Fun little game! Great animations. I included it in my compilation video series of all of the GBJam 5 games, if you'd like to take a look :)

Very cool samurai fighting game. Bit more polished than the very similar One Strike.
I love samurai and I love this. Pretty simple but fun to play. And really good looking.
Awesome pixel art graphics. Gameplay was a bit reprtititve and AI seemed overly easy to beat, I stopped after beating about 5 levels by just repeatedly pressing A, it didn't seem to get any harder. 2 player could be cool but I didn't get a chance to try it.
Great game! Simple but well done graphics. Challenging but fair gameplay.
I enjoyed the local versus!
Nice job!
The artwork is very well done!
Very well-made! The combat is surprisingly deep for such a simple setup. I didn't get a chance to try out the local multiplayer with anyone, but I bet it would be really fun!
The AI difficulty was well-done too; the first couple enemies were very easy, but it took me many tries to beat stage 5 and 6.
Really cool ! multiplayer feature is always appreciable and the fighting sytem is interesting
Amazing graphics and definitely feels like an early '80s game, or something from the early GameBoy era. It seemed like the AI could block and I couldn't, but maybe I just couldn't figure it out. Beautiful entry!
Wow this is awesome, looks really simple but it's quite intense and highly enjoyable. Really nice work!
Despite the simplicity of the controls, the battles were very intense.
Very cool game! Very polished indeed, in all aspects. And I love that it has a vs mode. Also the overall speed really builds anticipation and puts it back into a gameboy feeling.
Only a minor remark here: the keys are assigned by letter and not by physical key. I've played in an azerty (French) keyboard and it was very frustrating not being able to move backwards until I've realized that the A key was somewhere else. Silly me!
Super simple but amazing and polished! The amount of gameplay contained in just move left and right, attack quick, and attack strong is insane. I lost at the 3rd enemy and it was tragic but I wasn't robbed. The best parts of the fighting genre distilled in gameboy form.
