Hi, I wanted to try your game but I don't have Windows so unfortunately I can't. Sorry !

No worries! It was my mistake to only publish Windows build (was my 1st jam)

It happens ^^ My friend couldn't play my very first attempt at a game for the very same reason.

This is a really fun game. It was a little hard to figure how the aiming and everything worked but once I got that it was very fun to play.

That game was quite fun, I finished it! The only issue I had was that the targeting system always locked onto the nearest enemy instead of the one I was facing. Other than that, I really enjoyed it. Great job!

The sound effects and animations were good, killing enemies was quite satisfying. However the controls were really confusing, I don't think I ever really got the hang of how to move and direct my attacks where I wanted them to go. The different kinds of attacks didn't feel super distinct either, so I mostly just ended up spamming all of them. With smoother and more intuitive controls I think this could be a very fun little game, since killing enemies in itself was fun.

Honestly you had me at tiny samurai, but the game was also really fun. The combat had solid juice and cutting up the baddies felt surprisingly satisfying, my only comment would be to add some kind of movement option beyond the dash attack, cuz I kept running into scenarios where I was trying to get back to the princess to take out the monsters attacking her but trying to move back there with the dash attack was sometimes tricky depending on where the monsters were. Overall fun game with nice pixel art and a phenomenal 8 bit sound track. I'm a sucker for good 8 bit music I can't lie but you guys found a great theme song.
