The parry in this game works well once you get it down! I was able to consistently parry every attack from the first boss.
However when I got to 'Spin the blade to know your fate' I think the game froze. No matter what I did I couldn't figure out how to progress. The dash also does not work if you are holding down a movement key, I think the normal movement overrides it. Due to this I never used the dash to dodge but I did get good at parrying!
Awesome job I can't wait to see more!
