Rated 8/10 on SpelStation.se!
SpelStation had these comments about the game: - "Whacking Hell!" has one of the most interesting visual styles I've seen in the genre. - The game has great, powerful gothic music with organ, violin and heavy electro beats. It keeps the rounds fresh and I wouldn't mind getting the soundtrack on vinyl. - "Whacking Hell!" quickly became one of my favorite games in the genre with its mix of Darkest Dungeon and Vampire Survivors pushing the player into this “one more round” mindset.

We tweaked the hitboxes
Multiple players told us that the hitboxes were too unforgiving: the slightest intersection between our character and an enemy would register as a hit. They were also inconsistent with the isometric perspective: our character would take a hit when its head was in front of an enemy located behind. We fixed this issue by making slightly smaller hitboxes for both our character and the enemies, and not including heads (when they are above the bodies) in the hitboxes.Read full article on Community Announcements (Sanuk Games)
