art, gameplay. all perfect, smooth beautiful. the game is great fun, but please let the music keep going after dying, i heard that intro so many damn times.
I love everything about it except for the noise that plays everytime I die. And I died a lot. Good game though
The platforming was more different than the parrying. Great game!
Really nice game. I liked the artstyle. The flute that played everytime after respawning was a bit annoying tho.
Pretty smart concept. Took me a while to get how to jump over spikes! Great game!
I raged quited xD Thanks for the game ;D
Amazing. The art, the style, the music, the gameplay. I'm not very good at platformers so I struggled (especially on the last level), but it made it all the more satisfying to beat. That music change to include the shamisen as you ascended the last level was sick. And landing multiple of those ground spike parries in a row was very satisfying. I enjoyed playing a lot!
You stole my idea! (kidding) For real though great work! It's a lot of fun, well balanced, and looks great. The art style and especially the parallax background with the reflection are *chef's kiss*. Well done!
The game is fun and the sprites are well done, but the music gets obnoxious fast with how quickly you can die and restart and the loop is rough.
Really fun idea! It took me a bit to figure out I could parry downwards.
My only complaint would be the choice of buttons for the controls being a bit tricky, having a key that could parry in addition to the mouse would've been handy.
actually really fun love the art, parrying was so fun
Fun time, parrying the spikes reminded me of Hollow Knight. Liked the art style
Cool concept and art style but I found game a little bit too difficult. Might be cause I'm bad at platformers :)
Game loop and visuals are highly polished. The gameplay itself is rather difficult and could likely use some larger platforms and smaller gaps. Echoing several other comments from here, the repeated downward parrying from level 4 onward makes it difficult to progress in the game.
Very pretty game and nice movement. Not so nice is the fact that I just got stuck in level 4. :(
You can parry downwards and move sideways at the same time
Great artstyle and presentation! But I have to admit, I died way too many times by missing a jump, way more than the actual combat
I love the concept for this game. Art and music are amazingly done. If only I wasn't garbage at platformers...
do you think the samurai needs glasses after all those glints? I liked it, was fun.
I beat it!!!
NICE!
