The art is so smooth and the gameplay is fast and it just flows so well together! Lovely time!\n \nWe share the similar take on limitation, which is good because I liked your interpretation a lot, it really gives you an incentive to slice and dice.\n\nI've been saying this a lot, but you should really consider taking this game post jam and making something even more incredible out of it.

Really well presented--the art, text, palette, particles and sounds all worked together really well to build up a slick and cohesive experience. :smile: \n\nI felt like there could have been a bit more depth to the gameplay. Perhaps recovering more health if you hit an enemy *just* as they're about to fire their arrow (seeing as how they already give you a little indication in advance), or even some way of dodging through arrows, which would of course be risky when the screen starts to fill up. Maybe some enemy variants too.\n\nA little bit of unobtrusive background music would have really rounded the experience off, I think--it's a little conspicuous in its absence...!\n\nYou did really well here, though, please don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed this! If you decide to do more with it post-jam, I'd love to see how it turns out! :grin: ","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":827393,"author_name":"LDJam user 279546","author_uid":"279546","epoch":1649796972,"text":"This would make for a bad-ass arcade game.

Only happened once, not sure what caused it.\n\nMaybe the platforms could be less frequent on the vertical axis, it feels a bit confusing and cluttered.\n\nIt might worth a try to see how it would control if you could dash-slice by double tapping the direction you are running instead of using a separate key.\n\nSounds are great but dying feels unexpectedly silent.\n\nMinor annoyance but please let me restart with the keyboard!\n\nVery cool entry!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":833631,"author_name":"potkirland","author_uid":"potkirland","epoch":1650320273,"text":"![a.png](\/\/\/raw\/828\/f3\/z\/4e275.png)\n\nloving the aesthetics! and the fx! i think the arrows are a bit too punishing since we are already losing hp constantly i believe they can hit a little softer to extend play time. but everything else is so smoothly done and the color palette is really beautiful good game :thumbsup: ","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":836347,"author_name":"Evan Minto","author_uid":"evan-minto","epoch":1650555683,"text":"This is really fun and polished!
