I'm stoked that you loved it :D thank you kind stranger, reviews like that make my day <3 I'm sensing there are some things I can improve on animation-wise for sure.  Stay tuned for a post-jam update if you're interested!

Ahh TYSM that's high praise <3 Not sure if you finished the game but if you do I think the AI thing makes more sense because (spoilers) that's covered by the vending machine :) it was certainly a busy 3 days of mostly drawing things lol.  Really appreciate you taking the time to play it ^_^

Thanks so much for playing :D the attack actually is instant - the sword just swings down/backwards before going forwards (and all frames will harm the enemy).  But I seem to be getting about 50/50 comments where people aren't loving/aren't making sense of that so I may go ahead and rework it a bit post-jam.  And you're right attacking doesn't work so well while moving - another thing I'd like to add to address that post-jam is a running attack (think like Cloud's moving attack in SSBU).  Thanks for the feedback though, and I'm glad you still thought the rest of the art was cool ^_^

Another addition to the souls-like genre haha.  I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing ^_^

Thanks for playing fellow gamer!  What was wrong with the animations though?  I haven't heard of (or noticed) any bugs with them o.O

Thanks!  I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway ^_^

Thanks so much for the kind words!  The attack is instant, just visually the character swipes down and back before going forwards - or that's what I was trying for anyway >.> he's meant to be holding the sword backwards.  A couple of people have given similar feedback though so I think maybe it isn't coming across so well in the attack frames.  Oh well!  I wanted to have more interesting attack animations anyway - just got hit by the time constraint so had tried to cover two directions in one!

I'm stoked that you liked it ^_^

Thanks so much!  I'm glad you enjoyed the game and liked the vending machine's personality ^_^ Both new enemies and attacks are something I have high on my wish list so hopefully I can pull together a more advanced cut after the jam :) I had already drawn up and animated an enemy who would fire lasers at you but it turned out that was just a massive waste of time because I didn't have time to implement it >.< I guess that's why people tend to say not to start with the art!

Thanks so much ^_^ Totally agree about the enemies...  I actually had another design drawn up for one that would shoot lasers, but alas, there was no time  u.u  I almost even discarded having a boss battle but I came around after feeling like that would have made the whole experience feel a bit too cheap.

<.<

Thanks for the kind words fellow gamer!  Appreciate the positive vibes and I'm glad you enjoyed <3

I'm stoked you like it :D

Thanks for checking out my game <3  I'm glad you liked the art - it's for sure my favorite part haha.  Just played your game too!

Thanks gamer!  I'll go check out your sub :)

Thanks for the kind words <3  I'm curious what key would you initially have gone for as the interaction key?  I'm stoked you found the difficulty well balanced - it's always tricky to get that part right without much (basically any) play testing!
