• Very novel idea! I really like the concept of creating alternative controls and having the player re-learn what they previously thought was easy! The general concept of the game kind of reminded me of the barrel shooting levels in Donkey Kong Country! I think for me what was difficult about the game was that the controls required a lot of thought and precision for not a lot of reward after getting it right. For example, timing the right button on the spinning blade was really difficult, I had to figure out which axis to rotate on and then hit it at the exact right time. But even after I successfully did that, I didn't really understand how much it would rotate so I still felt like I didn't get rewarded for doing it right. In the end, it felt like the best bang for my buck brain energy-wise was to just spam the rotate buttons and hope that it eventually got in the right direction. Overall I liked how the art was simplistic, the music was catchy and I like the premise. I think for me the control scheme was a touch too obscure, making it difficult to really be able to wield the sword consistently. well. Thanks for the entry and best of luck on your future game dev endeavors!
