What a weird name... Ichorous?! What kind of guy comes up with this?
Simply amazing game. Classic platformer combat action.
Can't say anything about the art and audio, except that they're great. Sounds are a little bit lacking, and can sometimes cut out, but the bosses telegraph well visually, so that is a good-to-have not a need to, in this case.
I'd really love some kind of skip dialog feature, when I inevitably get my ass handed to me, or want to replay the game.
Loved the boss design, and had a blast fighting them, the final boss is a treat, once you get his pattern down.
The second boss - specifically his second phase - is a bit annoying, since it's really obvious where you have your windows of attack.
The purity system is a tad hard to get at the start, but is a very very VERY nice mechanic, that also functions as a player controlled difficulty, and brings longer term consequences to your actions.
A must play. 5/7
P.S.: I did what you asked, please don't send the Jersey Devil after me, I'm begging you
P.P.S.: Could you ask your artist what type of swords inspired him, in his design?
