I enjoyed the game. It felt satisfying to play and I wish there was more. I enjoyed the art style and the sound effects worked well. I would recommend going back and looking through the introduction text since some of the phrasing was awkward and there were a few mistakes. Overall good job.

Whoah, the game have a really wonderful art style, It also have an almost extreme level of polish, really nice work here.
It also have the best tutorial that I've ever found in an LD game.
The mechanic is really nice, simple but addictive.
One little negative note is the huge increase of the difficulty level in the second-last world (it took me some time to figure out why I was suddenly losing).
Overall is a really awesome work, congratulations!

Very nice animations. It gives you the sensations of speed, energy, power etc.
The soundeffects fits very good with the dynamics, for instances when you made a combo, i stressed think "merde, I dont have to make mistakes" :D

Very juicy indeed. Slow motion was a cool touch. The combat could be a little bit deeper. Anyway, well done!

It's more like a rythm game than anything, but it's incredibly fun and quite challenging. The presentation is really cool, and aside some glitchy controls when you get faster, I really loved this game. Good job !

All the added effects made this game one of the best I have played. Very fun and hectic. The second to last level was a beast.

Great work on the overall feel of the game, the sound's pitch adjusting according to the combo was nice.
I think you may have mixed up "left" and "right" in the tutorial though!
I would've loved to have a short buffer when inputting a command, I often pressed keys too early for the game to register.

That is an awesome game!! That art style is dynamite! During gameplay, it didn't feel like the timer was speeding up, I just felt myself naturally speeding up with the speed of everything else around me, that is an awesome way to pull the player in! You should be proud of the project you threw together! I will expect to see this in the app store in a couple months :) Keep up the great work!

Nice little game!

The graphics are really cool and nice. And the tutorial is great and helpful.

The sounds when the energy becomes empty are a little bit to high for me and background music would be nice.

Well done!
