Theme interpretation
We wanted to explore an original and new mechanic that would the revolutionize the modern platforming experience. With our moonshot thinking, we developed a highly innovative story about a Cosmic Samurai's adventure to save an extraterrestrial species from extinction due to the Three Body Problem.

Overall, i think that the game is good. To run around as a cosmic samurai, slicing and dicing my way through the levels while swapping places with enemies is a neat concept. I think that with some polishing of the controls and mechanics I would definetly be up for some more samurai space adventures :D
Very innovative mechanic. I think the combat needs some work: I wasn't able to tell when my attacks registered and sometimes I just died when enemies were far away which was kinda confusing. I think the mechanic has great potential tho :-)
We really appreciate the feedback - thanks!
Really nice artwork. The platforming and controls could use some work, though. I hit space at least half the time I wanted to jump. A jump near the beginning seems almost impossible, and I think the hitboxes are a little unintuitive. I also wish the teleport faced you toward the enemy you swapped with. All in all, though, I love the use of the theme, the animations, and the general idea!
Thanks for the feedback!
GAME CONTROLS:
Surprisingly smooth animations and upbeat tunes! If I had a dollar for every time I tried to jump with space though oh boy. A description around how the teleport works would be nice too.
Thanks for your review, we really appreciate the feedback! We'll leave a comment explaining how the teleport works for other players :)
