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.
Thanks for playing; I appreciate the feedback! Sorry the controls were tough to work around in the browser, and the enemy design did not sufficiently portray its function. I will definitely keep that in mind for the future!
The weapon throwing feels really good, and it's so satisfying to catch it after it bounces off of an enemy. It's kind of a pity that the regular attack isn't very good, because I really like the animation of it
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!
Awesome! Glad you liked it! Certainly considering finishing and ironing out this project because I had a lot of fun making it!
