Nice little game. I'm constantly ending up going back-first, which is strategic at all and not the most elegant way to die.

Why did you add the mouse into the controls? Would it have been buttons-only it had give me much more control over my movements.

Apart from that: Well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing, :) I think providing both mouse or keyboard would be a good addition. Thanks for the idea.

The sound effects were quite funny. :)

Developer

Thank you for playing, I am glad you liked the sound effects, the sword sound is based off of me making a swoosh sound :)

Nice concept. I can’t stop laughing at the hit sound effect.

Developer

Thank you for playing, the death sound effect is a heavy modified recording of my daughter. :)

Couldn't get past round 10, those big guys are tough! I think a block or dodging feature would've been nice to avoid being one-shotted off the bat, or maybe I just suck lol. Anyways good game, it was fun and challenging!

Developer

Thank you for playing and the feedback, I think a dodge makes sense and should be added in a future version.
