The art is incredibly good! There are just so many assets! And the gameplay is also quite fun, congratulations!

atomicptr 2022-04-04 11:31

Wow, the art looks sick! Not being able to move for a bit too long after a dash would be my only complaint, I like it :)!

wonz 2022-04-04 11:33

Really loved this game. Art looks great, especially those lightsabers. Manage to get a 30 second run time and felt amazing!

bozarre 2022-04-04 13:39

Super cool looking game ! Colors, models and animations fit the mood so well. The music is a banger. Game-play wise, it's fun, enemies can be challenging but their pattern and attacks are predictible, so it's only a matter of skill. I would have like more abilities and/or updgrades (like a longer dash, a cooldown-free dash after a multikill...)

bozarre 2022-04-04 13:40

And what's the story there ? Why so many man want to kill this women ? This mystery is bothering me !

farzher 2022-04-04 17:04

@atomicptr dash had a shorter cooldown but spamming it was too strong; i thought the playstyle of running away in circles fit the theme of delay better, but i agree.

@bozarre cooldown free dash after a kill sounds awesome, and it's not too late for me to add it in!

malero 2022-04-04 19:14

Got to 32 seconds. Was a ton of fun! Great graphics and very smooth gameplay.

martin183 2022-04-04 20:43

Cool game, nice graphics, music and mood. Plus for the comparison with other players/leaderboard!

pauls134 2022-04-04 20:43

35 secs! There's lots of lovely gameplay in there, great work! I love that there is a nice learnable logic along with the craziness as all the characters spawn, and love the intensity with the music and action. Great balance and all very cleanly implemented with great graphics !

filipe-leal 2022-04-04 20:45

Good game! I wish I could be better at it. :)

moonblast 2022-04-04 21:13

The graphics are extremely cool and reminiscent of some retro games. What surprised me most was the fact that the enemies would kill each other while avoiding the game, which effectively controlled the playing time and challenge of the game. The screen was colorful and informative.

robowarrior1982 2022-04-04 21:32

Very nice graphics, i like it. The game is laggy on my computer and make the game very difficult. The control is simple only with the mouse but the scene can be confuse. EDIT : its better with the windows version.

ramelio 2022-04-04 22:10

Really nice animation character animations !

syafire 2022-04-04 22:58

Hello Farzher,

Amazing work on your game! I loved it. It was a ton of fun to play, and I actually kept playing because of how fun it was. The overall mood and aesthetic was nice, and the whole game fit the theme nicely. This is another one of my favorite jam games I have played so far.

The last thing I would recommend is adding the high score/time alive incentive somewhere so the player will be able to see how good their best score was. This will help even more with incentive to keep playing.

Keep up the good work :D

tigerj 2022-04-05 00:38

I had to force myself to stop so I could play the rest of the games submitted to the stream or else I would have kept right on playing. It has that "just one more" thing going on. Fun game!

jcmonkey 2022-04-05 02:02

i spent most my time running around trying to dodge them, then i realized i could attack them.

ideaspersecond 2022-04-05 02:39

Quite fun to play! The graphics are also on point! And I am loving the color palette! Great work! Also, I am proud of the fact that I am in the top 3% of all players (At least right now!) Screenshot 2022-04-04 193749.png

s1lv3r-dr4g0n-games 2022-04-05 04:05

Wow this game looks fantastic! Had a great feel, though a couple times enemies spawned right on top of me. Also the global leaderboard is a really neat feature.

Also I believe I'm your 20th, congratulations!

chocolat-endive 2022-04-05 09:17

The game is very polished (graphics, sounds, overall feel) and is fun to play! It took me some time to get how to attack and dodge properly, but after that I held much longer.

greenpeach 2022-04-05 10:54

Great short game, as already mentioned by others the cooldown after the dash is a bit high. But the strategy of running and dodging worked well, then you rarely use the dash and enemies kill each other.

mikado 2022-04-05 13:14

Nice game! Graphics are really really cool, sound effects are good, and the game itself is very polished, and fun to play. Only one thing, maybe it's just my opinion, but i think the soundtrack is a bit too electronic. Still, good job considering it's a game jam.

akitl 2022-04-05 16:30

cool mood, realy hard to survive !

josh-bothun 2022-04-05 18:43

Awesome game, you should enable the graphics category because this deserves a high rating, it looks wonderful!

davide-rossetto 2022-04-05 21:02

Great job! The color palette and the overall environment is great, the gameplay is challenging too! :v:

There is a slight pause after you dash, I think if you can remove that the feeling will improve a lot. Neat game tho!

sp1d3rb0y 2022-04-05 21:02

Wow, spent too much time on this! Simple, efficient, fun, and addictive. Great work.

nakami 2022-04-05 21:08

Nice entry !

Nice art, cool music, hard but interesting gameplay, but it's me or the map is really not explorable at all ? From what I tested I can go out the "first" screen ?

adamjn 2022-04-05 21:10

I made it to 31 seconds, A lot of fun and feel like it could easily be expanded to a bigger game, Could totally see this as being a fun game to have multiplayer in with a couple of friends. Great game, Really well done.

mcmuniz 2022-04-05 21:13

Super fun! I really loved having high scores it made me super competitive lol

ausstein 2022-04-05 21:13

new highscore :)

stefan-laimer 2022-04-05 21:19

Great game! but I couldn't get more 48 seconds xD Really well done!

