Game is good in overall. Loved the music and creative gameplay. Good job!

Nice game! I recommend you lowering the contrast between colors in tiles, the grass and rock wall tiles gave me a psychedelic feeling while walking through them, also the boss music is probably out of scale, some notes are very dissonant, other than that, the game is really good! 6/10

Cool game, nice arcadey music and pixel graphics. It was fun dashing around with the sword, and the enemies felt balanced. Overall great job!

Other than feeling a little unpolished, it's great!

Fun but quite hard and sometimes frustrating game. I love the style, graphics, music, all of that fits well together. I noticed crates in the first and second stage. It would be nice if there were more crates throughout the game which you could destroy, with powerups and health. Also the dodge mechanics, I think it would be nice if the enemy would give us a hint before the attack, so the player could use dodge more effectively. It could also work as combo: perform perfect dodge and then attack to hit even harder. This way the combat would be more satisfying.

Also I noticed a minor bug, I think? From stage 6 the player doesn't need to beat all the enemies to proceed to the next stage.

Anyway, great job!

@greyvan Thank you so much for your feedback!

What you noticed is actually not a bug. You do not have to kill all enemies on the screen to proceed once you reach the cave.

Nice game. The feeling is really well done and the combo system is very satisfying. I think there should be some kind of checkpoints. I died twice at the boss, and wasn't even close to beat him :( I will try again!

The visuals are really cool, you managed to give they this "pureness" feeling that goes really well with the context. Good job. One thing though: I don't know how you could have made it otherwise, but to me the crates appeared as breakable - so it was a bit disappointing there...

I think you could have worked a bit more with the theme. It seems a bit "too easy" as for an interpration of it. Anyway, theme isn't the most important part.

The music is really nice and the sword sound effects are perfect!

Good job, nice entry !

Nice game, but ultimately the controls are limited to pressing LMB, which isn't bad. You could have added camera shakes when dealing damage. Greetings ;)
