I totally love the intro sequence, so well made, I would suggest you make the background lighter so that we see more contrast with lineart, really beautifully made, the game mechanics are nice, the special effects specially shine so well and overal feels good, cool game overal!!

Hey There! 

I wanted to try and analyze every game in more detail, but unfortunately :( there's no time left for that, as there's only ONE hour left to vote, and there are still 200-300 games to go. So, my rating will be based on what I can see on the profile page (graphics, concept, description, etc.) to contribute a few points and help improve your chances! I'm not expecting a rating or anything in return since time runs out in an hour. It simply gives me peace of mind knowing that I was able to rate every game. :)

  Wishing you all the best! ;)

Very fun game, I loved that intro showing the witch! The visuals are very good and the gameplay is super fun. I like that there are multiple difficulties as well. Good job!

I enjoy the fast-paced action take your game has here. The simplistic cutscene at the beginning was suprisingly enjoyable as well!

I find the spinning attack to be quite hard to use because it'll always get me into attacks from bullets but the fire attack is quite strong. What ended up happening was I just relied on spamming attacks and never really used the spinning attacks that much.

Quite fun though, solid submission

Graphics, effects, and gameplay is all really fun! That dash mechanic feels really fun to play with, and combat just feels clean overall! I did run into a few audio issues though and at first I couldn't tell if the fire would hurt me or not. really great game overall!!

(PS: If you're willing to I'd love it if you can rate and leave some feedback on my game! This is my first ever jam and I'd love to see where I can improve for the future!)

Great game!

From the very beginning to the witch, everything was top class, an excellent introduction in the form of a cut-scene with sound, training and the boss himself with the witch. The only thing that confused me a little was the rather drawn-out battle with the witch, which turns from interesting into something monotonous

great use of effects and art style.

Hey! I really liked the visuals, and the opening sequence was beautiful. I also really liked the fact that it was narrated. The gameplay was really entertaining! The only problem was the visual pollution during the boss fight, too many special effects made it hard to see all the action.

Going from the intro to the game was... something.


Who was the VA for the intro?

The impact of the slash VFX was really nice, it actually felt like it had impact and made me enthusiastic in regard to attacking. I really think it has the potential to become a more improved game with some more variety and tweaks. I especially liked the intro art and end art, but I think the loud music and voice acting really got in the way. I tried the game both easy and impossible and impossible was just clicking thrice the time of easy mode with no other gameplay changes, in which the spin charge attack felt more like a consequence than something I had to think about using, my first thought process was “why use this to risk it all and deal tiny damage, when I can just spam the same damage with the sword in a safer distance?”. But when I unintentionally span into the wall, it span me into the other direction, and I managed to guard break the witch’s shield, it really felt good.

Very well done! I loved spamming the slash attack. I loved the camera movement, my biggest issue was that the game was so loud. I loved that there was spoken dialogue, but I had to mute the game because I found it to be deafening. The difficulty options were a really nice touch, not common in jams!

I really enjoyed my time playing your game! The opening sequence is so well done with beautiful art, and fully voiced too! The attack feedback is great, and the spinning feature is interesting while still being easy to get into.  Keep it up CocoLovesYou! =)

Decent game, the visuals work well for it.

The spin into to dash is an interesting mechanic, my biggest issue with it is how its easy to hit by the purple projectiles whilst spinning. But otherwise its an overall fun game with some cool mechanics.

The audio for me was a bit broken with lot of static and such but nothing that detracted from the experience too much.

Great job on the game!
I'm not a fan of the dev talking to us directly during the tutorial, I found it a bit immersion breaking. But otherwise the combat mechanics are fun and pack a lot of punch, the visuals are very nice and unique too !

What a great game!

The visuals are amazing, especially the hand-drawings for the cutscenes and the partricle effects.

The boss design are really cool, the stylistic difference between the first and second boss makes for a cool thematic shift. The voice acting is pretty good and even the tutorial is voice acted!

The combat is really unique and fun, while staying pretty simple. The story is also pretty interesting

When I defeated the third boss the game just froze on the cutscene, is there supposed to be something after that?

Cool game with a nice take on the theme! Nice to see voice acting in a game like this, and the drawings at the beginning and end were a nice touch. The aesthetic of the second stage was super cool, and the transition screen was very well done.
Found it a little hard to properly aim the dash attack coming out of the spin and got stuck on a few objects in the first level. Also was a bit confused by the instructions on the second level, since I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be fighting the boss or looking for a way to get away.
Overall though, nice entry! I enjoyed playing through it!

Glad you enjoyed our game!! that specific attack on the second boss was a challenge to get across properly, but we thought it played with the spin mechanics in a really fun way so we decided to keep it in. Thanks for playing the whole way through!
