Really fun mechanic! I really like the dashing attack, althought a lot of times I dash and then I get hurt witch feels a little weird (maybe having a timer when the enemys get hurt so they aren't moving and cant harm you?), but when got the hang of it is really fun to use it. It could be further explored since it allows for higher jumps, getting arround spikes and other kinds of obstacles... (there may be this stuff further in the game).

Overall, great work!

I love how you used the theme. Making each attack get weaker as you use them but buff the other attack is a great idea to encourage the player to vary their playstyle. The game also has great art.

Unfortunately, there is a bit of chunkiness to the game. Having to use up to jump is annoying. Spacebar is much more of a standard jump button. Additionally, the audio balance isn't great. The music is very quiet compared to the sound effects unfortunately. Additionally, it's too easy to sit back and use the lightning bolts against some enemies, even at 10% effectiveness.

I don't want this to make it sound like I disliked the game though. It's quite amazing for being made in 7 days. I've only seen this kind of mechanic present in the game Salt and Sanctuary before. In there, there are fire and electric spells. Using spells of one kind will "imbalance" you. Continuing to use the same element will eventually cause you to explode unless you wait or use the other element. IA similar mechanic is used to great effect here and I like that taking damage also boosts you damage. It make getting hit feel way less bad. It helps the player fail forward so they stick with their mistake and move forward.

Overall, the game has some amazing ideas and I'd love to see where it can go with some polish.

I really like the visuals and atmosphere of the game! The enemies are really cute, I don't want to hurt them- haha! I like the use of the player's and the enemies' attack strength being tied to your health. Cool game!

Hi, I really liked how the theme was applied in this game with the attacks balancing thing, it kept me playing until the very end, good work

Slash is so good, wall slide is good to, but who needs wall slide when he has that slash. I flight through all stages before big dude. Ghosts after big boss is just unbeatable for me. 

Very good character design and animation. Nice music and sounds. Well done!

The mechanics took me a little bit to master, but once I got it, it felt amazing to slash around everything! The animation on the player was really good too! Glad I managed to beat it, well done!

Great game and if you want to make it better make the jump with space then make the second level easier I took 1 hour and didnt bet it

THIS IS PERFECT! it's one of the few games I kept playing for longer than what I expect, the controls are butter smooth, art is great, the application of the theme is good too. This game has potential to be a commercial game! good work <3

Even though I loved the cute pixel art style and the dash mechanism, i do feel like there's some room for improvement when it comes to the vfx and the effects. Was fun playing it and i enjoyed the final fight a lot, I would love to see more levels in the future. Great game 10/10

For starters - the game is fun, intresting, and so on and so on. I realy do fill that way, but lots of people already told you that, so there's no real need for me to do so. Lets better go to criticizm.  So, I've beaten the last boss by using only mouse. The mele atack gives you nearly infinity mobility, especialy if you-re near walls, and both it and th range one allows you to stay in the air for as long as you'd like. So I just flew from one wall to another using meles, climbed up the same way, and shot the incoming ghosts, moving back over them when they came too close. It kinda wasn't that interesting. I think the game should either have more ballanced moveset, or levels that make use of the already existing imbalance. But all of this is mostly relevant in case you are going to develop this game further. What you have for now is still realy cool for a game-jam. Thanks a lot for a fun game!

I had so much fun playing this game. The mechanics are really well made, and that last part while hard, gave me the sastifaction to finally beat it. Would love to see more levels of this kind and the game being expanded. Also, if you have time, can you rate my game? Thanks!

Neat take on the theme i like the forcing the player to switch up between melee and range. This game gave me Mark of the Ninja vibes and i loved the player animations. I did find the melee attack a  bit difficult having to aim it on the person even tho it looked like a slash that would hit a bunch of enemies. Other than that a really fun game!

really like the visuals, however, it would have been nice to haver more visual feedback on if the enemies were getting damaged, and it was hard to attack enemies without damaging yourself. outside of that, the character movement is very good. A+ for fluidity
