I didn't quite grasp the controls, when and why do you attack? It felt as if there was too much delay from pressing the mouse button to something actually happening, and I missed some audio feedback. hm.

For some reason it took ages for things to show up for me to attack.

It's a little prone to issues. Had trouble booting it up.

Interesting concept. It ran for me (on Windows) but I'm afraid I didn't really understand the combat mechanism. Also it seemed that there were sometimes really long gaps between anything appearing. That said, it's an interesting mechanic so well done.

Very interesting concept. I really like the visuals. The game was a bit slow for me (gameplay, not fps), but maybe its inteded to be slow paced, or I was doing something wrong. All in all cool game!

Nice game, I didn't understand too much at the beginning but I enjoyed it :P.

Maybe a bit of music will improve your game and make me play more :)

Had to wait a long time for other things to show up.
