Pretty challenging, love visuals and atmosphere. I like shader hit effects but firstly it wasn't clear enough for me that I'm doing right or not. Nice to see osu-like gameplay with new features (clickable and avoidable circles) 
Well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot! We had a lot of fun testing and making the visuals effects :)
Also we will  incorporate a little gameplay guide during the intro after the Game Jam. Thank you for your feedback o/

The concepts are fantastic—the idea of life as one big mechanic, and creating a combat system based entirely on your reflexes and mouse speed.

Very fun and interesting!

Developer

Thank you! :) We tried to make something new - even though it's heavily inspired by Osu - it means a lot to us 🫶

A very challenging game indeed!
I could see myself losing sleep over it!

Personally, I would like an option to switch to a static pointer: while the sword changing positions is very cool, I found it hard to understand where I was moving the mouse at times; other than that, it's a very good game!

Thank you very much o/ Roger that! we'll incorporate that option at the end of the Game Jam, thank you for your feedback

This game really captures that grim fantasy vibe! The music changing to match the character's condition really adds to the tension. I would only say though that the first level is very difficult, and doesn't quite ease you into the mechanics as best it could.

Thank you! We went all out to capture that atmosphere, and it's even more gratifying to know we succeeded with some players :) We'll also modify the challenge difficulty after the end of the Game Jam to balance better the gameplay - thanks for your feedback !

I have mapache hands. This is too hard for me. Fun game either way!

Thank you! We also struggle a bit with it ahah! We do prefer hard games, but after some testing, we will definitely patch later to lessen the number of phases per enemy 🙌

Has to be one of my favorite submissions. The art style is good, the gameplay is engaging, the dreary vibe is soooo up my alley

You really nailed it!

Developer

Thanks a lot! We sought to recreate the old-school-retro-dungeon genre, and it is gratifying to hear that a fan of this style appreciates our game :)

The aesthetic in this is so cool! Love the art style, the interesting lore, the vines closing in when you take damage and the music intensifying- all of it is done super well.

Developer

Thank you so much! We are thrilled to hear that you are fond of our ideas and have noticed the details - That makes our efforts worthwhile ❤️
