Thanks Em Kyla :)
That's the feel i was aiming for gameplay wise, and threw in a tiny hint of strider because i didn't feel confident pulling off a similar complex saber combo system like in the X /Zero games, especially in a jam context XD
Funny that you bring such a concept up cause i would totally like to make something in this vein in the longrun on my gamedev journey at some point :D
yeah controls need some work, i've made them a bit too direct and basic but i'll try to improve that, i've been doing a bit more top down stuff lately so this also did not help me going back into platformer controls after not doing them for a bit of time :p
Yeah having played such games back in the day, i always try to ben a bit more generous cause i think in most cases when games did this back then it was really artificially increasing the difficulty, probably cause most of the older stuff was for a time using arcade as a base model for difficulty. That being said i also totally screwed up my difficulty balance when it comes to enemies i'll admit ^^'
Still, glad you had a good time even with all the rough spots my game has :D
