The music in this one is really good, and I liked the stylized visuals. There's still a lot of work to be done in terms of responsiveness and the collision checking. Also, you said that 'x' is the attack key, but for me I could only get the attack to trigger with 'z'? And even then it didn't work much of the time. The workings of a pretty cool game are here, but it needs a lot more work.
I'm having trouble running the HTML5 version or even downloading a Windows build. Please @ me if you can fix it or host somewhere else so I can check out your game!
Thanks for fixing that, I gave it a go. You've got some very nice art and audio. Unfortunately, I found the controls a little tricky. I mainly just had a really hard time getting the attack animation to trigger. It spoils the fun a bit when you can't tell whether you'll be able to hit an enemy in time. You can definitely tell some good work's gone into it, but maybe your time would have been better spent refining the core mechanics before adding more enemy types? Overall, good job though!
Controlling the guy is very awkward - waiting for the animation, moving while attack, sometimes it just didn't attacked. Music is bad and annoying. Gfx are almost acceptable. BTW, empty options screen? And can push buttons after start.
Hey, not a bad start at all! A lot of good fundamentals to take farther in your game dev journey. Definitely some issues with controls & combat, mostly had trouble feeling like I couldn't attack when I wanted to, so I'd just have to spam [Z] and hope it worked.
Good job. I used the "z" key for my attack as well. If you are going to use the "z" key I would recommend not using "a" and "d" for movement. It doesn't feel very comfortable on the left hand. The animation for the attack had a bit of a delay. It requires the player to take that into account.
Nice game! I had some issues with the attack not responding to the input and the camera following the player from behind (instead of showing more information about what's coming), but overall it is a good submission. Congrats!
Reminded me a lot of Rogue Legacy in artstyle and mechanics. As others have said, the controls were quite awkward and the attack had a weird delay. otherwise a cute little entry. good luck!
I like the music! As some others have said, the attacking feels weird (there's a delay between pressing Z and attacking, and sometimes it doesn't attack at all). The levels and graphics are nice. Good job!

I would suggest hosting your game for free on itch.io and joining a large community of creators and players!
