Honestly, what a incredibly fun game! The music is nice and the sound effects are crunchy and satisfying! The visual effects also give nice feedback for the entire process of the battle!
The gameplay is so simple and yet it's so well put together that it's inevitably fun!
The only tiny piece of feedback is, the perfect timing is during the enemy's swing. As the warning flash is fading away and the enemy is about to swing, if I put my shield up in this moment, I take damage. Wouldn't it make more sense that my character would block that instead? Considering that I'm putting my shield up too early instead of late?
Nevertheless, when you get the timing down, it's super super super fun. It's got no glitches and the character feels reliable to control, which is important for a game like this.
I really enjoyed this one. Great work!
