As others have mentioned, the parrying thing was a bit difficult for me to achieve as well. Couldn’t manage to kill even a single zombie. That being said, I did like the art work and the music of the game. The dash mechanism worked great as well. Just needs a bit of polishing for the parry mechanics, that’s it! Great effort though!

The parry-mechanic is ass. Even after reading how 'tis supposed to be done I didn't manage to trigger it a single time. If it has some kind of an indicator of it succeeding, I wasn't able to see it. If there isn't an indicator of it landing, THIS GAME REALLY WOULD HAVE NEEDED SOME
Considering it is the main mechanic and gimmick of this game, this game is night unplayable when its main mechanic cannot be executed properly. Which is a crying shame since I enjoy games like these

Void ReaperI enjoyed the concept but the parry mechanic was a bit too difficult for me to utilize. Instead of just changing colors for when an enemy attacks, it would be nice if the color like filled up or something to help give a visual indicator for when the enemy is attacking instead of just where. I think if you add in better visuals and balance the game a bit then it will be more enjoyable!

Everything in its PlaceI like the mechanics and gameplay, its a really cool concept. However, the parry window is a bit too punishing for new players, they might rage quit before mastering the mechanic, besides from that, the game is great, it has a lot of potential with some more tweaks!
