On a more general note, maybe you want to update your ld page to say that you uploaded a win32 build instead of source code. Also your `LIGHTING NEEDS TO BE REBUILD`.
Overall super cool game, impressive for a jam game! Great job!
I recorded some gameplay, is it okay if I upload it?
I did enjoy the main weapon being melee, but it was quite difficult to use the dash against the shielded enemies. Still the variety in attacks was nice.
Also very nice pun in the title.
I had time to see the visuals and animations look pretty nice and the character controller is smooth though! So eager to play!
I think you went a little over board with the motion blur, I think it's not very pleasent in the with all that camera wigglines.
But good job!!
The ranged attacks seemed too slow. The enemy attacks need to be clearer (amidst the weird camera movement, is hard to see it).
The level transition was too abrupt, tho we made the same mistake in our game (not much to complain hahaha).
The sound suits well. Good job overall tho.
