Short and sweet, love the ‘feedback’ on the hits the player does. Game over screen felt a bit abrupt. If you ever expand on the game, I personally like to see more slottable abilities (like the dash).
I like how obvious the exchange mechanic was. overall good job 3.75/5
Cool exchange mechanics. In some ways it reminded me a bit of Isaac.
Fun mechanics and nice implementation, the abilities need more variety.
Sfx was nice, Good job overall.
I like the artwork, if it was polished up a little it would be great. Good controls, easy to play, easy to understand. The ability exchange system would like to have more variety, such as Ability to dash and destroy boss bullets.
I'd also like to invite you to play my game if you're interested.
Thought it was very cool that the sword moves with the direction you are attacking. Cool ideas for bosses as well.
Thanks :)
Enjoyed the game! Absolutely loved the sound effects for the bosses, some of the sounds were really funny. Managed to take down the first boss easily, but couldn't figure out how to damage the second boss - attacking the orbs back at the boss didn't seem to do damage!
Thank you very much! A little tip for boss 2: when you send back the orbs, they are close to the ground!
let me know if you will try again ;)
This was a really fun game, I liked the audio, controls, and especially the player character and its animations, (he swaps his hands when holding the sword!!)
I couldn't figure out boss 2 but it was a fun play otherwise!
Thank you very much. To beat boss 2 you have to be a little patient ;)
let me know if you will try again :)
Honestly was sad when the game ended. I wanted to keep playing. Simple but perfectly executed game. Well done!
Thank you so much, I wanted to make a longer game but I had so much work to do that month. I'm really glad you enjoyed it :D
Really cute art-style! Well done :D
thank you very much :D
Short but really fun. I liked the exchange mechanic and all the art and sound effects were really funny.
thank you so much, I'm glad you've enjoyed it :D
Really fun style and bosses! The controls felt a bit floaty, but beyond that it's great.
Yeah, I went for that organic feeling for the controls, I think it goes well with the animation style and the overall gameplay. Thank you for your feedback ;)
This was a fun game, i really enjoyed the music and sfx, and the mechanics are simple, but good.
Very enjoyable.
thank you very much :D
Fun game, I liked the player animations and sfx,it took me a bit to understand boss2 mechanic but was very creative, good job!
Glad you liked it :D
Man, this is so goofy and juicy, i like it!
thank you very much :)
