Nice idea with sword slashing and parkour movement through platforms. Sometimes I used sword dash as a speed boost. Fun little game and I like the idea, some further improvements and plans after the gamejam?

I like the gameplay so much. The dash mechanic can do so many interesting things.
I would like to see how you develop this game this further if you choose too.
I think the background color is too saturated though.

Goo DasherYeah, Hollow Knight was exactly the inspiration for that mechanic, but it doesn't work exactly as I wanted because most of the enemies are below the player so it's necessary to dash towards them for them to be killed and then the dash reset it's meaningless because you are already on the ground.
It would worked better if there were some enemies on the air so the player would be able to "fly" or some different attack that doesn't have the dash.
This is a really great concept. I really like the mechanic and the art style is really cool( I really like katana zero). The jumping feel a little bit to "floaty" for my liking but overall a really fun short game!

Goo DasherGameplay was great and the vibes were on point too, would love to see this developed into a full game.

Cityscape Sprintgangster. when I first started, I thought the controls were tight but there wasn't much to do. then I got the sword. THEN the game started haha. precise, tight controls for sure. didn't take long to understand how to play. the timing was juuuust right. enough to make you nervous, but giving you room to play how you'd like. I think I ended with 754 coins in my bag after slaying the big bad. real decent game.
