I mean, what's not to love about lightsabers ey. A fun game!

I think it would be much better if it were full screen though, I kept moving the mouse outside the screen and the game wouldn't pick it up properly. The pace was good, the deflections felt great. The tables, I think, could've been used a little more effectively, but still a fun idea (it took me a long time to figure out pressing E flipped them, I thought the icon was telling me to twirl the lightsaber around).

The graphics were charmingly simple and they read well on the screen. The sound effects definitely could've used a nice low-key hum and "vrrr" noise when you swung, but overall, it was good!

Congratulations on making a game. I played this game all the way to the end, and beat the neon worm. I loved the lightsaber effect, and your deflections worked perfectly. You have a good sense of level design, and your bad guys were not too easy, and not too hard. Well done!

Wow, Batman the Movie (16 bit) meets Jedi Outcast!   Fine sabre fighting and deflecting bullets :)  May be cool with many adventure elements.

It was very fun to play, but difficult with the touchpad on my laptop haha. I like the idea of this game. I think my biggest issue is the people shooting down from above with no indication. It felt unfair to me when I couldn’t see the enemy and then a bullet came quickly with little time to react. Very good job!

Neon is red-orange, though. Check wiki. :D Cool game you've made, still! Nice non-lightsaber!

Game was such joy to play haha. Wasn't sure what to expect but when I started deflecting the bullets and swinging the sword, couldn't help smiling a little. It was pretty cool! Biggest critique I guess could be the sound and art but hard to get all that sorted out during a game jam. Felt the gameplay was a lot of fun!
