This is another myth I was unaware of so that's nice. I knew that numerous Russian principalities became subject to and eventually broke away from the Golden Horde, but I've never heard of this particular story. I like that you included an explanation of the character and the background of the myth to provide context.

The game itself is surprisingly difficult, it was hard to when an enemy was in range, and the fact that misses seem to also damage you somehow don't help with the difficulty. I think it would've been better to have only one enemy at a time come at the player at the start, and have it ramp up from there.

The visuals for the warriors was quite nice and the animation seemed to have a fair bit of effort put into them. But sadly I didn't see them for more than a few seconds.

You did good, the game just needed more time for balancing I think.

I played from direct download. Really interesting myth and enjoyed reading the description of the Russian hero. 

However, the game is way too hard for me. I tried twice and lasted 1 second and 5 seconds. You need to have a difficulty curve when it starts out easy while the player warms up and then you can ramp up the difficult. It's a pity as the graphics for the warriors are pretty good.

Thank you for your review. Yeah, definitely this difficulty level is a problem and probably your variant is the best solution

I was excited to play this but I'm not using windows. Is there a possibility of a Mac, Linux or HTML version?

Sorry, but unfortunately it is not possible now
