Controls are far from intuitive to be honest. I'm playing on PC, swiping with the mouse to move is clear, but it's totally unclear what I need to do when attacking. Do I need to time it when I am hitting an enemy? Do I need to click as fast as possible when the red symbol appears? This really needs some more explanation.
Thank you for your honest feedback. we understand your concerns with the controls. The game was developed within a few days for the jam, and though we found the controls intuitive (OFC, after numerous tryanderror :P ), it's clear from your and others' feedback that they need refinement. Post-jam, we plan to improve this aspect.
To clarify, you should press the red button with the 'attack' kanji as quickly as possible when it appears. We realize the timing changes based on the enemy's distance, which can be unclear... need to think something else!
We appreciate your positive comments too and are glad you find the game promising!
