This is a cool first game!
We really like the theme of ronins and ninjas, the character and attack animations were clean!
The story read nicely, the font looked good, but was quite difficult to read. You could add a background behind the text or give the font a diluted shadow to make it more readable.
We can really imagine an elaborate version with maybe vertical movement and multiple enemies!
We hope to see more of your games! Here are some tips:
For game jams:
- Make games playable in the browser, it makes more people play your games! (You can still upload an .exe to download as well)
- Play other people's games, comment and they might check out yours in return and give constructive feedback!
For games in general:
- Just do stuff, literally anything makes you grow! Just make some random song, code some inventory system...
- It's fine if simple stuff takes some times right now, everything will be going faster the more you learn! Good ideas will be easier to realize and you won't get stuck on tedious implementation!
