i really liked the writing, it looks like lots of thought was put to it, the fighting gameplay was simple, would like to see special movesets. a good game overall
Interesting game! I enjoy a good ol samurai game. Combat was odd, I think if you mentioned in the game description about clicking on him like whack-a-mole it would help :)
Love ninja-themed games, so I like the direction it is going in. Not bad for a prototype! Although I was kinda clueless in the battle sequence as I wasn't sure what to press or click.
I like the fighting mechanic having to block and attack at the same time was cool little clunky but a good idea.
I liked the pixel art the old man especially was really good.
Thanks for playing! The artwork is from this free sprite asset pack https://xzany.itch.io/samurai-2d-pixel-art. Yeah, in the future, I want to properly refine the gameplay. I had to rewrite the battle script three times, and only after I realised it was way too easy and didn't achieve what I had originally planned. Then I saw the time running out and decided to release it anyway, and I am now hopefully planning to fix it on a later date after the jam. Excited to check your game out later tonight or early tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, I had so many problems with this combat; there were so many glitches. I was trying to do something similar to Whac-A-Mole, and then after the stamina bar or something is full you have the ability to attack. The main issue was the timing of the block and everything. Hopefully, in the future, I manage to figure it out.
Story telling is super cool, really enjoyed it. Didnt really understand the fighting but thats prolly bc im dumb. Good game!
Having a more story focused entry was an awesome idea! Well done~!
