Great job here! The art is really awesome, especially the different attack effects. The gameplay is really interesting and unique too. I like how different enemies have different attack patterns that hit different areas and sometimes on different parts of the beat. The centaur enemies were a little bit annoying to fight though, not just because they were hard but it felt like you could only get in 1 hit across their entire loop which was frustrating. I also noticed the attack sfx were not quite aligned with the animations. But other than that this was great!

Funny game. There is work on the characters. Without doubt, I did not understand all the mechanics of the controls. Nevertheless it is a good job.

Quite a cool little game. Potential for expansion into something bigger but works well as is. Great job!
