• This was a simple but fantastic experience. The unique hand-drawn pixel art style is outstanding, and the use and placement of sound effects were grandiose. I really liked the old-school dialogue box and interface. However, while hilarious, the use of the sad trombone for the game-over screen was a bit much (probably because I heard it too often, thanks to my game website reviewer-worthy gamer skills). One area for improvement—or at least something I wish had been included—is the option to fast-forward text for faster readers. Additionally, a button to decelerate the sword (perhaps by holding Ctrl) would have been nice, though I can understand if it would be intentionally left out for added difficulty. Your GDD is well-structured and covers all necessary details, but it could benefit from a few more images—particularly to illustrate specific mechanics, which could be visualized using gifs. Overall, I had a lot of fun playing the game and would love to see it further developed with additional levels and other gameplay gimmicks. Keep up the great work!