Solid game, loved the beat.

russ-moonbase 2022-04-06 02:26

I got 43 seconds! It took me a second to figure it out at first but I got the hang of it. Simple concept and nice execution. I plan on going back to beat my score.

mopifish 2022-04-06 04:12

I super duper love the "You did better than X% of players", what an ingenious way to get people to keep playing :)

That being said, it was super hard, and I was not better than that many players 😔

nardandas 2022-04-06 04:17

Super nice looking scene! I set the world record, as of this post. Beyond 1:40! You all can do it! It was simple yet effective, I just wish there were more types of enemies beyond the bow users. Maybe magic...

farzher 2022-04-06 09:22

Thank you all for the honestly high quality feedback. I just wanted to mention that the game has a 40 second intro sequence to show off the art style! Apparently most people don't know it continues to play. I probably should've named the button SKIP instead of PLAY.

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream for feedback! If you’d like to revisit the play and commentary you can view the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1447203077

You said your goal was to learn to make a good-looking game and boy did you nail that!

It also plays solidly and sounds good, overall excellent work. I enjoyed the dancing in the intro as well.

My big "I wish this had gotten in" is that archers currently spawn looking like swordsmen rather than archers, which is jarring and makes it harder to plan your moves.

I'm a little surprised you've opted out of rating for graphics?

jorbits 2022-04-06 15:18

Cool game. I like the animations of the characters and also the intro sequence. It gets difficult really fast, which is nice. I wonder what do I have to do to chain my dashes, sometimes I did work and sometimes it didn't?

manan 2022-04-06 15:25

The art is really impressive, and I loved the intro scene. Very cinematic. Also really cool that you were able to include a leaderboard. For the gameplay itself, it kind of seemed like I died at random because it was hard to tell when one of the ninjas was targeting me. The focus seems to be on the aesthetic though, which was really well done.

jean-francois 2022-04-06 20:27

Ho wow only one person for this graphic quality, amazing :) the gameplay is dynamic and really intuitive, good job !

lvl99chicken 2022-04-06 20:43

Very fun game! Simple concept but executed well with beautiful atmosphere. Gets really tense but fast-paced but did not feel unfair. Overall loved the game! Lets see if anyone can beat this...

mechanicallife 2022-04-06 20:44

Super cool, real straight forward Love that i get to see how i compare to other player in the end screen :smile:

jeffrey-hwang 2022-04-06 21:03

6e0000a2-9a5d-48c1-ac47-7f92ef952993.png It was very simple concept, but really well executed. Loved the overall mood and models. Wish I was good at the game, but this was all I could do. Dash isn't supposed to kill enemies right? I need to make them kill each other? Great game and awesome idea! Well done!!

sasquatchbstudios 2022-04-07 00:14

Beautiful game. Really great colors. I found it a bit difficult, but played a few times and managed something like 'longer than 75%' of players so I guess I wasn't too bad. I think the biggest area for improvement would be making the gameplay last a bit longer, I feel like it could have been really fun if the rounds were a bit easier or if you could survive more than one hit. Really solid entry for 72 hours!!

squimmy 2022-04-07 10:51

pretty cool aesthetics. the game seemed to start running pretty slow after a while though.

cloudinksk 2022-04-08 10:37

Pretty little game here! I like japanese aesthetics very much. WebGL version is a bit laggy, btw, but who cares about webgl optimisation after all?)

itsboats 2022-04-08 18:43

This was a really fun game for it's mechanical simplicity! The dash resetting mechanic was a great choice to add more depth and increasing the skill cap without introducing more complexity/abilities. Humor was great, I'm glad you added skip button, but the cutscene is definitely worth the view. I had to settle for second place last night, but I'm gonna keep at it >:)

I didn't have too many suggestions on stream, but here's some I remember: -hit effects -more sound -communicate current scores together (time and percentile), and same with high score. right now there's numbers all over the death screen -change the telegraph color to purple (the color of the roofs maybe?) so it stands out more against the background or change the color of the background to be darker could work too

Hope to see more games from you in the future!

milq 2022-04-09 00:21

Are you a film director? You remind me of Kojima! A developer closely linked to cutscenes and matching them to music and being playable. It's impressive, seriously! !! Congratulations!! I understand that the animations will be with Mixamo, right? And the music? Love it! Great game!

elysiagriffin 2022-04-09 10:42

Kept me entertained for a bit. Liked the art style. Music got a bit repetitive, but the controls felt solid and I loved the into sequence keep it up!

ava-skoog 2022-04-21 16:03

Very pretty! I take it these are not your own assets since you opted out of the graphics and audio categories but you made good choices and organised everything very nicely. The cinematic between plays with the dancing is great too, really well done. As for the main gameplay it feels smooth and fluid and the light streaks are satisfying. Difficult to say much more, good or bad, really 😊 It's just really nice!

sver 2025-04-14 16:34

Super cool style, I found it quite hard but couldn't stop at the same time :) Awesome job!
