Game's Take on the Theme
Spin your sword (with your mouse) to multiply your damage
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
I made the art, the songs I did not make (Credited in game and on home page)

I love to see when people take the theme directly to the character controls! Really loved the cool vibe when moving the mouse around like a crazy man to increase the level of the sword.
I'll probably work a little bit to let the player know when a boss can block their attacks (I see you second boss), and probably forward more to enter into the combats.
Really nice submission, and the SFX slider destroyed my inner ear xD (probably a cooldown for the sound will be a fast fix)
What a fun mechanic. Playing it on trackpad made it a bit easy I think. I also like the bosses. Great job.
The spinning sword mechanic is really cool, but it makes my hand pretty tired too, haha! I think maybe it will be great if the sword can damage the target while spinning. I liked the dungeon mechanics, and the story is quite interesting too! Well done!
Fun game! We love the music and the art style! GG 🌻🖤
This was fun :D The mechanic of charging your attacks by spinning was cool and the vfx for it looked nice. I also appreciated not having to do full 360 turns around the character but just side to side movements seemed to do the trick, made it simpler to play. The story was funny and nice addition as well. Good job!
Really loved the take on the theme, the lore behind the game, and that map system! I think this was a really great game overall!!
(if you're willing to I'd love it if you give me feedback and rate my game as well! : ) )
Loved the lore, and the build up, you got a good training grounds. I had difficulty with the controls and building up the sword. Other than there I think you have a great game! Congrats on submission. Feel free try try our game if you like!
Impressed by the game's introduction—it does a great job of immersion! The mechanics are fun, and while there are some balance issues, the game is still enjoyable (which is the most important thing). I really liked it, great work!
Good music with action. Everyone likes sword fights.
Game is really cool. Has some flows with the balance. I cheesed the first boss with holding attack button, my sword was too long to him. The others made me sweat. I loved random upgrades you get in each room. Visuals are not that great, but gameplay is very fun.
I like the spinning mechanic, i think its easy and fun like this, the intro adds deptjh top the game, also the background i think could be a bit lighter to produce more contrast but it may be just me, I rate graphics and fun on top, but i like everything, also if you have some time, please rate my game too, thanks!!
game is simple and interesting.
It seems to me that something is broken if you run it in low resolution. I can't complete the tutorial. Screenshot attached
The art is really cool and so the story is.
My mouse is screaming, but i really enjoy it.
Good job dude.
I really liked the mechanic of the game! I agree with what hackersgame had to say about the small area, and even maybe using the arrow keys to make it spin around kind of like dome keeper! Overall, I enjoyed the game and I hope you keep on working on it!
I liked your art, the map, the bosses, the story, your game is very fun and original nice work
Briiiight eyes~XD. I had a lot of fun playing this! The controls are simple, and I really like the idea of spinning the mouse around to accumulate charges. Game is quick paced and keeps me on my toes. There's definitely some polishing that needs to be done, but I guess that's already in the pipeline. Overall, the theme was well captured! Congrats on a game well made!
Really fun, only critique is the controls were a bit hard to use. I'd suggest having a small area where your mouse is kept within, so that circling is relative to the bound mouse instead of where the player is located on the screen. Just to make it easier to control. Overall well done!
You did an amazing job on the art and story! It was super fun to play and the tutorial was easy to follow.
