Minimalist graphics! Confidence in design! BLOOD! Strong visual identity and even stronger gameplay. The twist of life drain was a nice touch.
The tutorial was well done though I think the ending was bugged and I had to restart to proceed. A few bugs here and there with hit detection on enemy attacks and my character not dying at an empty life bar but given everything else going on not a bad problem. I do think the 2 kinds of dodge alerts should have their colors changed to be more distinct but they are at least different shapes.
This game is a great example for others that you can achieve great graphics and gameplay in a limited timeframe if you just focus on what matters. I would absolutely come back and play this again if there were more levels or variety!
