The intro was super clean! I really liked the game but the invisible boundaries felt too restrictive. I wish the area was bigger and that there was a no mans land around the town you could run around in. It was fun dashing and feeling so powerful with the knife.

Loved the intro sequence for the title, along with the art style! I've never really like 1 hit death games. These were with early arcade games so as to rob you of your credits (money) by making it artificially tough. All it does is hinder someone's ability to enjoy your game.

Game looks cool and definitely has potential to it. Swinging your knife around feels nice but I had two small issues:

- Since the game is hard, you die a lot, which is ok, but the cutscene is long and unskipable. I wish there was a way to skip it and start stabbing right away.

- Porches blocked vision a little bit too much. I died a lot trying to stab enemies that were standing there in the porches because I could not see them. It would be cool if they became see-through when your character stood in them


Good job overall!

It was pretty good but way too hard and it needed a way to skip the starter cut scene

the combat was nice but its to easy to get killed 

also could you review my game if you had the chance

Sorry, I had real trouble running it, is there a downloadable version?

Beautiful, especially with the time constraint. My biggest complaint was that there was no way to skip the cutscene at the beginning, leaving you to have to wait longer before you could play again, but other than that nicely done. The character's responsiveness seems a little low, he doesnt turn to face the mouse quickly enough, but I loved the enviroment and sounds, they really brought the game together. Keep up the good work!

Impressive! How did you manage so much in such little time!? 
Cool idea and fun gameplay. I noticed some laggy controls that make it difficult for me to "face" my opponents.

Very fun game. Really cool theme and aesthetic. I always like when there are roguelike-esque upgrades to choose from.

The game seemed a bit laggy for me. I think a windows version would have run smoother.

This game looks very polished. 3D models look great. The animations are very cool. I also like music very much. I have no idea how to actually win a level but that makes it chaotic which I like. Overall a good game!

If you have a minute, please check my game too :)

Really awesome game with alot of potential, just has small things like clipping issues but otherwise amazing for only a week worth of dev time.

Anime sword dash as a cowboy just feels right.

The camera being fixed above the player wasn't my favorite thing (I think a third person view with unlocked horizontal movement would have been nice) but I still enjoyed it! Managed to get to the boss but couldn't get him (yet)

Neat take on the theme and cool visuals. Did find it hard to tell when i was going to die but it was still fun to play :)

I spent too long playing this game not to give it a high rating, however there definitely are some frustrating things about it. 

It is super difficult to use the main dash to kill without getting killed, and I think that's the more fun option of the two types of weapons. The way to win at the game is to sit back and aim as many throwing knives as you can on their long cooldown while there is a crazy amount of goons per wave. Pray that you can make it to the fan knife and even then there are too many of them and too many snaptraps for me to make it to the final boss. 

I tried my best to get there to test him out, think my highest kill count was 102. 

It's a fun game, lots of jank but the core of the game is fun. The graphics, sound, and all that are fine. Just needs gameplay polish.

I liked the game, animations and 3D were very nice! It was a bit janky however to control the main character.

The inro was really cool I had some problems with collisions though

Cool concept! Enjoyed the game :)

Great concept and game!!  Couldn’t get past 3 kills...I guess that why you don’t take a knife to a gunfight 🤣

Cutscenes (and main menu transaction) were great! At first I though I could just slash away those pesky cowboys but oh boy I was wrong. Fun game but it's also pretty hard. I would like to tell you few suggestions though. First level cutscene, maybe just show it once or add skip button. After 10th death I didn't want to wait for cutscene to be over to slash away. Also when I run backwards I can't see much, so it's very easy to get killed. But nonetheless nice game :)
