That was really fun! Love the falling tiles, made it quite a challenge. Just me though, I wished I could use left click instead of space though. :P Not very dexterous with my left hand, it got all tangled up.

Nice game, really beautiful, I wish I could use a closer camera to see the details.

Strange but fun gameplay! :)

Awesome art, concept and UI. I loved the idea of the huge flying sword :D. I just wish we could get a clearer path to the other areas. I found myself dodging bullets from areas that I couldn't reach for a long time. But honestly, this is a very cool and polished game. Good job!

Lovely colors and great pixel art! The sword seems to have a mind of it's own which makes it fun and unpredictable.

caspila 2014-12-09 04:35

Wow, superb art! I'm not so sure about the gameplay though. It would be very nice to see this game with more polished mechanics! Keep working on it!

Reminds me Hyper Light Drifter by the screens...

Great pixel art. Interesting idea and realization. Good job bro

neithr 2014-12-09 21:12

I like the graphics ;).
Also, found a bug that when I game over and pressed a key (I pressed E key), the game can still be continue without player but the sword keeps attacking.

Very impressive and fun entry. Also really difficult, but in an enjoyable way.

louis-denizet 2014-12-10 10:24

Really good! I think the sounds were not on the level of the rest, but great everywhere else ;)

qristofer 2014-12-10 10:27

Beautiful art! I didn't understand the game too well tho.

rico-albe 2014-12-10 10:29

Good game. Pixel art is good on the sword and boss, decent enough on the rest. Gameplay could be better, but the idea is interesting. Keep it up.

dieblume86 2014-12-10 10:29

Nice game, i like the graphic style.

sartemis-smart 2014-12-10 10:34

Awesome graphics ! I love the idea, but some of the swords movement seem confusing to me when it flies around you.
On another note, it's not always easy to read and move around the fallen tiles, it may add up a little too much difficulty to moving around, but that's just my two cents.

Great game overall !

valtaroth 2014-12-10 10:38

Amazing visuals and fun gameplay, unfortunately it lagged like crazy on my laptop.

jaloko 2014-12-10 10:46

The art is awesome. The sword flying around is a bit confusing to start but you get used to it. Cool idea and game.

ali312 2014-12-10 10:52

Wow, what a nice picture!
Big freaking sword :)

allurious 2014-12-10 11:02

Loved the aesthetic, neat idea. Falling tiles really keeps you on your toes and I liked the sword mechanic. <:

inhelli 2014-12-10 11:49

Классная) звуки только жестковаты )))

dearenot 2014-12-10 14:39

все очень круто, жаль на олде так и не дорвался, но сейчас с удовольствием поиграл

thopis 2014-12-11 00:53

Nice!

evanegibbs 2014-12-11 08:04

Sweet game! That is a really cool idea. I love switching between attacking the boss and trying to mitigate all of the hives around you. I wish I could have had control of swinging the sword around myself, but overall it was fun and I loved the aesthetic! Awesome job. :)

threstle 2014-12-11 15:58

Great idea ! I really liked that game. :) Though the sword could be more wildish and less listening to you. The graphics are awesome and the concept is quite cool.

themeorch 2014-12-11 20:33

Lovely art, and an interesting core mechanic. It would be nice to get more visual feedback when you hit an enemy, so you know your attacks are working. Awesome job!

celanova 2014-12-12 23:09

Kind of simple not in a good way

pegigante 2014-12-12 23:52

Audio and graphics very very good.

2014-12-15 12:23

it's really pretty and the idea is cool, but maybe a bit more animation would be nice

oldpeculier 2014-12-16 20:44

Lotta cool stuff going on here: tiles, big boss, nice art, cool sword concept. I think the motion of the sword needs work though: it is unpredictable and not very fluid, and overall doesn't "sing" like it should.

lynx 2014-12-17 02:57

Interesting concept and pretty graphics, although I was slightly confused on what I was doing or why I was doing it...

The space between instructions seem to startle me though, I kept think "oh no, what did I do? Did I die?" whenever one would stop my game and pop up.

intogamesuk 2014-12-17 22:54

Interesting idea and rock hard -- I got nowhere near offing the boss!

ashtom 2014-12-18 14:36

Superb ambiance with nice graphics. I like the smart core mechanic with a good risk/reward balance. The destructive floor is a nice touch. I would have liked to be able to escape more easily from the mob if I get blocked.

freaknarf 2014-12-21 20:49

Very hard :) but very good ! I like bossfights !! gameplay is original and sprites licked :] the boss really looks nice. Cheers!

jacob-peltola 2014-12-21 20:49

Really like the artstyle, the gameplay was confusing but after awhile but I understood it later, interesting concept and a very fun game

slothmachine 2014-12-21 20:59

Beautiful beast. Nice gameplay too.

si1ver 2014-12-21 21:45

This is fun, I've enjoyed playing it.
Nice feature with sword indirect control.

drhahn 2014-12-21 22:08

Art is really nice :D Enemies are a bit confusing, but generally it was fun.

metalchouchen 2014-12-21 22:43

Nice game. Art is really nice. I really don't like the sword for close fight. But the game idea is really good. Congrats!

raiyumi 2014-12-21 22:45

I would have liked more control over the sword especially when it was around you and the sounds were a bit harsh. But overall it has gorgeous graphics and it was fun!

aisland 2014-12-22 06:08

that's really really cool game, the sword man looks like a character from east

lemmily 2014-12-22 12:00

I found the swords movement to be a bit odd, in the way it bounced off things sometimes, not quite how I'd expect, so it's hard to predict its movement on occasion. Really love the art style!

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-22 13:09

Love the graphics!!! Great game in overall!

camlang 2014-12-22 13:36

Cool art and mood. Simple concept, but fun. Good job!

arkrothe 2014-12-22 15:49

Very nice concept! Would have loved it if it had more fluid controls, and a closer camera would definitely have helped as others mentioned.

hempuli 2014-12-22 19:35

Interesting concept! I found the sword a tad too unpredictable at times (it seemed like it would randomly jump towards the boss even when in the "attack enemies" mode). I also wish the boss moved, it'd add a lot to the atmosphere. Still, nice art and an engaging concept!

mathmadlen 2014-12-22 22:44

Great art and interesting mechanics /took some time getting used to it/. Brimming with potential!

maesk 2014-12-23 01:57

Nice graphics and colors. Idea is nice, but the changing layout got me isolated from most places for a while without being able to do much.

ddrkirbyisq 2014-12-24 21:12

What an awkward experience. I like it xD

flickta 2014-12-25 14:37

Great concept, and gameplay is varied and fun. A bit slow on OS X (because of Flash?), and collision detection isn't perfect.

phocker 2014-12-26 17:16

i like a lot of things in this game - could really turn into something - great job
