I loved the music it is awesome, the controls are very hard (for me at least) but it is an overall great game!, congrats, and we would love if you could rate our game too :)

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks! Sure, I will :)

Submitted(+1)

I loved all of this! I think it would be a lot better on controller, but nonetheless man this was fun! Artwork is awesome, music is nice, and sound fit well,. The movement and attack took a second to get used to but feels really nice once I stopped pressing attack instead of jump... lol

Developer(+1)

Thanks man! I would be adding more controls after the jam. Thank you for playing and giving me such a kind/good feedback! :)

This game was great!

I loved the artstyle and you really made the theme "If you stop you die" REALLY FUN. The games difficulty is really neat as well since it gets really neat the higher your score gets. I don't know if there's a health pack that appears, but I think if after a certain amount of enemies are killed a pack would appear.

I really loved the music theme you had. I just HATE how there wasn't more to it haha. It's actually a really beautiful tune and I think something you could do is when the player increases their score, more parts of the song get added.

I would love it if you could perhaps allow players to configure their controls or make arrow keys a way to move as well?

Also these comments won't affect the rating in a negative way. Just wishes I have haha. Awesome job

Developer

Hey, thank you for playing and for giving a such detailed feedback! I'll surely add controls after the jam, but custom button mapping is such a huge task to do for a jam game (I haven't seen any jam game with custom button mapping on every jam I have participated). I'm also planning to show the combo score on 2 and above (cause right now, it only shows 5 and above, similar to downwell).

So yeah, thank you so much for giving me this detailed feedback. I really appreciate it :)

A fast paced little game! I struggled to get any kills at all haha. 5 was my high score :(

Great art and execution - the mechanic and movement felt really good, I wish I was better at it !😂

Developer

Hey, still a great score! Thank you so much for playing and for giving me a kind feedback, I really appreciate it :)

nice artwork and cool mechanic i like the idea that you discourage player to stay on platform but the learning curve is sooo steepppppppppp

Developer

Thanks, it kinda is and that's the challenge, but if you get the hang of it, it will be so satisfying. Thanks for playing and giving your feedback! :)

Submitted(+1)

cool game i like audio and graphics of your game also your game is hard and you can only get more score if you learn how to play!

Developer

Yeah, it has a steep learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it's so addicting and satisfying. Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

It great game game! I especially liked the art and the SFX. I think that you should allow the player to jump more and make the first few instances a little easier, but overall - solid job!

Developer

I'll keep that in mind. And thank you for giving a kind feedback, I really appreciate it :)

Submitted(+1)

Great game in every aspect, my only issues is that there is a little bug when you are on the edge of the very edge of the screen dashing doesn't work properly but after I fully understood the controls it didn't matter! An amazing game made in the 3 days you had. Well done! :p

Developer

Will definitely check that out and try to update the game after the jam. Thank you for giving such a kind feedback :)

THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE GAME

My high score is 50!

Wow! Congrats! Thank you for playing and giving a kind feedback/comment :)

I'm about to play it again. I love these quick hard games!

Thanks! I really appreciate it :)

50       56!

Developer(+1)

Nice! What was your highest combo? Were you able to pop a skill?

Submitted(+1)

I have never been able to pop a skill past the first one yet but have been able to charge it past the first. I record my runs so I can watch it back. I think slash chains without jumping is 2 and 3 killed in one slash. I have killed 4 in one before and definitely slashed 4 down without jumping. I'll never forget how incredibly BOSS that quad slash chain felt!

Submitted(+1)

Watched it back my 56 was 17 and my 50 was 28.

Developer(+1)

Wow, you are really getting better. Thanks for still playing my game, makes me so happy :)

Submitted(+1)

It really is a lot of fun. It ticks all the things I looks for in a quick pass time.

Submitted (3 edits) (+1)

Amazing. Truly, a great simple game. Unforgiving though. It is a small finished product, the only thing that could be improved is the audio, quite repetitive. Now I am interested how someone good at it plays it. Well done.

Edit:
I think the combo count should be there all the time, it should be well visible as I need to plan whether I should move back to the island. Also, make the combo reset when touch the ground, so player gets more points for constantly being in the air.
Edit2:
Also, I think you should be able to jump after the slash, as slashes are limited and jump kinda helps to move around. Anyway, just some quick thoughts.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and giving a feedback. It's an endless game and 1 scene so I just put a single battle audio.

- The combo resets everytime you touch the ground and when you get hit by the enemy. There is also an indicator in the island when you reach 10+ combo, upon landing on the island then will spawn a skill.

- You can jump after slashing as long as you have jump left (you have 2  jumps and 1 slash, you can use them in any order you want),  jumps and slash also resets when you hit an enemy/skill or landing on the island.

But yeah, thank you for playing!

A truly addicting game indeed! The slashing and the idea of the control and gameplay was just genius! Especially when I only have one slash and if I slash nothing, I might as well already be dead! Great use of the theme and the sound! The sound at the main menu was a bit loud though when I selected something, but other than that, this game was amazing!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and giving a kind feedback. I really appreciate it! :)

Game is super ince, like everyone said maybe change the input of jump or attack, otherwise super fun concept

Developer

Thanks for playing! Will definitely consider more controls  in the future.

Submitted(+1)

Difficult, but a cool concept, really enjoyed playing :) I did keep trying to press space bar to jump through!

Developer

Thanks! I'll try to add a custom controls next time :)

Submitted(+2)
