Cool visuals, fitting sounds, simple gameplay,...very nice. I really like it and even gave it several tries t obeat, what i don't do often in jams :D
But in my opinion you missed the theme, becaus you say the char dies with honor, but in the next level you play again as the same char. So technically you have won the fight ;)
It would have fitted way better if you put a small story aroudn it, with a samurai clan for example, and every guy you play is another dude of the clan who wants to achieve honor for the clan or something like that.
But all in all a very good game, especially for this short amount of time.
