I appreciate it! Thanks for playing!

I loved this one... Until I realized you can dodge the diagonal slashes by just holding down, instead of down+left or right. If you guys made it that way it would've been incredibly fun.

The jump I found to be pretty much impossible to react to on hard mode when the other slashes were still very much managable. I would add maybe a tenth or two tenths of a second more to the jump reaction time.

Love the artstyle, music, and sound. Amazing job overall with this!

I do agree with you on that. While it makes sense that dodging down would work for diagonal slashes, it does make dodging diagonally less necessary in those situations. I have yet to find a good solution for that.

Interesting, I thought the jump was pretty balanced on hard mode, but that may be because I had to play test it a lot and got used to it. Jumping is a big difficulty factor in this game and it’s meant to be slower than normal dodges, but I’ll definitely look into adjusting it a bit more.

I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the game, and thanks for your feedback!

You can make the trajectories of the diagonal slashes more to the side, so that blade still touches you if you just crouch straight down.

That's true, and I have messed around with their positions a bit. I still haven't found the one where it looks good visually, but I'll keep trying!

This one had me hooked with such a simple concept for a game. Really made me want to master it, but uh... reflexes are not that great on my end. 

Really had fun, the artstyle is sweet and goes hard. Would defs play again.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the game! 

No worries about mastering it! Even I still get tripped up a lot, so you can imagine how tedious playtesting was throughout the development.

Thanks for playing and I hope you'll give it another go once more content is added!

It was one of the most addicting games I've ever played in this jam. Visuals are, just PERFECT! Mechanics are well polished. Love it! Keep up the good work!
