BUSHIDŌ by wujood

Only if you are fast you can exit the loop and find redemption for your soul.

When the theme was announced, there was a big OOF going around the table.
It was one of those that most of our group of five had considering too narrow, resulting in lots of similar games.
We really wanted to do another 2D pixel art scroller, so we had to come up with a game mechanic to fit the theme.
Just play the game to discover it!

To get through the levels you need to walk without stopping. On the top left corner you see your current highscore and a needed highscore. Under that you see a multiplier that increases while you walk and by that increases the points you get.
If you reach the end of the level without having enough points the level loops.

the control where a i little uncomfortable i would add a second attack button maybe "j" or "k"
and finally i couldn't tell what would kill me or not.. an red outline (for example) would help!
great game! i have a ton of fun <3
But why cant I jump from this position? 
the only thing I would suggest is to make the water friendly, but thats a minor detail
What I liked most was how nicely every aspect fit together to make a really convincing experience. Amazing job!
Overall, great job!

//nevermind I tried it another time and managed to win! super fun experience would definietely pay for a full version of this game
According to my research this sound is called **Kakegoe** which is a shout that is performed in traditional japanese theater. It is often lead by a small drum (not sure how that is called). You can here a MUCH better version of that excact thing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj7DjWc6ZVE
I have read the comments above and I relate to what people liked too and also agree with their improvement suggestions.
So I will try to bring something new:
If you chose the exotic screen ratio because we need to see what is coming in advance while keeping moving that's a nice solution. And I also liked it because it felt like being a movie character. You could also try to have the character not centered but somewhere on the left that would allow you to zoom a bit more on your great pixel arts while keeping the same distance of view toward the right.
If you’d like to rewatch the playthrough, you can find it here:
