Pretty fun overall, but definitely some problems throughout. I'd say the spike traps were the most noticeable, since every single death to those felt like a personal middle finger in the face from Dani himself. They're an unfair method to kill the player in a game where you're trying to go fast and can't notice them, they just don't really fit. As soon as the sword throw was introduced, any melee attacks became meaningless because of how much better the throw is. Block seems to be a bit off, since it seems to be inconsistent on where and what it can actually block? Some of the level design requiring you to barely make a jump by using the corner of a block also felt pretty cheap. Great visual and sound design especially for a jam game though, and the whole game overall had the fun factor down perfectly.
Seious feedback here! (I know it's a jam game, but)
-It often feels unfair. I'll explain in the next points
-Block seems inconsistent. I expect to be completely invincible during block, but for some reason it often allows arrows and sword hits to penetrate
-Spike traps are bullshit. You shouldn't've included them. The first time you meet one is in the end of a level, so when you fucking die you have to redo the whole thing
-Platforming is ass: 1) you lose height when jumping right next to a wall, thanks to Unity's physics system
2) Level design is weird and inconsistent (sometimes you barely make the jump while other times you overshoot and die)
3) The unnesessary buildings within reach are distracting. I died a bunch of times on the first level, trying to jump to an almost reachable block, thinking there was an easter egg somewhere
-Why adding weapon throw in the first place if they're only really used in one level? Really could've explored this idea further. (I ended up endlessly throwing my sword like a fucking Kratos and destroying enemies from distance. Though sometimes the sword just randomly flies off the map softlocking me)
-You should've added at least some checkpoints (for example on pickups). It feels really frustrating when you die and have to RE:RUN the whole level
And most of the time you die from some buggy bullshit, which can be very frustrating
I really believe you should've focused on quality over quantity. I completed the whole game, but 95% of players will just die a bunch of times on some stupid thing, quit the game and leave a bad review
Anyways, I should say despite all the bad things listed above, overall the game is not that bad and even fun sometimes.
Music is good, stone textures/normal maps look pretty nice and I imagine if you find a broken strat to each level it can become pretty fun. The rewind thing is also cool, killin backtracking!
I know it's not the purpose of the game being balanced but i would say that:
Swinging the sword it's quite useless, due to it's slowness and probability that you and your enemy hits each other at the same time
Blocking as well is not very useful, you have to wait all the time before your opponent swings another time, just like holding the shield in dark souls, just a waste of time.
The meta in this game is throwing the sword: fast, a lot of range, a lot of damage, and you can even take your weapon back.

is this a gaming game?
Excellent game, but there's a problem: the level time will get overwritten each time you play (it should show the best time).

Did he release the game before he made a video on it? Weird
it is a gamejam submission, you expect him to montage the whole thing and then submit the game. He would miss deadline.

Dunk
So, Dani, at the end, all I want to say is...
K a r l s o n 3 D r e l e a s e w h e n ? ? ?
if he polish some things and make more levels and story, this could be a fully-fledged steam release too
lmao just get good skrub
This game look kinda THICC

Other than this the game is a lot of fun.
