Looks beautiful, but I couldn't figure out the mechanics. I could only get one random victory, out of several tries, and I still can't say why I won.

@BradleySmith @Foxtacy
TY. That's just was possible because we have good artists on the group =)

@pvradtke
You must attack after your enemy lower his guard(The vulnerability frame is pretty small, so you need to pay attention on his moves).

Updated. I forgot the "unsheathe" SFX (the "vulnerability alert").

menu looked amazing, but the gameplay is lacking, wasn't sure where the challenge lies because I spam spacebar and win everytime.

Very beautiful! After get the hang of it is easy. Perhaps with a doge and a counterattack make the game more dynamic.

Grapichs and sound well made. Think the mechanics and gameplay need more work, but well made =)

Excellent, great graphics, music, sound and innovative mechanics. Gave me some ideas, I think a couple more kinds of moves would make the game yet more interesting.

Gorgeous game. The gameplay could get a bit more work, feels a bit random at first, but good game overall.

Beautiful game, but felt too short/simple. Also didn't really know what I was doing, just kinda guessed and usually won.

Good looks great but winning seemed a bit random.

I think the gameplay is too simple, and makes the game a bit short (some extra moves would be good). But nice work on the rest!

Very nice collaborative effort. Could be great if this was made into an arcade style game with a difficulty that increases after each victory. Great style, good music and sounds. Overall a fantastic idea (Brilliant game title too).
