Unfortunately couldn't play this one, the web version was somehow displayed cropped and I couldn't get it to fullscreen and the mac version doesn't want to start :(

Yeah sadly Safari doesn’t fully support WebGL2 and WebAssembly, but you can make the Native Mac version doing this command in the terminal:

chmod +x Merian.app/Contents/MacOS/*


(where i did write Merian you have to write the full game name or just press Tab for autocompletation in the terminal)

I hope this fixes the issue, let me know!

It was a bit difficult to figure out the parry timings and sometimes a single swing would hit twice but for 5 days its really great! + I am a sucker for any melee combat game ;) Well done!

Is normal to lose more than 1 heart when you are hit, the more near you are to the enemy the more damage you will take, you can even be one-shooted if you are basically face to face with the enemy, is a reminder to the player that a sword fight should always be playied at the proper distance using blocks (to spot the enemy openings during his cooldown) or parry

I actually play this game twice, at first I hate it because it's kind of confused and hard, but the second time I actually enjoy it, good job!

Nice concept! a little cutscene in the beginning of the game to explain what happen would be great. Used to play soulslike games so I understand how it played, and the game mechanic is already good. One thing troubling me a bit would be no sfx just like other mentioned, and the attack interval is a bit too long I guess(enemy).
