The Game is really nice and the animations and controls are cool. Its just a little hard but for just 1 week thats crazy. Maybe add some Effects

Thank you a lot for your kind words!
If you find the game hard i suggest to try blocking and attack enemies during their cooldown, you will have a nice opening there! Or the best and the fastest way is to hit a parry and go for the combo (Light Attack then Charged Attack)

I tested Linux build. It works. I was able to beat the game with keyboard. I was able to beat the first two enemies with the controller, square and circle on the SIXAXIS.

Thank you a lot!!
Happy to ear tha Linux builds are running fine!
May i ask what distro did you use (so that i can write it as the suggested one to run the game)
And did you find any problems with the mapping on the Sixaxis controller?

I used Gentoo, but it should work in others. I felt that the Sixaxis mapping was fine. I'd have preferred X and O as the mapping, but square and O were fine.

Nice work. Why don't you try speeding up the animations? It will really enhance the combat with a few tweaks!

Thanks for your feedback!
Many argued that the game was too difficult so i went for a speed that made everyone able to complete this small demo, when we update the game with all the new feature it will have enemies faster and stronger than others!

Nice game, can you give more life to the player?

Thanks a lot!
What do you mean with more life?

Cool concept but need to fix the juice on attack mechanic.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!
What do you mean with the juice on attacks? Missing sounds?

Cool nice game, great job in such a short time!

Thanks a lot! We really appreciate your words

Cool, neat combat system!

Thanks! I like how the combat system came out too, i'm really happy you enjoyed it, if it doesn't mind you could leave a rate for the game?

Thanks again for your kind words!
(We will keep updating the game in the next weeks adding a lot of content!)

Great vibes! Love the ps1 feel! :)

Thanks a lot!
