The reactive crowd audio is rad! The sound design gave me a decent understanding of the action and allowed me to be successful in the few rounds that I won. However, the 90-degree turning felt too limiting because it seemed my opponents could move freely. The player could receive footsteps, and the enemies a heartbeat, to help fill the gaps. I’ve also encountered a bug where the player gets in a death loop after their first loss, dying immediately whenever a new game starts.

By the way, I made a game similar to this for Game Off 2021 called Bladius. We took totally different approaches, so you might find it interesting. Playing your submission has reminded me that I really do wish to finish it someday.

Hi I think it's a nice concept. Do you know the game "The Vale: Shadow of a Crown"? there they use also a attack and block mechanic with both AWD and arrow keys: left, front, right.

I do like that you can turn, but maybe you could try another mechanic together with the arrow keys.

Also the sound of the enemy is too quiet.

Unfortunately there weren't enough speech or audio cues to really tell what was going on much of the time, and no "learn sounds" dialogue or menu to explain what the sounds meant.  Cool concept, just needs some work to be less confusing for fully blind players.
