Oh my god this game is really awesome and it's also such an immersive experience. This is probably one of my favorite games so far and it truly deserves more recognition in the jam. First of all, the music is really good, probably my favorite aspect of the game, it's both catchy and allows the player to get into the world of the game. Another aspect I like is the presentation, I really like the simple style and the minimalistic approach with the color palettes, it gives the game a more unique aspect. I really had a lot of fun playing the game and I would love to play a full version of this game as there is a lot of potential in this entry. Probably my only complain would be the utilization of the theme, as I'd wish it was implemented more into the gameplay, but to be honest, the overall quality of the entry is so good that I still have to congratulate you for such an amazing experience. I hope more people get to play this game as it deserves way more attention!

I'm always very happy to know when players can immerse themselves into my games, thank you so much for the kind words and sharing your experience ^^
Original idea for the theme was having the player switch between "gun mode" and "sword mode", and I've spent the first few jam days on it, but unfortunately couldn't make it work. As a result, theme utilization definitely feels like an afterthought somewhat, though I did add extra flavors such as dialogue to each playable mode so it doesn't just feel like enemies, numbers and win conditions were shifted around (I hope it doesn't :p).
I'd like to complete the other 2 levels and expand on the game modes after the jam, though still unsure on how much more time I want to spend on Rotschwert as there's still a main project awaiting completion ^^'
