The art style of this game is absolutely fantastic! The game is a bit slow at the beginning, but as soon as you get upgrades like attack speed it get a lot more fun. I would suggest to add some sound when you collect orbs to make it pop a little more. Great job!

Developer

Thank you! I did add a small pop sound upon picking up the souls but it was too low that even I can't hear it now lol.

This is a well-built game; you did great work! The art is amazing, and while the combat is a bit slow, it’s manageable. The upgrades are excellent, but the dash could use some adjustment—it should move you back more consistently. I found myself stepping back to dash, only to dash right into the monsters. Overall, you did an amazing job on this game!

Developer

Thank you! You are absolutely correct, my initial thought was to use it as a tool for area clearing but it should have been a way to dodge instead and should have worked with your movement input! Thank you  for the feedback!

Great gameplay loop with very clean animations and art. Fun to play and feels super cohesive especially for a game jam! Conan the Barbarian's favorite game in the jam by far I am told.

Developer

Thank you! I was sure he'd like it lol!

They are few games when you slash something you feeling it... This game has that excellent game feel. Not just that but the atmosphere and everything make you feel there. Its a nice experience.

Really like the art style! The combat mechanics feel great, and slicing through enemies feels powerful. The sound effects were really nice and fit well with the gameplay and visuals.

Awesome job!

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm not really a game dev, I usually do the art for media and games, but I'm so happy you liked the gameplay as well!

Controls and visuals have a nice feeling to them. This may work great as a combat system. Very nice!

Thank you so much! I will try to improve in future jams, but I'm happy with my first jam.

Simple but stunning visuals. I really liked the animations! That swing, slice, and powerful kick were all truly satisfying. And good call to make the pillars transparent when you're behind them as well. Good stuff!

Thanks a lot! I'm happy you liked the visuals.

It takes a while to level up. The concept of getting overpowered is met. Great game!

Developer

You are right! I didn't really think enough on EXP gain, but I'm glad you liked it!
