Great game! Love the character design, the constant need to switch between melee and shooting is a great use of the theme. The stages are designed pretty well. Overall really fun. I did find myself missing and taking damage more than actually hitting the enemies when try to melee attack. Towards the end, I ended up just using it more as a dash to escape or platform than fight. Maybe I just wasn't using it right. Other than that great work! Keep it up!
I love how you can play like crazy or be calculated :D The parallax effect is really nice and i love the character design. The game definelty needs some strong feedback when killing and getting hurt i often found myself getting hurt without noticing :d Other than that i had fun with this one great work :D
The boss design was very clever, a large boss would have a large hitbox, making it just an alternating right and left click boss fight, but with the "real" boss you actually have to aim, move, and dodge while alternating attacks, definitely would like to see this concept expanded, the animation and the character is great, and theres some nice lasting particles with the lightning bolt, the only thing missing is some music to listen while slicing and throwing lightning at enemies, a very great job for your first game.
Nice game, good design, visuals and was quite fun! some background music would be nice though. Amazing Job!!!
Really cool game, nice design with putting fun first, quick restarts, the option to turn on invincibility etc. I found the slash attack quite hard to use but the lightning bolts were awesome so I mostly relied on them haha. The floaty guys at the end were tricky and I'd say the difficulty was just right! Nice art style and responsive controls, nothing to fault here.
Great work :)
What a cool game !
I had a blast playing it ! This is arcade gameplay at its purest form
Congrats on the game !
This might be the best jam game I have ever played
That makes me so much happy! This is my first ever game. I am really happy you liked it. ðŸ˜
That a cool game! Attacks are awesome! I love the player's sprite! But I need more impact on attacks and hits - maybe more smashy sound.
Thanks for your feedback. I added some impact on the attack but the original idea was completely different but by the time I was done with levels, I didn't have much time left. I will surely plan better next time. Thanks for such valuable feedback. This is my first game ever that I completed. I have really learnt a lot. You guys are just amazing!
My favorite part is how I can infinitely dash back and forth, be it I start to fall slowly, but it makes it for a fun effect. I have a wide monitor so all the UI was completely hidden to me and i had no idea how strong an attack was or how much health I had. I ended up trying to just switch between the two constantly which seems to work but without seeing if there was cool down or some other indication that the "attack was not at its more powerfulness" :) Very cool
Hey! I am so sorry I didn't have any idea that the wide monitors couldn't show the UI. I am planning to buy a cheap one so that I can test games on that in the future before causing someone any inconvinience. Thanks a lot for your feedback! I honestly wouldn't have known this issue if it wasn't for you.
Was this a unity game? (Sorry, can't remember and I'm not at my desk at the moment)
If so there are two things you can do to see what it looks like without the need of a new monitor.
If this was Godot or Construct or GameMaker or something else then sorry for useless advised ;)
This was really fun, the animation behind the melee was especially fun to just mess around with and feel like a badass murdering enemies. The lightning was cool for use as a ranged but honestly I just used the sword mostly. As for some clear feedback tho:
Okay... wall of text over. Overall this was one of the most polished games in the game from what I've seen and I really enjoyed the feeling of just blinking and slashing some enemies up. The only thing I'd ask is more levels!!!
Hey i like the way you make such a big detailed review! Would be glad if you could review mine as well https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprod-game-jam-3/rate/899679, thanks
The visuals in this game are amazing and I love the character design. That looks like a really iconic main character. The feedback on hits was also really well done. Great work!
Great game! I have very few complaints about it. The movement is by far the best part, dashing around with the left mouse is just so much fun. I also like your idea for the mechanic and make the player balance out the two attack modes. My one suggestion for improvement is to only exchange power if you hit an enemy, so that you can't just charge up the lightning attack by spam dashing around. It would reward the player for riskier gameplay. Overall, great job!
Great game!
The art, music, and atmosphere are incredible!
The only problem I saw was that if you spam the melee attack, you can fly and bypass the enemies.
Overall excellent job!
Awesome game! The movement feels really fluid and fast-paced! The art style was cool as well!
I must say this is one of the best games I've tried in this Game Jam. I like the aesthetics and how everything feels. It was tough at the beginning but got used to it fairly quickly. I managed to defeat the hardest mini-boss and boss it felt rewarding as hell! Very good job my friend 5 stars.
Nice game overall. It really ran with the theme. It was very polished and had a lot of juice. Good job

Wow, this game is awesome! I really enjoyed the silhouette feel to the levels but with the glowing red to contrast. The best thing was the polish to the movement and animations of the main character. It just made the game feel great to play. Awesome entry!
I really liked this one. Visuals and mechanics are great. I liked the wallsliding and the way that you could only "fly" and easily win the level. This gives nice variation to beat levels. Made with great professionalism.
This was awesome. Nothing else to say. it was both ambitious and super polished, which I don't think many other games here can say.
