Pretty cool game! Maybe a bit too much clicking but for the time it takes to beat it it's fine. I got 5165 with the 3rd skelly on normal difficulty, didn't try hard though. I liked that you had to dodge and couldn't just keep attacking, animations were good and sounds as well. Good job!

Thank you for playing and the feedback! I really didn't want the game to overstay it's welcome, so I guess I did well on that. Also that's close to the highest score I managed to get, so good job!

This was fun! All the clicking was straining my hand a bit, but I managed to dethrone the king on Hard difficulty, so it worked out in the end.

Thank you for playing! I thought that might happen so I really didn't want the game to overstay it's welcome

Although the music sounded really low quality for me (could be the style or my browser), the rest of the game felt really well done and polished, from art to gameplay, good job!

I really like the animations and the sound effects. Gave a really good game feel. This could be expanded

Was confused at first, but that was only because I thought dodging was a one time press thing, not something you had to hold. Afterwards, it was over for them guards. Honestly? This game was pretty fun albeit short.

Great job with this game! The combat flowed really nicely and I would love to see this expanded upon with more attacks and enemies!

Good game, short but sweet. has some rhythm to the combat. (was gonna post my score but, I closed the tab by accident and lost it lol)

I got 3960! No idea if that's a good score or not though.

I enjoyed it and the simple combat mechanics made it really easy to pick up.

I liked the take on the theme, too. Nice job!
