That's a really good first game ! I hope you'll do more of them 'cause this has a great potential !

Good job and good luck on your future games.

Wow, really good for a first game, well done.

My only gripe was I couldn't tell if I was damaging the boss, but I stuck it out and defeated my demons and got that cute end screen so it was worth it.

Can't wait to see how you'll improve!

Ah, so both the player and the enemies lunge towards their target when they use their swords. Interesting. Since this is the first game you've made on itch.io, I'd say you're off to a good start. 

I liked the sprites animations, that slash animation is really well done. 

Damn fine job, especially for your first ever game! I enjoyed the retro aesthetic and little details like the way the character follows the crosshairs around the screen with their head. I couldn't seem to get the dodge to work for some reason. Obviously some music and SFX would have added a lot, but I know there's always a time crunch. I would have also liked to see a score counter so I could keep track of how many demons I slayed. :)

That was nice! I really like how the character dodges. Its fun! Great job!

I like the rythm of this game, it's a satisfying game in my opinion! 

Too bad there's no sound, but hey, this will be probably be the case for your next game! 

Good job for your first game and good luck for your next projects :) 

For a first game, this is pretty great! The combat is fun, it really sells the idea of slide-slicing past enemies samurai-style. You could always go for some more horror elements, but as a fun gameplay-focused game, I had a good time!

It was fun, Just like in real life my demons won. 

This is a really great start, with nice pixel art and an attack mechanic that feels great. I'd recommend adding some more feedback for when the player gets hit, maybe a particle effect, and I'd definitely add in some sounds for the auditory feedback. Nice work and keep at it!

Hey, not bad! I really liked the sprites, looks like you put a lot of work into them and they turned out great! Great animations and the controls were responsive and felt good to play.
