Very cool combat mechanic, excellent visuals and fitting music track!

Played the game twice. The first run I was cautious and only used the first two tactics, to deal damage and to dodge. The second run I went with the riskier gambit.

Interestingly, on my second run, the game went right to the strong enemy and into the ending scene. The first enemy was skipped entirely.

I liked how my first run felt more paused and calm while I evaluated each step, and in contrast my second one felt a lot more adenaline pumping with the target shooting and quick dodging happening in a faster succession.

Overall, enjoyed it very much. Great game!

Really great work! The opening scene with the bullet shooting through the title was SO COOL! Everything about this game screams professional! The dialogue menus was great too. All of the artwork was high quality!

Talking about the battle. Oo, it was so cool! The turn-based combat, and the different types of tactics you can employ made it fun! Initially I didn't know I had to actually click on the flipping coin with my mouse, since up until that point everything was controlled with just the keyboard. So until I read the description under the game, I was confused on why I wasn't doing anything with attack. But after that, the game started rolling. It definitely is quite difficult, as you need very quick reaction time to dodge the enemy attacks. But if you can get that down, then going with the risky option is the way to go!

The only gripe was that the enemy targets would spawn sometimes a bit too low so it was hard to hit them. 

Absolutely awesome submission!

Very nice concept an execution, one of my favorite games to come out of the jam. I love the ambience, the music, and the entire combat system. I felt that the targets spawned too fast/too erratically so sometimes it was hard to get any damage off, but it wasn't impossible. 

This NEEDS to be a full game. Seriously. 

Cool retro vibe! The gameplay is engaging, although the first target sometimes spawns too close to the bottom edge, which makes damage chaining impossible. Good job!

I really love this game, personally the best one in the jam. The aesthetics are insane, the intro is just chef's kiss. 

Amazing visual and sound design! I liked the option of having different playstyles and even heals. Chaining a bunch of targets together was super hard but the payoff was worth it.

Great job!

I loved the combat in this, the way the weapon / dodge would change effect depending on the tactic was really cool, and I appreciate the dodge being able to heal you, it felt like I could switch between offense and defense very fluidly

my only nitpick is that sometimes the targets spawn very close to the bottom of the screen so your combo ends pretty quickly, but that’s ok when the combat feels this good

Really interesting twist on turn based combat. Pretty fun experience.

Really liked the gameplay. I believe there was an exploit to change tactics before and after you dodge so you get both benefits.

I ended up just spamming weapon 2. wpn 1 had the fast fallin targets id always miss, and wpn 3.. well i didn't try weapon 3 cus of the RED SCARY TEXT. Idk where i healed from maybe dodging but yeah i tanked as soon as i saw the giant red mecha samurai. Nice thing about weapon 2 was that i got used to timing so dodging became easy. i like how it didnt use S for anything and instead used awd space which is exactly what my fingers were already on! smart. I kinda wished there was 1 more battle (us humans like 3s) like a boss battle but the red samurai was already hardish but mainly really long. The art is pretty good and the music fits alot. using a coin as a target is also pretty cool. i cant believe there arent more ratings but eh.

Combat's really fun, art's good, has a story too, music's fitting. Well done <3

OMG, the animation and gameplay are so smooth.

I hate that itch.io hid this jam from me for so long.

Hats off to you!

Loveit <3. 

its almost impossible to hit that first ability but other than that pretty okay
