Super fun game! Loved the art, the movement, the secrets, and the boss was super satisfying to finally beat once I figured out the parry timing.

Thanks for your feedback. Very gloud you like it ^^

Congrats for this gamejam game duds !! The game feel is so good and robust. I have try to break it but is always smooth and juicy ^^). Also de music and of course the animations, art and colours palette are very very professional. On the other side, i  felt a little bit alone in the stages and missed to beat some enemies with my katana but i understand that is a jam game. In any case, I loved to play this game.

Gracias mozo!!

This is amazing! Please turn it into a full game!

The only criticism I have is about the keyboard controls. I didnt see any control settings and SPACE on jumb and C on dash is very challenging.

Very fun game and the animations are slick!

Thanks!  I agree, in the next version we should include a control settings. Honestly, the input programming was a headache during development, I have to improve that part for future projects.

Cool interpretation of the famicase cover! I like the style of it. Also, it makes me feel hungry.

Thank you!
