The movement controls are nice and responsive making the rolls feel satisfying. The graphics and sound mesh very well together and make for quite a calming experience. The only thing is that I found it difficult to not get hit when attacking enemies but that may just be me being bad :).

When you take damage it isn't very obvious as noted.

Fun, kind-of-fluid, and very well-balanced.\nThe graphics are not bad at all.\nI didn't understand the use of the equipment tho.\nI think that the \"roll\" button doesn't dodge, it just makes you faster, which I find counter intuitive (In that case it should have been called a \"dash\" instead of a roll)\nWith some good old epic music, it would have been my favorite entry so far in this Jam.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Valphera","author_uid":"1036667","time":"2017-08-09T08:49:11Z","epoch":1502268551,"modified":1502268551,"text":"Super fun!

The character doesn't turn either, which make attacking hostiles to your right a swing and a miss.\n\nThe presentation didn't jell with me too well. Tiny pixel people rendered in three colors (+ alpha, you cheat!) and the audio similarly sparse. It is a stylistic choice of course and you pulled it off nicely.\n\nOk entry.

I loved the visuals and the audio and the gameplay was pretty good too. You should definitely focus on adding some more variance by adding say, powerups. I'd love to see this in procedurally generated levels, the game already feels like a rogue-like, so why not go all the way with it (more enemies, bosses and powerups would also help achieve that)!

The gameplay was also more fun than i thought it would be, the charge mechanic works really well to make it more interesting.
