Really cool game, good stuff! I think I'd want the shielding mechanic to be less forgiving though as I'd just spam it when an enemy would attack instead of really properly timing it. By the time I got to the the third boss I beat him on my first try because of this, not really a bad thing but I just feel it should be more of a risk for the reward given. I also think it would've been cool to focus more on that exchange and maybe make it required to defeat bosses. Other then that though this game was so awesome, visually I love it and I played on a controller which felt great. This should be one of the top games for sure.

Interesting to hear your take on the shield and I agree. That still sounds fair for the player. I guess a bit more knockback, animation that locks the player and slightly more damage could be the trick. Also I do find the third boss lacking as well, but usual reason is just lack of time, I slapped him altogether in just 3 hrs lol. As a spoiler, he has magic moves that I didn't include as it wasn't as polished. Also thanks for trying it with a controller, nice to know it's playable that way for others 😄
