Very good style! I really like the game. Great job!
Jump is slow and low and not working properly, the dash is just not in the game and that's really hurting the gameplay. Boss deals just too much damage. Every mistake just sets you back on another minute of gameplay that really drags the game in the no fun zone really fast. Lack of music and any sounds whatsoever not helping to effectively fight the boss too.
Like the minimalistic visuals and UI of the game, but there are really big balance issues that you need to consider!
The controls didn't work for me. The jump was too low and dash not working. From the looks of it the game could be fun if controls were implemented properly.
I love the concept and the implementation of the theme, The games controls nicely but can use some tweaking, I also think the boss can use a little bit more balancing and more telegraphed attacks, I loved the visuals of the game, Good job overall.
Unfortunately, I can't fully play the game because the character's jump is too low to avoid the boss attacks. From what I can tell, the game looks like it would be pretty good. The art style is great and the concept of fighting over a health bar is super cool.
Lemme know when you update the game and I'll be sure to play it.
The game seems cool and very clean which i like but im having trouble jumping maybe im doing something wrong but i cant jump high enough to get anywhere or to dodge the groundattack so its kinda impossible. im guessing its a bug or maybe im just stupid. the healthbar concept is great
A friend who playtested it had the same issue and it seems to stem from lag. Not your fault, some optimization is definitely in order
Game is cool, i like the concept. sounds and music could use some work imo. although i do have major skill issue. fun game nonetheless
