Very interesting take on the theme, I like it! My first 3 tries I was really bad and was dying to the first group of samurais but then I started swinging my sword wildly and to my delight that was much more effective at holding the enemies back haha. I saw on your game page you mentioned this was your first foray into inverse kinematics. Good for you as I've still been too intimated to try to understand that. The low poly art style fit the game well.
Great work!
