good game, cool music, the difficulty is well set. i did it on my 4th try. the most time i died when i got cornered, and there was no way to dodge to the other side of the black knight

The graphics for the 2 sprites were really well done, but I wasn't a big fan of the background graphics. I sort of wish those would have been a little more hand drawn instead. The gameplay was fun, but a little difficult to understand the way the parry works at first. From reading the description, I expected more of a "block" mechanic than a parry mechanic.

In a future version, maybe the "successful parry" animation could have a bright flash? Or maybe if it stunned the black knight for 1-2 seconds?

But good job overall! Still fun to play!

It is a block mechanic. You can hold the button to block normally. You don't have to time it at the right time for a parry or anything. Blocking normally protects you from blockable attacks. There is a flash animation for when you successfully block

There is a very short stun window after you block a blockable attack.

Really well done, I like the sort of rock paper scissors approach to the combat. The roll and the parry feel good, and after one bout I was reading into what the knight would do next.

Cool game. The combat mechanics are well fleshed out and it strikes a good balance between being challenging and forgiving. The graphics are nice, with the various animations of the characters being particularly impressive. It's a little light on content, but quality over quantity I suppose.

Really cool.

The gameplay was a bit challenging but not too hard.

I really liked the character designs and the animations were great, making it really satisfying to play. It was also kind of funny how the knight's body kept facing the player after dying.

The 3D background was also a neat touch.

Polished, fun and challenging the right amount! Pixel art is great and loved the 3D borders too. Sound is a bit lackluster, but the rest make up for it. Nice job!

Nice fight, was able to beat it on third try. I miss sounds out of the fight and would be nice to have a repeat option after you win. Good job!

Great boss fight, the gameplay feels complete you have all the tools you need to beat the boss you only have to master them, it feels fair and balance, i think maybe you should have a little less hp to be a bit more punishing in mistakes but that is nitpicking at this point. Great Game.

I confused with dodge & parry. Maybe I am too old (or side effect of long covid) other one is good.

I had a lot of fun with this! Combat felt challenging but fair, reminded me of getting wrecked by 'The Pursuer' in Dark Souls 2. A good range of enemy attacks too which kept it interesting and the animations were spot-on.

I ran into a glitch where the Black Knight was stuck in the red unblockable attack start-up pose (see below) but didn't respond to my attacks no matter how much I wailed on him. Otherwise, a neat little game with cool parallax background scrolling too!
