hang of it things were a lot more fun. Suffers a bit from performance issues.

Theme:
Fits the theme well and directly ties it into gameplay. Making this about gladiators and the colosseum was not expected. Nice work.

Cleverness:
Witty humor throughout the experience. Really enjoyed the arena and silly dialogue.

Artistic Style:
Dripping with flavor and great sound effects. Stellar work on this.

Best one I've played this jam. Art is great, controls are a bit clunky and the game suffers because of it. Good job

Pretty cool game. Got a couple gladiators through the champions to freedom.  Looks like it's infinite fighting and the armory persists through characters.  Nice art, music, and sound.  The controls took a little getting the hang of but it's good.

I love the sillyness of this game. The intro with the guy running and the audio has me laughing! Gameplay was great, I didn't understand it attacked in your mouse direction but once I did the combat was good fun. I liked the colosseum setting and how it tied into the theme with the crowd being entertained. Really fantastic work for 2 weeks

All the ambience of this game is really funny and with the mix of what the gameplay brings that you have to entertain the crowd and not only win the fight is an amazing ideia, i had a lot of fun ^^.

Really liked the game and artwork a lot. You could definitely expand on the gameplay a bit and this would be a really solid game.
