Wow, this is good. I love the music a LOT.
very clean game, took my time to understand the timing and controls but good job!!
Nice, zippy little arcade game. Good work
Excellent title, wonderful movement in-game, great timing challenge! I love how zippy the lil guy is and how satisfying the sword hits are.
Extremely fun arcade-style game. Having the floor spikes be the first obstacle was probably a bad idea since they're the most challenging, but once you really click with their timing the game starts really moving. Was really hoping for a ton of obstacle variety and I got it.
Will definitely play this more, lmao. Great job!
Obscenely fun, managed to hit 125. I've got the tune stuck in my head and I'm not even upset, banger.
Super fun game! Best I could do was 32, perhaps there's more hazards but I couldn't reach them lol. But the 2 hazards that got introduced as time went one were really cool, was not expecting an orbital laser XD
I really wish the attack button was something else, or was mapped to multiple inputs, as it's really awkward to press, but otherwise this is a great game. Really fun gameplay, simple to understand but tricky to play well. I really like how spikes and the laser also affect enemies and not just you. This is just a good time. Great work!
Nice and simple. Do wish the spike were a little bit more forgiving. ik there is an indicator but sometimes i just miss it
probably a skill issue
Satisfying game, made it to 14 a couple of times :).
The character animations look super cool, the environments are gorgeous, and the combat feedback feels amazing! This is such a polished game. Just one small thing—and maybe it’s just me—but it feels like falling speed increases after swinging the sword in mid-air.
We would be super honored if you gave our GMTK Jam entry a try as well!

Pretty fun. Good sprites and intense music.
Things got a lot easier after I realised that I can use my sword :)
Very fluid and intuitive gameplay!
Made it to 6, game was a lot easier when I found the sword button (x), but I wouldn't have known to mash to find that button if it wasn't for the title
sorry, will add some controls to the page! I've had an insane fever and in my delirium just forgot to add
