Although it is so fucking hard, this game is incredible. Good colors, good music, great combat and so much more. I just wish there were more tutorial levels, because that combo thing was really hard to hit properly (maybe I'm just bad idk). If you're willing to frustrate yourself, give this game a try. I still didn't finish it yet.

Please support a gamepad or multiple key control layouts - I thought this entry looked really interesting but I couldn't really play it with that control scheme. Maybe it's just me but I was feeling like I need to break my fingers just for a simple dash. Apart from that just like I said: looks super interesting!
Ok, so I felt that the movement mechanics weren't quite right, especially the dash: it was extremely fast, and I feel it could be more controlled if it was slower. The visuals were good but not perfect, you could've added more visual effects and particles, and the tutorials could be more readable and visible. At first I didn't know the little arrow in the dashing tutorial was supposed to be the cursor. The gameplay was quite good though.
Your game is very nice visually and fits the theme well. I can tell you put a lot of thought into the setting and atmosphere and it turned out really nice!! The character is really cute too!! While I was playing I had this thought that it would be cool if the falling platforms lit up when you land on them. Idk why I thought that, but I thought I'd share that with you :D
Amazing Jam!!
The controls are a little weird, the platforms mechanics are a bit rough, but the visual style is amazing, also really cool ideas in general well done!
Cool game! I liked the color mood. Attack animation was nice too. Controls are a bit unforgiving I think. Like jumping from a platform or a wall should still work a couple of frames even when you already fell of the platform, it's not realistic but feels nicer. Also I had a really werid bug when I spawned at a checkpoint it saved my last movement and dashes up into the laser again and again :/ Nice entry tho :)
Well done, beautiful platformer.
It turned out to be not convenient control for me: it would be better to assign a jump to W, but a dash to Space. There are not enough sounds. Good luck with your development! =)
Very nice visuals! Overall idea is great, just a couple small issues that can be easily tweaked. Movement feels a bit stiff, for example, wall jumping is very strict and can feel inverted, would help to have a coyote timer on it. The dashes feel unreliable on some movement sections, in which some directions (diagonals?) go way further than normal directions.
The combat can be tedious, due to large enemy health, speed based movement platformers mostly have lower enemy health to keep the flow of the game moving. I found myself having to just camp a corner and deflect the bullets to be able to beat some levels.
Overall though, very nice idea! Could very well be expanded upon into a great game! I'm excited to see where this goes!
yeah, i completely forgot to fix the dash, also the enemy health i could lower it a bit, however in some cases it is useful so you can combo-dash them!
I mean, the original idea was to be more of a hack and slash with various combos and heavy and light attacks, where a different combo trows the enemy on a different direction, but i didn't have time to make various combos so i just left one and made it throw the enemy towards the mouse.
Glad to hear you enjoyed!
Also thanks for the critic, it helps a lot!
;D
Hi! Overall, a fun game with good visuals, keep me enterteined for a while.
One thing though, in my opinion, that the dash system depends on the mouse should be reviewed, or in any case, better explained.
Amazing game! Great visuals, nice controls, and over-all an awesome experience! Only thing is that the game doesn't showcase that well the controls. For example, I didn't you could dash with "Shift" until I checked the game page itself. Other than that, great game! Could use some minor tweaks, but no major changes needed!
