Really fun game! Reminded me of final fantasy 14 boss fights with the area denial and positioning and Sekiro with the timing of blocks, which gives the game a really nice rhythm element, also the visuals are great and SFX pair really well with the game, sound track is a banger too! Great game! Oh and the stats screen after your run telling you how many phases you got through, how many hits you took and how long you took is a great touch that aids re-playability but also shows you how close you were to winning when you lose, making you want to try again, great stuff!

Super cool! Made it throught after 2 tries. Very fun and a lot of potential. Nothing negative to tell. Excellent game!

Made it through after a few tries. Very fun and satisfying to master. Great work!

This game is amazing and very creative regarding the theme! 
Nothing negative to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the mechanics, and controls were fine.

The last stage is challenging but still easily beatable.  The different level patterns and evolving difficulty was really nice, and the simple mechanics being unveiled naturally is appreciated.  Hopping right into the action without it becoming punishing or overwhelming is appreciated.

Couldn't get past the first attack lol but the game is super cool! Well done

Stage 5 is diabolical! I needed a couple of runs to really get to grips with it and internalise the rules, but once I was up and running this was absolutely brilliant. Love the ultra-fast pace and range of different rounds, and the added challenge of accounting for the movement of the clock itself works really well.

The narrative is great - I adored the stony-faced reaction shots from the knight!

could not ascend to the 5th dimension to flowstate the game but it was really cool as a concept! just ramps up in difficulty really rapidly which takes insane micro! I caught a few glimpses of it though, and it was quite satisfying. Very responsive and tight controls.

Game is really fun! Amazing sound, sick almost Fury-esque boss battle gameplay, only complaint really is the lack/shortage of iframes (getting double/triple hit by the same attack kinda sucks when it happens)

Would definitely play more of this

Super nice! I'd love for a full version for an even tighter combat system :3

Really interesting idea. Love the bossfight on a clock idea.

Only issue was that I had a real hard time with dodge. I always felt like I would roll too far for it to be useful, so if I did dodge I'd wind up taking more damage than if I'd just eaten the hit. I found myself just walking around purple stuff all the time. (But that may just be a 'skill issue')

Super fun. But it is abit many actions to me in early game, it would be nice that in early game, we just have to attack and later on combine with block then dash. I have hard time to use 3 action in very early tension xD. Very good game, congratulation!

The final phase is so tough 🤣 The clock battlefield is super interesting!

fun little boss fight that felt great to play. I really hated the control scheme though I'm sorry man other then that it was all great

Submitted(+1)

very interesting concept! Once I tried reading for once and understood the mechanics, it was a lot of fun dodging and blocking all of the attacks as I was fighting the clock. great work!

Submitted(+1)

really heard game but so pretty good. your artstyle is really appealing and the game feels like a final boss

Submitted(+1)

great game ! Would be perfect if you improve the art

Submitted(+1)

WOW, I love the visuals, the polish, and such an incredible gameplay hook.

Amazing work, my favorite game from the jam so far.
