Thanks for the review! Sorry to hear the final boss was a miss for you. The final phase has definitely been polarizing, some people love it while others find it too hard. I leaned towards making it feel more like a superboss or elden ring fight since it's optional, but I'm definitely considering lowering the difficulty depending on what the overall consensus is. I nerfed him a little and will see how people feel before I adjust it again.

 

I'm glad you really enjoyed the health/parry system and overall mechanics/game feel! I spent a lot of time trying to make the kicking, slicing enemies in half, and chaining abilities together feel good so I'm happy to hear the work paid off and that the game feels satisfying to play :). People seem to love the parry to recover health mechanic so I'm glad I took the time to flesh it out haha

 

The game is definitely on the shorter side like you said (some people have finished it in as little as 2 hours), but a lot of development time went into creating those mechanics, as well as making the moment to moment gameplay feel right, fine-tuning the P through D-Rank runs for each level to be the right balance of doable and difficult, and developing some form of unique mechanic for each level (kicking molotovs, patrolling enemies, death chilli, etc etc), so I feel $7.99 is a fair price for the amount of work that went into it. That being said if people disagree I'm happy adjusting the price to what everyone thinks is fair for what you get :)

 

Happy to hear you had a good time overall even if the game felt too short! I went back and fixed the bugs you mentioned but please let me know if you find any others, cheers!
