For a first game, especially as a solo dev, you did an incredible job! I liked that you included some narration/story. I think the art is actually super nice and makes me nostalgic for the flash browser games I used to play as a kid. The controls were easy to navigate. I don't think I was able to land any parries, each time I swung I seemed to only take damage. But I enjoyed playing. You did an awesome job given the time contraint as well and delivered a game with a solid loop. Well done.
