This is incredible! The vibes are so good. Like others have said, the dodge roll doesn't really seem to do anything other than stop you in your tracks. I would love to see this developed further!

I had a lot of fun playing this. I love the low-poly, low-resolution, low-framerate aesthetic~!

A souls like for a jam is very ambitious. I quite liked the pixel visuals and the main character's design, they really sell a retro feel. I had issues with the dodge roll where it didn't do much, but maybe that's because I was carrying too much. There was also not that much tell for the enemies attack, which made it hard to know the windows of opportunity. I think that's the big thing missing for the combat to click.

Awesome game! I loved the art style and the models for the school + the main character looked great. The map was also a lot bigger than I expected. And also you got the feel of a soulslike down. For example, the forced loss at the start was a cool addition. 

Other than the obvious lack of music and enemy models which would greatly enhance the game, my main critique is how the wand type weapons don't seem to be able to break the wooden walls. It's a shame because I had to switch back to the rusty blade to actually progress, but then when I fought the sting boss, the sword is a terrible weapon against them since when you get close they have an unreasonably big damage hitbox which felt a little unfair. Lastly, the blocking and rolling mechanics did not feel like they worked at all.

Otherwise, I think this game was pretty neat and I hope the people who actually participated in the jam will rate it well!
