I kept trying to hit low and middle on the first enemy to get underneath his weapon.\rSimply having the first enemy with is sword at mid would help I think. Once the user has disarmed that first enemy, then it is more obvious what the goal is. Either that or have the first baddy just stand there rather than running at you.\r\rI like that the sound and visuals work together to set the tone and mood. Feels very Japanese."},{"author_name":"Dmitrix","author_uid":"10093","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 12:37am","epoch":1387240320,"text":"Ha, that was awesome.

I am really pleasantly surprised because I ran out of events in Construct2 because I only have the free version. I had to cut out a bunch of stuff including a tutorial enemy, so I'm very glad that most of you understood how to play!"},{"author_name":"Alismuffin","author_uid":"29410","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 1:02pm","epoch":1387285020,"text":"This is cool, though it feels a little slow in my opinion.

Also, if you miss a sumo, you get stuck at that section, and the only option is to reload the game. Disarming was a nice mechanic, but it took me a couple of attempts to realise what was going on."},{"author_name":"MaTX","author_uid":"8087","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 1:15pm","epoch":1387285800,"text":"LOVE the game over screen.\r\rNice game, although it was really confusing for me to understand that I had to hit the swords and not the enemies themselves. I have to say that the delay of the controls did not help :)\r\rReally neat atmosphere. A bit buggy though, enemies go through walls often. Polish this up and then publish it, it's a good game!\r\r(Hardly fitting with theme tho)"},{"author_name":"conormn","author_uid":"31095","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 2:41pm","epoch":1387290960,"text":"Nice job, keep going with it!"},{"author_name":"Volute","author_uid":"11243","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 3:00pm","epoch":1387292100,"text":"Wow, I loved the visuals and mood, you really did something here ! Took me a while to figure out how to kill the enemies, and then I was so stressed, I fled (and died) when I saw one even though the sword was mid position !

If you like, you can add flying enemies (although you can't swing while jumping), or just focus on the enemies, without jumping obstacle. It will be easier for you, and you can do something else besides adding jump.\r\rAnyway, it's a great game"},{"author_name":"Giovanni Cappellotto","author_uid":"20065","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 10:10am","epoch":1387447500,"text":"Nice but a little bit buggy."},{"author_name":"Todd Luke","author_uid":"11463","time":"Dec 23, 2013 @ 12:24am","epoch":1387757940,"text":"not bad! i really dug the vignette effect and simple visuals. i think the sumo bros enemy bugged out because it kept repeating a sound effect really loud and one ran off the stage."}],"images":["ld28\/31488-4cfce007376931e60e8fbcb95470e475.jpg","ld28\/31488-5ff653224e3bca4a1e5992115420cdf5.jpg","ld28\/31488-4911317fbbe33b825a5ff8f6e4f2b3d5.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/80348432\/index.html","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"22729","g_author":"31488","g_event":"LD28","g_eventkey":"20","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"22759","g_title":"The Samurai's Lonesome Heart","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"130","g_commentcount":"20","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/31488-shot0.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/31488-shot1.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/31488-shot2.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The Samurai's only and lonesome heart, protect it with your life.
