Promising idea! I love the concept. Playing on keyboard doesn´t feel that well but with a controller is much better. What I don´t like is how static the player feels to control, I wanna swoosh around in a game like this and be all flashy, not stop dead in my tracks every time I swing my sword. I also have the feeling that there is some sort of really annoying distance you have to move to hit the ball, where walking ends up being too slow, but using the dash ends up overshooting because of how far it goes. I think you need to toy around with movement/attacking now and make that part feel really really good and dynamic.
I downloaded this, and ended up playing longer than I expected. It's fun. Getting the timing to move to the ball and land the hits was pretty hard for me, but it's possible I just suck. The sounds are good, it's like I'm really in the middle of an anime pong battle. The character sprites are nice. I'm not sure how much art you're planning on adding, but I feel like the presentation would be much improved with some backgrounds. I really like the concept of the game, keep it up!

Sore!

Thanks for playing! Did you try using the ninja? He's a lot swooshier and has attacks where he slides across the screen while hitting the ball.

Played it a bit, it's seems like a promising idea. But I found it really difficult to reliably off the angled hits with Z and the arrow keys.
