The game is pretty cool, the art is retro adn cute, the aniamtions are very well and done and the sounds help with the retro or SNES game fellinf the game has. 

It would be cool to see the idea developed a little more in the future, maybe give it an story (and maybe, this is just an idea of mine, make the sword be alive, so it's an actual character, maybe something like it's kind of your buddy but it's cursed to also be your enemy). And obviously some stuff like new levels, mechanics, and some use for the money you gain, like maybe upgrades or abilities, or maybe getting money is How you progress in the game.

In general is a very simple but fun game with good pixel art and good sfx and music for a jam game, the only gripe I have with the game is that, to me atleast, the sword should not move directly where the player was standing, but instead move forward a little bit so have a little bit more of time to move and ti also gives the sword a felling of weight. Also i personally found it difficult to move in the level because having to dodge the archers while dodging the GIANT sword is kinda hard.

Hope this bible of text helps you! :)

Thanks for the feedback!

There were plans for upgrades and new mechanics purchased with the money, but I didn't have time to implement them during the jam (if you notice, you'll see 3 squares in the menu, they would be the item locations).

I intend to work on and develop the game as soon as I can, with new levels and refining the mechanics.

Suggestions are always welcome! :)

I think that aside of a good gameplay for a death stranding-like game, as i said, developing a good story is very important (atleast to me) in this kind of games, since it gives both context and a motivation for the player to progress, i though the sword being alive idea since that way one of the main mechanics of the game becomes a partner in your journey, though he is also an enemy!

Something cool i though about the story, if you use the idea i told you, is that the story could be about you and "your sword" being cursed but since he is technically your partner, you are collecting money to somehow break his curse.
