This game looked great, but I think the gameplay could use a lot of work. A lot of stuff just felt floaty or unresponsive. I would parry attacks and still take a lot of damage from stuff I couldn't even defend against. It also seemed like attacks that I would parry still end up damaging me.
Besides that stuff the game looks great and the music and sound effects add to that. I really dig the atmosphere the game is going for, and if it was tightened up a little I could see myself losing quite a few hours to it.
thank you for the feedback, I see what you mean and would love to release an improved version post jam! for example there is no invincibility window after a perfect parry and that would make a big difference in feel. I am excited to play your game soon!
was fun to figure out how the power system worked! could definitely play this one for a while
Oozing with style.
Really cool game with one of the strongest 'presentation' in the jam I bet.
If I had to nitpick, I'd say the UI of the upgrade stuff could look better, especially comparing it with how everything else looks.
thanks for the review and I will play your game soon! yea it was rushed lol and definitely will be enhanced after the jam!
Very cool game! I liked it a lot, stunning sprites and music goes well with this gameplay loop. I could use some more visual effects on attacks, rolls and overall character, but despite this, really good job!
Wow, this game is fantastic. From the sprite work to the gameplay, I genuinely have like no complaints. One thing is enemy patterns being somewhat difficult to follow like sometimes slashes would be different for multiple enemies however I'd say that's also due in part to me sucking. It's seriously so much fun!
thank you so much! Can’t wait to play your game soon
Cool game! could benefit from a tutorial tho
Banger soundtrack and cohesive artstyle! IMO it might be slightly too challenging timing wise for gamejam game, but still fun regardless (balance is hardddddd in a few days haha). But I'm a huge parry fiend so I had fun regardless!
thank you! Yes exactly haha, I will be expanding and balancing the game for a post jam version but thank you so much for playing and enjoying this one! Right now it is beatable but you kind of have to memorize the timings and I will want the difficulty to start out easy but then build up to be hard in a full version
This is a neat horde survival game! One thing I didn't quite like was the fact that my main attack would eat at my power so it seemed you either wanted to only use main attacks in between some parries or you only used parry until you could wipe the screen, the ability to have both forms of attack be effective in their own right would bring this game out a lot. I really enjoy the vibe and really appreciate the ability to see your character in action with the How-To screen up, very nice touch.
Thanks for the feedback! I will definitely be expanding and balancing the game and will want to make the main attack a lot more viable (use much less power if at all). Your game was a blast!
Amazing presentation. Gameplay was a lot of fun. But I think game relies a bit too much on the parry. The game has a lot of potential!
thanks! Yea I would love to keep balancing after the jam and make other options more viable!
Power Parry! Farming enemy attacks for power leads to different gameplay, was interesting to try it out. Power upgrades are addictive in a good way! Also really liked the visual style!
Thank you for the game <3
Presentation is awesome. I especially loved the music and attack animations. Gameplay wise I felt like parries were very hard to time, but also incredible overpowered because you could just spam it. After I upgraded my health per parry I was basically invincible by just walking into huge enemy groups, spamming right click and Q.
Cool entry with lots of potential!
the tunes are my life now
I think the parry is a little difficult with varying attacks and so many enemies at once, but I like a game with parrying involved. I think the parry could use a little more juice, but I like the power scaling and gameplay. The art is really smooth and minimalistic, and definitely a game I could see myself sinking a good bit of time into with a bit of juice. Great game!
thanks for the comment! I will actually be working and expanding on this based on feedback so i’ll be excited to show it again!
Really nice vibe! I love how the sounds complemented and blended well with the music. Very nice visual aesthetic too. Nice work!
thank you! will be playing your game tonight!

Immaculate aesthetic and the music was fantastic! Good job!
Like the idea! But the parrying is way too hard, at least for me - I could make it like 1 in 10 times or so, which made the game kinda unbearable. Would love to play it with at least a slightly bigger window for parrying.
Also, really cool minimalistic visuals!
sorry to hear it was too hard! I am definitely going to tweak the difficulty but hope you still thought it was fun! I will check out your game tonight
The music makes me feel like I'm a car in the background of a vaporwave music video, I love it! Very satisfying hitting parries, the animations on the enemies are readable but still snappy. Great work!
thanks! loved power jump and could see that already being a game you could release on steam that streamers would play!
The music in this is so good! Can't go wrong with a level up system, it made me feel way more powerful as I went along. That and I appreciate how much faster you can move from the starting speed.
thanks for the kind words! I am excited to play your game tonight
This game has great energy! I like the colors used for the environment. It looks cool. I did find a potion out of bounds. I'm not sure if the borders expand later or if it wasn't meant to be there.
yea that was just something I didn’t get around to fixing 😂 thanks for playing!
