Fun and engaging! Parry windows are very wide yet the chaos and many objects make the game challenging! I realli like this exta card in the deck game
Thanks for playing! yeah getting that extra card is quite something ;)
The audio and the parry mechanics are phenomenal. I think I am no longer like those 52 other cards now. My strategy was to move to a corner and be focused on the timers rather than evasion because the parry can take care of any damage (it might be useful to force the player to move at times). The groove is something else.
glad you liked the groove! yeah that's a small balance issue, basically i didn't shorten the iframes you get from parrying at higher tempos meaning the beat after parrying can't hurt you at higher tempos, so effectively only beat 3 and 4 can hurt you. nice job beating it ;) thanks for playing!
Very forgiving to learn the ruleset and get into the groove. Good job. One thing I think would have helped me is if my parry bar followed my character instead of sat in the bottom of the screen, like a ring around me instead of having to glance.
Thanks for playing! that's actually a good idea, I don't know why I didn't think if that. :0
Short but VERY sweet arcade game! Took me a sec to figure out what was happening but after I did, I had a bunch of fun!
If this were on Steam I would buy it for sure! :D
Parrying is top 5 game mechanics oat
The audio was fire and it was really fun redirecting the spade lasers at Jestro. One of my favorite games from this jam
This game is really cool! I like how polished the menu feels! The battle also feels really epic! It took me a little bit to figure out, but once I did it was a lot of fun!
Super satisfying and fantastic art style!!! Also the music is sooooo good. You absolutely cooked here!!!
Really great game, getting a successful parry is so satisfying. I think some post proccesing will make the game look even better. But still amazing work!
Love the incremental speed and difficulty. As someone who played a decent amount of For Honor (I can't remember the other good titles with parry xD), timing games are a treat. also the music with it? fantastic!
Incredibly polished and fun! Amazing stuff, it really makes you feels like the 53rd card 😎 congrats!!
Fun and super challenging! I will have to train my reflexes a bit more.
it's a very juicy game! I loved it, great work!
It feels very fun to play!
I really enjoyed this game. Very creative!
I was desperately looking for a rhythm game in this game jam, and I finally found my favorite one!
You suggested playing in full screen, but that caused an audio issue for me. It worked fine when I wasn't in full-screen mode, though.
Thank you! Sorry about the audio, FMOD doesn't like to cooperate with WebGl sometimes. I spent a while getting it to behave but it's definitely not perfect. Glad you got it working though!
Had me reminiscences of a certain crypt ahah. Very good job !
Okay. Bro, where do I even start with this game.
First off, amazing work. Absolutely amazing work.
The artwork, the jumpy, juicy movement to everything. It is absolutely mesmerising and delicious.
The arrangement of attacks and how they create a work of art of lasers and jester.
And I leave the best thing for last. The music is blasting, top of the chart. I have never seen anything (in this jam) with more impressive music than this one. 10/10 for the music.
If I have to leave with at least a criticism, I would say that once you know that you can stand still and just parry, the game became a bit more methodical for me, rather than just trying to go around and dodge. Again, this can be something you intended.
Once again, great work :DD!
Thanks for the nice review! I'm glad you had fun!
I beat Jestro on the first try 😎. Very chaotic game with an interesting parry mechanic.
Super satisfying gameplay and really cool mechanics! I enjoyed this a lot. It gets pretty overwhelming in the harder difficulties haha. Awesome game!
The main menu screen alone deserves a high rating - look at it bounce!

Thanks for playing! I spent way to much time on the menu lol glad you liked it.
Love the game so much, it really satisfied my inner needs. I grasped the mechanic mid game and when i did it was so satisfying. The only thing I want from this game is MORE ! The game really played all its cards, some would say 53rd card 😉
Ahhh I see what you did there... Thanks for playing I'm glad you liked it!
