I really loved the visuals! However, the combat mechanics weren’t very clear to me. I had trouble gauging the range of both my attacks and the enemies’, which made it difficult to achieve the dance-like flow of combat seen in Souls games, which I assume was one of your goals.

Maybe it’s partly because I was dual-wielding a spear and a katana instead of using a heavy weapon (I just enjoy being fast, haha), but their attacks felt like they lacked impact.

That said, it’s a really great game overall. With a bit more polish, it could become something truly special. Cheers!

Hey there thanks for your feedback!

Can you be more specific with "lacked impact"? 

Do you mean bigger hit box, stronger knockback, higher damage?

I made the weapons for the ant, and we didnt get the time to balance things out - so I tried to set things the best I could (almost blindly) haha I tried to make the hitbox the same size / and lateral it's being used. So if right hand is used, it shouldnt attack enemies on the left of the ant - and so on. If it's big weapon, it hits slower but both sides.

Details that maybe not many people would notice :P

any feedback is appreciated!

Yes, I can :) 

By "lacked impact," I meant I couldn't really tell where the hitboxes for the blades were. It felt like I had to guess where the hit detection would register. The enemies’ reactions to getting hit also didn’t feel very noticeable to me, though that might just be a personal thing.

Now that you've explained how the weapons are supposed to work, I think that's exactly it hahaha. For some reason, I was expecting the blades to hit more in front of me rather than to the sides. But even after I understood that, I still couldn’t clearly tell when the weapon would land a hit and when it wouldn’t. Maybe adding some kind of swing VFX or visual cue could help players better understand the attack’s damage area?

I think it might just be about how it's communicated to the player.
