Description of your game.
Sometimes we have to face through a lot of hardship and rejection before we reach our end goal. Sometimes, even after all that, the end goal is not what we had in mind. But that doesn't mean it was all for nothing. Failure is a delay, not a defeat.

I has some fun mechanics, but I am not good at this sort of thing so didn't get far :( Visually I thought it was great! :)
Visually excellent game, the story was a nice touch and I liked the running commentary as you played. Being a noob, I found the parry a bit too tricky to pull off, so didn't get very far. A+ would ninja again!
Thank you for playing. I am currently working on balancing the difficulty of this game as I have received similar feedback.
The current changes I am working on are:
1. Increasing projectile size
2. Making missing a parry less punishing
3. Allowing story/gameplay to progress even if the player chooses to jump over every projectile.
Stay tuned for the version-2.0 👍

I really like the art. The background and speaker portraits are gorgeous. I wish the projectile was a bit bigger as it gets really lost on the page. I'm not sure what all your vug impacts but the parry for white projectiles doesn't work for me. When I just jump over all the projectiles the dialog just loops and the story doesn't progress.
Hey, thank you for your playing. Below is a short video showcasing how the game is intended to work.
I will increase the projectile size in the next release as you suggested and look into designing a new mechanic that prevents the player from endlessly jumping over bullets. Thank you for your feedback. ✌️
