This is the best game in the jam. Genuienely everything was amazing. I have zero complaints with this game, so we're gonna have to get a tad nitpicky here. It wasn't explained well what counts as a thrust attack, and I never ended up using that mechanic outside of the boss made to teach the mechanic. This is fine, but it could use a little more elaboration if made into a full game. Also, for colorblind people having an option to change the bash icon or color would be great. While the game felt very responsive with sound on, deaf people can't hear that (which I simulated by muting the tab), and so some extra visual juice when parrying might be helpful. Also apparently muting the tab and unmuting it brings the ambiance back from the dead which is interesting. One last thing is that the finisher attack would feel even better if you juiced it up a bit with screenshake or particles or something. It already releases allllll the dopamine from finally beating that really hard boss, but the extra juice might make it just that much better.
AMAZING WORK!! YOU DID SO GOOD AND I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING THIS IS YOUR FIRST JAM
