Overall: A nice little testbed for a potentially great battle system with some real Harold Jam energy behind it.
Gameplay: Battle system is fun and shows great potential but could be streamlined a bit. Timing didn't seem consistent and there were instances where I jumped or dodged but still took damage. Would love to see this battle system extended to timed attacks and enemy attacks where you can only jump or dodge, not both. Would be fun seeing boss fights where you have to play through a DDR song's worth of inputs to dodge one attack. Off-topic tangent, potions instakilled me and that just straight up was not enjoyable.
Music: RTP is RTP.
Comedy: Double-edged sword. Some funny dialogue here and there, and the potions that kill you could have been great if there was some further indication they didn't work as intended.
Graphics: RTP is RTP.
Story: Simple enough.
Thanks for the kind words!
This game is indeed a test to see if the concept of "Directional Dodging" lands with people or not.
I am in the middle of developing a game that uses this system's fully expanded version. If you wanna take a look at some of that in its early from, please check em out on my twitter:

Also, you said there should be enemy attacks where you can only jump or dodge, could you please let me know what you meant by that exactly? Like certain attacks which can only be dodged by jump or only by ducking?
Thanks!
As I've said, I think this could be the foundation of a pretty damn good game.
> Like certain attacks which can only be dodged by jump or only by ducking?
This is exactly what I meant.
thanks!
Giving you 5 stars for everything XD Also, I can start the game from the included save file and skip the intro, lmao. :P The poitons and other stuff were the most use-full items in the game. Game of the Year. 5/5.
Thanks!
Definitely a bit silly and seemed purposefully unpolished, but I did enjoy ducking and jumping a few times. This sort of entry is like 100% perfect for Harold Jam.
lol. Thank you. You are too kind.
good for laughs, short and not a bad game
