Wow! Special effects in every direction and frenetic gameplay that blows your mind! I really enjoyed this game :D

If I had to make one criticism, it would be the very large number of keys to remember for the different actions. It takes a lot of concentration to stay sharp without making mistakes in your inputs, even though the game teaches them progressively. But that didn't stop me from getting to the end of the game and really enjoying myself. So well done :D

It was a great game. VFX, SFX, music and controls - all is incredible. One thing that sometimes it's just impossible to dodge some projectiles.

Developer

Thank you very much! :D

The VFXs are so cool and it feels good to hit and run, also the parry is rewarding.

Great game!!

Thanks a lot for playing! :D

Stunning visuals and really fun gameplay. Last couple bosses put up quite a challenge! Really enjoyed my time with this one. The additional skill that gets unlocked after every boss also keeps things new and interesting every fight which is a huge plus.

Incredible game, with beautiful art direction, and great combat with parry mechanics, it feels really good to play, I also love the patterns of the bosses. The music started by resembling Final Fantasy so it threw me for a loop. Overall this is masterfully done!

Thank you so much for playing! :D

Wow nice clean game with good visuals and impacts. Liked it a lot, simple but satisfying. The dodge did feel pretty unforgiving especially with a few of the attacks but was really fun!

An undeniable masterpiece! I’m absolutely blown away by how incredibly you executed the theme—this is pure madness!! The music, sound design, and visual effects are all top-tier! The tutorial is implemented FLAWLESSLY!! And the boss fight designs are mind-blowing—they are incredibly well-thought-out and dynamic!!

This is one of the best games of the jam, no doubt!! Genius!

Thank you so much! :D

Underrated game so far !! You need to learn and play it a bit at first, then when you have a good handle on it, it's soooo satisfying !! Love the neon style too. Well made game, thank for submitted :D

Developer

Thank you so much! :D

This game is soo goood! It is so well polished! The artwork, boss design and the whole battle mechanics are incredible! I specially liked the dodge + counter mechanics, it feels incredibly satisfying when I hit several counters in a row. I also liked how we gain power ups after defeating the bosses. If I have to say something, maybe we could heal a little bit when we perform an succesful counter? Anyways, it was a great game to play

Developer

Thank you so much! :D

Amazing game, love it. I love how you get new abilities after every boss, that's incredibly satisfying, especially for a Game Jam game. Only complaints I have are nitpicks that aren't really worth mentioning. Can't wait to play more of this game!

I think you made what I was trying to make, but better. This is the best game I've played so far, hands down. The controls are so tight, the sounds and art are top notch. This is outstanding.

Thank you very much for playing!
