Good background on the game page, I liked the music and retro style! but the game is very difficult to play due to the fact that the life bar ends quickly, and the light returns to its original value as soon as you release the spacebar

Well done for making the game! Liked the pixel art and backstory, and the BGM was intense, but there are also things to be improved:

  • Enemies appeared to instakill me, so the health bar was functionally the same as a light bar.
  • The grass sprites and UI were a bit blurry on my display.
  • 2.5d gave retro vibes, but it was hard to tell how far away the enemies were. I think you can change their colour or add an overhead view to make it clear.
  • Switching perspectives by 90 degrees at a time felt jarring to me. I’d prefer a smooth camera.
  • It was really hard to see where the enemies were coming, and swing the weapon in time. You could add difficulty settings so new players like me can enjoy it as much as you can ;)
  • I think you included some debug info, which makes the zip unnecessarily large and increases download times.
