Very cool concept, missed some urgency which made the switching between two characters feel more like a gimmick than vital to the gameplay. All in all a good and fun game with loads of potential!
interesting take on defense. I had trouble getting the sword to swing properly, and also the stairs felt a bit weird.
Fun action/defense melee/shooter game. I enjoyed the enemies with the crystal heads. Kudos on finishing this for the jam.
I think my biggest enemy was the stairs - what kind of colliders did you use for the stairs? I had the hardest time getting onto the stairs, and then when I'm on the stairs to reach the top of where the stairs go, I seem to fly off the other side and overshoot.
Thanks for the feedback!
The issue with the stairs is more about my character controller. Since I’m just pushing a rigidbody around, I was getting stuck on the staircase since it was too steep. As a band-aid fix, I updated the movement controller so that lateral (XZ) movement would be applied on the plane defined by the ground normal, rather than the plane defined by Y-up. The end result being that the player has more Y-velocity than they should, once they reach the top of the stairs, and ends up flying off.

The staircase is a simple StaticBody3D with a handful of box colliders, the issue was just that the staircase is too steep
