This project started a few days before january, and we were extremely excited to have a whole month to work on it, even though we were working full time during the process. We hope you enjoy.

I love the spritework here, the main character especially. The sprite animation plus all the little scaling look great. The combat was ok, but the backswing of the attack and the hard knock down from getting hit both locking you out from doing anything felt really limiting. The spear seemed like it went through the flying mantises sometimes too. The pace around 25-50% flow felt the best to me, and I think some attack combos would be a great addition (maybe doing special combos could build flow faster?) A little more player control will go a long way. This is a really cool demo, and I think it has a lot of potential!
Fun game. The art, animations, sounds are really good.
The controls are very confusing. Better to keep W or space for jump since those are way more intuitive than Q. Similarly shift for dash would be better. Also, it's not clear that you can double jump, I was stuck at some platforms trying to jump then realized that I can double jump by accident.
Hey this was pretty fun! The knockback was very punishing though! Have a look at my video review! 1:16:08 Novissime Rex
Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed :) Yes we do plan to reduce the hitstun and possibly add in a few invincibility frames when getting hit. I really appreciate the feedback.
I also enjoyed the video, one thing I also plan to work on and improve is introducing the controls. All the weird button controls like A B X and Y were referring to controller support, and you can attack upwards and downwards too by holding WASD keys in the direction you want to attack, these are briefly mentioned in the controls screen but they were not adequately explained.
