I’ve always wanted to try making one of these directional attack systems. Now maybe this is personal preference, but for me it’s way more intuitive to hold down the attack button to direct the swing (I like that you have both the mouse and move keys direct it, though I’d prefer just mouse) and then release it to actually attack. Especially when the attacks have so much wind up and follow through.
Fighting so many enemies at once gets very tricky when they seem to have more reach than you do. I immediately want to try and cheese them somehow by funneling them in so they can’t surround me but I only played for a couple of minutes and the level just looked like connected boxes with no chokes or obstacles.
Linux version is always appreciated, worked fine.
I don’t like the faceted art-style, but I know a lot of people do. And at least it’s simple and keeps your file size down.
