Amazing game, very well put together.
The web version was buggy for me, in terms of not expanding the screen when I toggle full-screen, but the game is very readable, so I didn't have that affect gameplay.
Charming art style with fitting music and sound effects, and super juicy with a lot of audio and visual feedback.
Controls feel on point.
Some hits I took felt unfair, but maybe that was because I was cutting it too close with dodging or too quick on the approach after the attack was finished.
I didn't really feel that the exchange mechanic affected the gameplay. Other than the range, there seems to be no difference between the staff and the sword.
All in all, had a fun time with it.
