Very nice first project. I believe you can continue to make some really cool stuff in the future! I liked the movement quite a lot, and the overall atmosphere with the music was very well done. Some feedback I could give would be definitely to make the slash more impactful. You can do this by making the smear way more pronounced and having more recovery frames rather than having a lot of start up, as in game it did feel quite awkward and heavy (slash should be earlier basically lmao). Apart from that, I think a background, however basic would've been a nice addition instead of navy blue throughout. I also wish I could hit the bullets with my sword haha. Would've made the blue guys a lot less of a pain to deal with. Overall, very nice and well done! Was pretty fun :D

Thanks for the comment and your feedback! I also felt at first that the slash took too long to wind up, but I never had the idea of shortening it and adding recovery frames after, which definitely would have felt more like the way I originally wanted it to. I did want to have a proper background, but I still don't have enough experience in art and programming to put in the same amount of work in the 2 areas, meaning I had to put more effort into coding to actually get the game done. When I originally planned out my game, I was actually thinking of making a block/parry mechanic for the bullets! However, I had to shorten my scope in order to finish the game in a week. Thanks again for playing, your feedback is really beneficial!
