Cool concept with the combat, I just feel it might not be fully clear where your swords needs to be to block attack. Another thing that enemies overlapping each other overlap each other’s attack bar and you get hit without seeing a bar loading, drawing them over top of each outer would be a better choice for clearer game visibility!

Lovely chonky pixel art, and interesting game design otherwise, well done!

Neat concept! Took a bit of time to figure out how all the mechanics work, but once i did i killed the litch first try. In my opinion the combat is a bit too simple, cool music tho!

Interesting idea. Struggled a bit with the bars overlapping sometimes, but I could see this work in a longer from with some more polish!

Great concept! I figured out where to block hits eventually. More feedback on attack or block would definitely make the game more fun! These games typically need a lot of animation to be clear... but potential is there!

Love the art style  and concept in this but I agree with Laserbean, It needs some chonky feedback on the weapon swings to signify damage done and trigger the happy brain-juice :)

Thank you, I'm definitely better at my art then coding. i did update the game to make it a bit juicer. Would love to hear if it's any better if you have the free time to try it.

I'm consistently dying in the second area, generally when they are 4 enemies and I've never managed to get past these ones so far.

Unfortunately I've been unable to determine with any precision where to place the sword to succesfully block, or successfully hit for the matter, and I'm not getting any better at the game as I try again, still often get hit with a single enemy on the screen because I don't know where to go which is a bit frustrating.

The game is gorgeous, especially the environments, the music fits and otherwise the difficulty is good, the health bars, speeds and amount of enemies are adequate and I'm having some fun trying my best.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for the feedback. I've made some updates to the game, if you have the time please let me know if it's any easier to play.

Yep! I beat the lich, it was pretty great!

It's hard to tell what is going on cause there is no feedback other than the sword moving when i click. It's easy to add at least a screen shake or screen flash with the "effect.flash" or "effect.screen_shake"
Great concept though. I've always wanted to make a similar game.

Thanks for the feedback. I found the screen shake and added it to getting hit and blocking, it definitely helps sell taking a hit. I also added some more things feedback related if you have the free time to check it out. would love to hear if i applied it correctly.
