I liked the intro and the game over screen a lot, it gave the game a lot of atmosphere and felt like I was doing something real which felt really good! The game itself was cool, although I was finding it difficult timing the jumps, and it was hard to slash the enemies accurately, though it could be down to my pitiable hardware making it harder than it is. It was really satisfying when I got it right though!

It took a while, but I eventually felt like I got into a rhythm. Once I figured out what the intended (or what I suppose was intended) route was through the stage, it did feel pretty cool to sprint through it quickly. The hitboxes were always a bit of an issue though, I never knew when a bullet was going to hit me, or worse when my sword was going to hit an enemy.
