Simple but really fun idea. Loved the graphics and the fact that dialogues were incorporated with voice. Congrats on the great submission 🎉

I liked a lot this game. The bosses are a bit difficult, so maybe adding something to restore health would improve the game. Despite of that, nice music and visuals, and also great gameplay, it feels really smooth, good job!
This was amazing, definitely in my tops for this jam! I loved the theme, story, and overall aesthetic of the game! Look forward to playing more when you update in the future :D
Awesome game!
Would like to see the full game In the future! :D
The audio and visuals were super good and I liked that there were 2 weapon types overall it felt really awesome. The second boss was super hard though with how strong gravity is. Great idea for the theme and the instruction banners were neat as well.
I like the old super nintendo vibe the game has! Great work!
Hi. Cool idea about father who protect his daughter from nightmares. I liked it!
Love what you've done to the theme, and the assets and audio. I had fun exploring the rooms and it really feels like I'm preparing to fight every time I'm in the dojo. Great work!
This game is awesome! The second boss was tough until I realized I could restock on shurikens in the dojo haha! Great work!
Nice game rated it, pls check out my game also if you don't mind - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1418152
RATED!, can't wait for the jam devlog on this one! great job! :D
Bonus points for voiced acting! Loved it - feels like a very complete concept that could easily be turned into a full game. The sword strike was a bit loud/needed to turn the volume down a bit, but other than this it was a great experience. Hope you get more ratings because this deserves to be ranked and Im sure it will rank very well.
I'm pretty sure I played your game in a wowiegamejam before! I know for sure I follow you on twitter for game dev xD but ignoring that, I'm obsessed with how good those first few moments are, the visuals/voice acting/controls all of it set up such an amazing impression. The gameplay was great and this is definitely one of the games I've rated the absolute highest, my only complaint is the final boss fight I had to have exactly the right amount of throwing stars to defeat in the second phase or I had to jump off and restart. I spent a total of 3 minutes waiting for more ammo to drop and it didn't and this happened twice. Does this ruin the game? No not at all, I really really like this game and how it feels and just dang. I love your pixel art so much yo!
hey thanks so much for the wonderful review. My entry to wowie was Android negotiator. The second boss has a bug that stops it dropping star refill unfortunately so sorry about that. I completely ran out of time 🤦♂️🙉 I originally planned to have 3 bosses and that second boss should have 4 states... I'll finish the game after the jam is over 😆
Great game, love the art and how you made the dojo room as a little tutorial to get to know the controls. The first boss fight felt a bit long since the boss was invincible so long. All in all, well done!
Wow this is an amazing game, love the interface and fun to navigate. This is awesome overall. Congratulations for a nice game :)
