Way of the cuburai by comrad_gremlin

[raw]
made by comrad_gremlin for LD26 (COMPO)
You are the cuburai, last warrior left from the house of Cubamoto. The shogun has been killed and the assasins are trying to get rid of you.

Live by the code, die by the code!

How to play: Hit your enemies while rapidly moving past them! Don't stop, for being stagnant means being dead.

Good luck warrior.

Controls:
WASD - moving
1/2/3 - make choices / switch weapons
Enter / Z - start game
Enter / ESC - go to main screen after death
ESC - quit (from main screen)

It would be good if controls were stated within the game. It plays fairly well but it just seems rather basic and doesn't really interest me too much

The hitbox of the player's sword and the enemies' spears felt too small and unclear, but the levelups were fun. I like the rising sun background and minimalistic audio too.

Great game! Hilarious music! Movement feel is a bit lost, and upgrades not fast enough to my taste. Liked mechanics .)

I didn't understand much what I had to do at first, later it got fun. It's kind of like a samurai brawler.

It's quite fun once you get over the fact that those swords are so small!

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

Duly noted about the hitboxes: I've been trying not to make the game too easy, but I admit that I might have went too far with reducing the hitboxes.

It was ok, though I didn't really get the combat system, felt like I was waving my sword and hoping to hit.

Quite nice! note that if you up the max health, the hearts mix with the sun. Giving the sprite a black edge will solve this easily.

Had a lot of fun playing this and discovering all the upgrades. I felt like dying was my fault, so good design. My record is 60 kills (for now).
Really fun game!

Fun mood and audio.
I found it a bit hard to hit the enemy when I wanted and also to read the text.

Very hard, but very minimal!
