This game was really cool, the graphics and audio design were truly beautiful. I loved lining up a bunch of the enemies in a single line and then just slashing them all at once, very satisfying. Controls did feel a bit clunky at times but I got used to it. A really great game!

The game is easy to pickup and play, good job

I really like the artstyle, its crazy to see the full work with concept art designs. The choice to give the player an extra attack with the burst of light attack is nice. I was pretty bad at the game and just wished I had more health. Overall solid game hoping you can reuse those designs elsewhere because they are phenomenal.

The controls feel a bit stiff since you can only attack when you're moving but it looks really nice and the overall ambiance brings it all together

The art is great, and it does a pretty good job at incorporating the theme. However the movement felt a bit clunky, and the gameplay concept didn't really stand out to me, seemed like a relatively typical top down beat em up. Overall pretty good though

Excellent art and sound! The cooldown after an attack and the freezing when using the ultimate attack (C) felt a little awkward, and I would've loved a way to heal up (if it was there I missed it), but you have a solid basic core mechanic that kept me entertained a while. Nice one!

The visuals are absolutely stuning. The mood is exceptional. Maybe the gameply a bit stiff but i mean look at the art and mood, love it!

Music is very cool ! I loved it ! Fun and intuitive to play. It's polish and in complet adequation with the theme. Congrats !

Cool and simple but my wasd was not working but I was moving with arrowa. Good work and interesting engine

That was a really fun game to play.

Cool game! Like others said, the movement felt a bit clunky with the animation pause at the end of a strike. If you stop just before an enemy it's pretty much guaranteed damage against you unless you can ult immediately. At some point there are so many enemies that my strategy became just lining up enemies then trying to strike them and immediately ult, which doesn't feel right...

But other than that, good job!

I love the visuals here, seeing your concept process on your game page is also really interesting. The animations were really cool, but I agree with others that taking damage because my attack ended right before an enemy can be frustrating. Maybe some iframes right after an attack could help? I enjoyed the core gameplay of kiting enemies into a nice line to maximize the effectiveness of my attacks, and the limited play space did work with that well. Also huge props for the sounds they were so good and felt so natural I barely even noticed them the first time they were just feeding the feel. My best score was 209 after a few attempts and getting the hang of the C attack.

Great game for a jam. The visuals and audio are fantastic. Cool use of the theme using light as limiting the space.

Two tiny bits of criticism
- I don't like that you have to be in the middle of moving to attack, though this might just be a personal preference
- the "Your Score" and the actual number sit on top of each other, making it a little hard to read.

Very cool project! Especially made from scratch!

Audio is absolutely stunning. Gorgeous, rich timbres that are a joy to listen to! I found the controls a bit tough to get along with and didn't get very far but I reckon that's more a skill issue from me rather than an issue with the game!

Damn, the art is fantastic. I love how you included the concept art and visual story of how you built the game in the description. Building the engine from scratch must not have been easy either!

Everything about this game screams blood sweat and tears, you can clearly tell that this game was worked on extremely hard and with care, the art, animations, music, sound effects, everything you could think of was spot on and absolutely gorgeous. The controls were a bit hard to get used to though, it would have been easier to control if WASD was movement instead of the arrow keys but that's just my preference since I suck at games that use arrow keys, but this was an incredibly well made and taken care of game and you all should be proud of yourselves for making this happen! Everything about the game is flawless and really immerses you into the game with the music and ambient sounds, this is one of the best submissions I've played this jam so far! Keep up all the good work you guys are putting in! 10/10 submission

The animations and arts are really cool. The music really set the mood for the game. I quite enjoy the control but I wish someone had told me I can only attack while moving. But still, I find the dash-and-slash really fun to play around with. Really love this game!

The game was really nice to play even if the control are a little bit junky and the score/resource is not really highlighted so it's a bit difficult to track it.
However it's small complains, overall the game is great with really nice art and music.

Nice atmosphere, easy to pick up, and it's definitely very satisfying to go through multiple enemies at once! I would really welcome walking with WASD, but that's just my personal preference. Otherwise good job, and very fitting music, I love to see Ableton!

A very interesting and pleasant game, cool animations and with a 4-star theme

挺有意思的动作小游戏，美术很有风格

Nicely done! I like the way that the play area is tied to killing enemies and using your c ability. Fairly brutal on the difficulty but I think that may have been what you were going for. Overall, solid game with good mood setting.

I see a lot of work on this! It has potential to be released as a full game.

Nice! It would be great to see an attack cooldown

Nice entry for your first LD! Very good graphs, nice sounds, but a bit lacking in terms of gameplay - maybe you should organize yourselves better next time ; with less polish and more focus on feel
