2.5D was great, the double-tap turn based thing was a little strange and in general it wasn't as much fun as it appeared, it was pretty laggy in the WEBGL also. Really great job with the production of it all 3.8/5

This game is beautiful. The art, the music, everything. The switching mechanic is also really cool. The parry is difficult though.

Thanks a lot for the kind words!

There Def needs to be some kind of balancing for the parry mechanic...I'll figure something out.

Thanks for the feedback!

A good game with its own style, dynamic music and gameplay! It’s a pity that Web JL lags and I can't complete the round, I'll try on another device later

The game kinda does break when performance isn't stable...

But thanks for checking out the game and the feedback!

Oh, it's not running? That's weird. (You can't use mouse in the main menu...only W S and Enter)

We didn't upload the windows build because we ran out of time ( we submitted this 3 minutes before deadline 💀)

The gameplay are fun, it pretty simple but the switch powers mechanics is nice. The visual look nice too, the background with the smoke effect looks really cool, The stick figure animation look cool too. The bosses are challenging but fair.

The power switch is a bit slow but its fine, tho unfortunately I meet the frost ball insta death glitch twice, so I basically skipped the whole speed fight...

But still, cool game!

Ah the frost ball glitch can be avoided if you shoot from a distance lol (maybe you can give the final boss another try using level selector:)

Anyways Thanks for playing!

Great visuals, especially the backgrounds. This is totally my opinion but this game could be really amazing with faster paced combat.

Thanks for playing and the kind words on the visuals!

The fastest the combat gets is in the final boss. It does feel too slow in the first 2 bosses.

Anyways, Thanks for the feedback!

Nice game! I really like the aesthetic and how the bosses have personalities to them. The music is also really good, and the last boss really felt like a last boss when he declares that he can go all out now. I liked the implementations of the abilities, and while the reflect ability is clearly the focus of the game, the bosses are well-designed around you getting the next ability.

If I could comment a couple of things, the transition when changing powers sometimes felt a bit... slow? Like, I change to flight, press space, but sometimes it feels like it takes longer to fly than others, but it may be just me. Also, is there a reason why you can't sprint when using Frost? Is it for balance reasons, since Frost gets the combo attack? You can sprint when using both Reflect and Flight, and it felt jarring changing to Frost and not being able to sprint, because I would shoot at Speed, freeze it, then try to run to land a combo aaaand... I'm walking. 

Other than that, the game feels great, really good job!

It makes me so happy that you saw the game till the end!

Maybe we have to change our transition animations as it is quite slow.

For flight it might be coz we have press and release for flight. (or maybe its because there is a hitstop before flight is done)

And yea frost wasn't given the ability to sprint coz we thought that would balance the game (it probably is way too unnecessary honestly, we will def buff the player a little bit if we ever update this game!)

Thanks a lot for the feedback! (Honestly these were the words that I really expected to hear lol)
