How does your game fit the theme?
Dashing too much will make you run out of breath, but wont stop you from dashing again rather make your attacks slower by adding an annoying wait time between attacks, meaning running out of breath doesn't hinder your mobility (important to keep the game fast paced), rather it hinders your melee combat abilities and encourages to sit back and use your gun more, engage in long range battles.

SUPER fun - had to stop after it crashed but love the movement

Oh Yeah! I felt like a combination of Ash form the Evil Dead and some Ninja/Samurai. Environment was really believable. After killing the skeletons I got inside the store, I wondered around a bit, but I assume there was nothing left to do after the skeletons. Still I had an excellent time there. Thank you for the experience

there is actually more stages, but due to a glitch currently in the first stage, if you don't kill all the three skeletons in close proximity to each other the next stage wont load, meaning you need to kill all three skeletons in a short timeframe of maybe 10 or 20 seconds starting from the death of any one of them, before a dead body of one of them disappears, i am extremely sorry for this weird bug, hopefully you will play again and kill all three skeletons to unlock the rest of the game, more details about the bug are in the game description before the controls section, again I am extremely sorry for such an inconvenience and hopefully you can enjoy the game to the fullest!

It looks like there's more content in your screenshot but I couldn't get out of the convenience store area, I like the style and swordplay though

Awesome graphics but the gameplay doesn't really make a lot of sense in relation to the theme. Also when you die they keep attacking and he keeps grunting which makes for some strange soundplay.

I actually integrated a breathing system where you go out of breath if you dash too much consecutively, and your attacks become staggered and slow, but it seems I added too much stamina meaning you rarely go out of breath, unfortunately such a simple balance cannot be fixed seeing as uploads are locked, I even tried to balance between gun combat and melee combat using the breathing system to encourage people to battle from afar more, alas nothing we can do now, thank you for your feedback!

Thats quite a tough conundrum, but it shouldn't be hard to fix it once the jam's period is over and you can upload. I wonder if Live Update is allowed, that would fix this. I think with a better balanced breathing system and good tutorial this could be a really fun and satisfying game!

Thank you, unfortunately uploads are locked during the voting period, but i will surely further polish the game after the jam, thank you for your kind words, they really mean a lot to me!
