Well after few tries and thinking I got hard locked and then thinking there were only two levels, I won...

Loved the art style. Very nice minimalistic pixel art and the feedback to everything was spot on! And something that can't be said from all the games made on jams (solo especially), the colour palette was very pleasant to look at. The sound effects also did their work and didn't even get annoyingly repetitive (as these simple bleeps and bloops often do) even though I think there was no real variety. Of course adding music would have brought it to another level!

There were quite a few some weird physics issues like depicted below. Also the throw direction was not too accurate and the bounces were sometimes weird and unrealistic. The blade also didn't hurt enemies always.

Other than those weirdnesses, the controls were tight and nicely responsive. I took me ages to realize that the character is more mobile without the sword and tried to bank shot my way through the second level for quite some time. Adding such information to the game itself (when needed too) along with giving the controls there too would have been the icing on the cake.

The sword swing was pointless too. The throwing mechanic completely overshadowed it by being as powerful, having more range and being way less risky too.

The final level was a bit punishing by not giving any time to think and having to plan your strategy by failing few times. And the fact that the dying completely halted the progress didn't help here either. But still really would have wanted to see more content. I guess that is a good sign though... 🤷‍♀️

Anyways, good job! 👍

Great concept, but sadly my low-end PC cannot handle it. It’s a Unity Browser Game, so there is lag, so I think some frames are been skipped. These frames probably also handle the input holding so my jump is not high enough to pass through level 2 (even without the blade).

I liked the enemy design. I agree with what “rowan pippin” said:

I wish landing on top of an enemy also killed them, because that feels natural?

It probably feels natural because there are no spikes on top and there aren’t hazards with the same color as them before they show up. The latter would make the player think “so black with red dots is bad” and they would not touch it.

Also, thanks for reviewing my game Tooongue.

I enjoyed the fast pace action - a few times, it wouldn't do anything after I cleared the levle.

This is very polished! I really liked the sounds and animations, they felt so fluid. And the game has so much potential. Congrats on finishing on time as a solo dev! 

The controls are kind of a pain, especially being in browser - I kept accidentally clicking outside of the game window, which then would cause Space to make my browser scroll, or right click to open a dropdown menu instead. Still, the mechanics are satisfying and the puzzle-aspect of order-of-actions is challenging while still being fun. The sounds and visuals are fitting for the gameplay style. I wasn't able to get past the first level yet, but I'm definitely going to give this another go later.  I wish landing on top of an enemy also killed them, because that feels natural? I accidentally died when jumping off a cliff to come attack an enemy and landed on top of it instead, resetting the level, which was frustrating. 

Wow, what a fun game! Too bad it doesn't have any cover image, because this is awesome! Yes, there are bugs, but if you can fix those this will be a really cool game! The concept is great, the theme is good, and the art is super! Throwing the sword is so cool, if you can make it so that it can collide with multiple enemies, that would make it so much fun!
