The combo system is neat, I'd like to see where you go with that.
As far as problems go, it took me a while to figure out I can slash in different directions during the second level. Also, playing with a 360 controller crashes (or closes?) the game when pressing a button. Physics felt a little stiff since it seems to use a fixed velocity when jumping in a direction and it's hard to change directions.
Could you try 360 controller again? I checked input map and B was by default the same as escape on keyboard which closes the game, I haven't setup controller correctly yet but left/right should work by default, can you walk at least using controller? Lastly what default 360 controls would you suggest for jump/accept(keyboard z), slash/return(keyboard x) and shoot(keyboard c)?
Yeah, I checked again more carefully. Left/right works and B closes the game. I tried the new version 4 up right now.
I'm not sure what the best button layout is, I guess three of the four ABXY buttons on the controller would be the closest translation of the keyboard layout.
I like the walljumps. The velocity makes her a bit hard to control though... maybe drop the player's velocity to 0 upon landing so that you don't immediately run off the platform if you're still holding a direction. Likewise, I'd make it take a few frames to hit full velocity after pressing forward. I haven't figured out all the subtleties of platforming physics myself so it's hard to explain in detail; right now it just feels fast and twitchy (which doesn't go well with the limited air control).
