pretty cool!
Thanks!
Love how much you were able to do with only black, white, red. Nice use of a simple art style. It is a good game mechanic and I enjoyed playing.
Thank you very much!
A unique and a very interesting concept!
The presentation of this game is one of the best I have ever seen in the jam, including the art, sound design, particles and other stuff. Slashing those targets was really satisfying
My only suggestion is to add a downside or a limit to teleporting to the sword, otherwise the player could abuse that ability and literally fly through the level, making level design in later stages harder or the game in general becoming too easy. You could make it so the sword can only be teleported to if it is stuck into the ground, or you could add a cooldown for the teleport ability.
Overall an amazing entry!
Thank you so much for your feedback! I really appreciate that you like the game and I totally agree that the teleport should be limited in some way.
I loved this. Original, fun, i only wish it were longer!
Thank you very much!
Gotta say, the final level was pretty tough. Had to use all my concentration to not be overwhelmed. Fun concept, good execution and lovely silhouette presentation!
Thank you :)
Beautiful entry. Too easy to spam the blade throwing and retracting though. Nonetheless had fun and enjoyed the excellent graphics and SFX.
Thank you for playing the game and for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Overall great game, but i struggle to see where i am aiming because the cursor kind of blended with the background. Would suggest adding a fairly thick outline to the cursor to improve visibility.
Yeah, you're right that the cursor can be hard to see sometimes, that is something I can improve after the jam is over. Anyway Thanks for trying the game out and for the suggestion!
Very cool art style and great concept. Simple yet effective and great controls too.
Thank you very much!
A solid entry. At first I disliked the noisy black pattern in the bottom of the levels, since it made it really hard to spot my character once he fell down. With my second playthrough however, it gave me more a sort of "dread" of falling down, which seemed fitting.
The crispy audio and especially the big red square wave upon completion was by far my favourite parts :)
Thank you for playing the game and for the feedback :)
Clean art style. Sword joined together with player serves as both movement and weapon, fun mechanic
Thanks for playing the game and the comment!
Found the game scrolling through the list just by it's amazing art style. And it held the thumbnail promise, looks amazing!
Thank you!
Amazing art!, I love the stark colors. The movement was fun, tho maybe a little chaotic at times.
Thank you!
good job
Thanks :)
