I like this game. Nice pixel art, clean UI, simple. Well done.
I do have a problem with the pace and choices you made after each level.
It felt not good in my eye to see the screen shut and open again after each time. It also really slowed the game for me. I want to get in to a flow state and it slows me down. The game wouldn't be different without the the screen shutting down for a few seconds.
Other than that, all good.
Well done!
You're totally right, someone else also commented on the fade before attacks. I will remove it, that way it will also be easier to see when the enemy chooses a stance. Thanks for playing!! Check it out after rating when I update if you have the time :)
Very nice :)
Thx!
This is such a simple yet amazing Game!
Thank you for playing :)
Super polished!
Thanks for playin!!
I love the art!
Great job!
Thanks!
Small, fun and polished game. You need reactions like a pro gamer, to beat this game. I love the simple pixel design. Great Job!
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it :D
Really neat game! A tutorial would've been appreciated, though! (:
If you mean an interactive tutorial instead of a text screen, you're right that's a good idea. Thanks for playing!
Oh- right. Yeah, that's what I meant. :P
Really nice game! I think a more extensive tutorial/instructions would be effective as the gameplay wasn't super intuitive for me. Art and sounds are great! Nice job!
Thanks for playing, and for the solid feedback!
I don't quite get the gameplay but the art, audio and polish is AMAZING.
Thanks! Yeah, the honor counter doesn't do much atm and the time for choosing a stance is confusing. Will update post rating period tho :)
Cool game! Got a bit confused at the start with "You defeated", but soon got to the 6th level, nice!
Nice reflexes there! Thanks for playing :)
I really love this. So simple yet so satisfying as well. The visuals are just really great as well. The idea is pretty cool and you've executed it beautifully. I got uptil the 7th difficulty level and I'll definitely be playing this more. Really love this man. Awesome job.
You could easily put this on mobile as well. Just a thought really lol
Thanks so much! I'm happy you liked it :) Might make a mobile port then
At first I did not understand how to play it, I reread the tutorial and still did not understand.
When it became clear at what moment to press, the question remained, why does the character need the upper sword, if in any case you win with the lower one.
When I finally realized what the idea was, I found it very interesting. Really clever intrapritation on the topic, and the atmosphere and visuals are beyond praise. But it lacks intuitive controls.
Thanks for the feedback! What do you think could make the controls better?
Really nice aesthetic
Thanks :)
Love the visuals the game looks incredible and feels nice to play. Sound great as well, this was diffidently a great reaction game :)
One thing I would change is the tutorial, I wish it explained the honor system a little more, I was slightly confused on what the purpose of honor was and how to get honor but overtime I figured it out. Well done
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked it :D
legitimately a fantastic game - beautiful visuals, great SFX, super unique main mechanic. Love this.
Thanks so much, it means a lot :)
I was a bit confused at first, but still a very fun game and I love the aesthetic!
Thanks!! :)
Some criticism first, I didn't fully understand the mechanics and the main menu kinda felt like a big wall of text.
Now the good stuff: I really like the visuals of the game, good pixel art done well. The sound design was good in the game even though the sounds were simple. The idea was creative, even though it got a bit repetitive at some point. Really awesome stuff!
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I found it kinda tricky to explain the mechanics simply. Glad you enjoyed it
Really nice visuals and animations (including scene transitions!) I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I just couldn't seem to get the hang of timing that much (I found it really difficult), maybe some sort of indicator for when they're going to strike would help. That's just personal preference. Overall, looks amazing!
Thanks! You're right, there is a sound cue but I should have put some sort of alert sprite in the middle or something. Will probably update.
Maybe I'm missing something - as long as I time it right if I press DOWN for every enemy I'll make it to max difficulty? Feels a little *too* simple.
Thematically it's nice, but honour is just a number in the corner so I started ignoring it pretty much straight away.
Phenomenally presented. Excellent marks there.
You are correct. Down always wins, and the honor counter is pointless. I was planning on making different endings based on how honorable the player was, but ran out of time :/ Thanks for playing!! :)
AWESOME!!!!!
Thanks!! :)
