Super fun and addictive! I had to lose a few rounds before I could figure out how the parry mechanic worked, but it's a great game. I'm glad you left the choice to turn the shader on/off because it looks prettier with the shader turned off
What a game! that is excellent! well done, loved everything about it
Deceptively deep mechanic around timing and blocking vs attacking, with slick polished presentation. Could go further by having various opponents with different weapons that have attacking/blocking moves. :)
I oddly liked this. Samurai Iaido meets western quick-draw is a really creative concept. I immediately died on my first try and was confused by the prompt. "...hat? what hat?". Then I started winning and the joke made me chuckle. Plopping the losers' hat on my own was a wacky hilarious touch!
I like the attention to detail! The sunset pixel sprite bg, the CRT shader, and the attack and block animations were very well executed. The gameplay though simple, was no slouch either. I had thought that all i had to do was spam clicks after hearing the start, but the enemy blocking threw me off. I realised then that blocking too was essential.
Charming, impressive entry. I liked this a lot!
An addictive game with simple game play that increases in difficulty, challenging the player. Very well polished with a nice menu system, graphics, sound, and music.
nooo my hats! I had six before I was cut down. Simple game play that is well polished with great art. Fantastic work!
5/5 Fun. Love the reaction mechanic.
I think this is a really really good game, like I think you should try to publish it on steam or a mobile app store. It's super simple but really fun and addictive. Congrats!!
i really like this type of showdown games , and more if its about samurai
I liked the mechanic a lot, the visual feedback on the progress is great (hats). Cool game!
If you have time, I would really like to hear your thoughts on our game and get your rating ;)
Cool Game I love the idea of it
this was a lot of fun, I love the intense one strike feel, it reminds me of the fighting game one strike and I love that game
This game looks really cool, I like the filter? effect on the screen. Great pixel art. Really cool background, liked that you added the bird flying around. Very cohesive theme between the SFX and art style. Its funny that you keep getting hats the more you win, very cute. I like that it caught me cheating when I tried to just hold block! Good programming. The gameplay is just solid, simple, and fun. This is a great game!
It's great to see when simple mechanics translate to so much fun. Everything felt nicely polished, especially the art assets. Great job!
Great idea and game all around. Every aspect is top notch.
Great Game, I loved The Art Style
Great game at first I didnt realise how much you had going on, this was a really well thought out project.
10.1 / 10
