I love the style, graphics, music, all of that fits well together. I noticed crates in  the first and second stage. It would be nice if there were more crates throughout the game which you could destroy, with powerups and health. Also the dodge mechanics, I think it would be nice if the enemy would give us a hint before the attack, so the player could use dodge more effectively. It could also work as combo: perform perfect dodge and then attack to hit even harder.\nThis way the combat would be more satisfying.\n\nAlso I noticed a minor bug, I think? From stage 6 the player doesn't need to beat all the enemies to proceed to the next stage.\n\nAnyway, great job!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":650520,"author_name":"joni-jarvinen","author_uid":"joni-jarvinen","epoch":1619549814,"text":"@greyvan Thank you so much for your feedback!\n\nWhat you noticed is actually not a bug.

The feeling is really well done and the combo system is very satisfying. I think there should be some kind of checkpoints. I died twice at the boss, and wasn't even close to beat him :( I will try again!\n\nThe visuals are really cool, you managed to give they this \"pureness\" feeling that goes really well with the context. Good job. One thing though: I don't know how you could have made it otherwise, but to me the crates appeared as breakable - so it was a bit disappointing there...\n\nI think you could have worked a bit more with the theme. It seems a bit \"too easy\" as for an interpration of it. Anyway, theme isn't the most important part.\n\nThe music is really nice and the sword sound effects are perfect!\n\nGood job, nice entry !","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":653285,"author_name":"Adrianejro","author_uid":"adrianejro","epoch":1619558586,"text":"Nice game, but ultimately the controls are limited to pressing LMB, which isn't bad.
