The zoom effect while doing tricks is very cool, I struggled to land where I wanted to between the zoom, timescale, and fast gravity & enemy speeds though. If any one of those factors were adjusted down I think it would handle better.
Well done!
Besides that, awesome job! I cracked up when I saw the first "SICK" popup, and the slow motion was pretty fun. I even found out you could aerial slash during the slow motion, which helped a lot. I ended up getting the ultimate victory. :D
You could probably make this sort of thing into a more complete game if you wanted. I was a bit reminded of Guacamelee -- I loved the forgiving combo system in that.
Probably one of the best games so far!
Doing tricks, attacking and pogoing is a little bit tricky, but challenging! Gotta love this pogo-katana thing! :3
Graphic style is pretty nice and well done, the game felt like some kind of puppet theater.
The jump sound starts to hurt my ears after a while, though. :P But I think it's just the volume of my phones! :3
Nice Entry!
