The game had a very cool fast-paced feeling to it and was very smooth and responsive. Also, the feel of the sword swinging was excellent! The runs could get quite intensive at times, and I feel there's much potential for making more puzzle-like action scenarios within the levels.\r\rI do have one complaint when it comes to the controls though. The collision of the sword hitting enemies felt a bit off and random at times. Sometimes I didn't hit the enemies at all when I felt it should have, so that did cause a bit of frustration on the levels with a lot of enemies.\r\rAnother thing I found fun was the seemingly mix of feelings I got them the menu of the game versus the gameplay. The menu had a very sort of dark and horror-like music and graphical style going, while the actual gameplay seemed more colorful and the music more action-packed. Not really a criticism, just a note I found to be quite funny :)\r\rAll in all though, the game was very enjoyable. Good job!"},{"author_name":"Riley Hume","author_uid":"25263","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 1:52pm","epoch":1377524820,"text":"Fun game, but incredibly difficult due to the crappy hitboxes.
