Fun but controls can be awkward

A fun game, i do wish xp drops werent random but it’s not the worst. The controls need to be polished a little bit, i find the joystick stops moving pretty often and gets me killed, also a dash button would be more intuitive than the swipe to dash

Has potential

Could be a decent game, but the dash mechanic appears to be intentionally poorly designed in order to encourage more ad watching. Pretty scummy!

New Favourite Game!

Brilliant f2p game, you can speed up your progress if you want but so much fun f2p!

Gonna be me new time killer without a doubt!

Response from developer

Wow! Thank you so much for the support and the kind words!! Regards.

Good game

But you need to make the dash usable, because it just doesn’t always work when it should so if you could make it a button or fix it that’d be great

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words and the feedback, I'll keep in mind! I apologize about the problem with the dash, I'll try to adjust it on the next updates to do it easier. Anyway, I would like to remember you that the dash has a cooldown (the color of the hair indicates when the dash is ready to use), and you can improve it to reduce the cd. Regards.

Dash…

Game seems decent so far… but that dash… took me 2-3 mins just to get it to work once in the tutorial… it is just bad… it never works! Worse yet, the bosses basically require you to dash; you know use the skill that NEVER works…

Fix the dash dev; it is breaking your game right now

I apologize about the problems with the dash. An update is on the way but I would like to tell you that the dash has a cooldown (the color of the hair indicates when the dash is ready to use) and you can upgrade it to reduces the cd. Regards.

Polished and Focused

My favorite of the genre. What sets this game apart is the polish and the (at least initially) more focused gaming.

Unlike many of the games that seem to have a huge assortment of in match upgrades but glacial upgrades between matches, this seems to have fewer options in a game but steady and powerful upgrades between matches. What powers it does have are clear, powerful, and impactful.

But the real plus is the gameplay itself. Rounds are tighter, usually 2-4 minutes long at the beginning, with clear and obtainable objectives. I don’t always have 20 minutes or more to see how long my character will survive, and the shorter matches make it easy to pick up and play as much or as little as you want.

Recommend the download, and spending a few bucks in game to support the developer.

Pretty good right now

It’s pretty good, I hope it get continued support and updates from the dev

Vibrant, Polished Gem

Thanks for making such a concise, wonderful game! Great minimalistic character and enemies. Excellent music. Vibrant, punchy effects. Satisfyinf incremental progression. Currently one of my favorite iOS action-RPGs. I love that the sword changes in appearance as it is upgraded.

I can't wait to make more progress and enjoy future updates.

Notes to the developer, for potential fixes:

I can't seem to consistently pull of the "dash" mechanic. This could have something to do with my technique. I can only get it to work by doing an exaggerated, forceful swipe all the way to the edge of the screen, which is not ideal for me. I have been ignoring the dash cooldown upgrade, because I rarely try to execute a dash, for fear of it not registering when I need it most.

Occasionally, my physical attacks go right through an enemy without doing damage. If this is intentional, a "miss" indicator would be helpful.

Additionally, my physical attacks often do damage when when my sword is not even close to hitting the enemies. I wish that the hitboxes were more closely-correlated to the exact path of the sword.

Finally, thanks again for making such a great game. I hope you find this review helpful and encouraging.

Hey David, I apologize about your feeling with the dash and the sword attack. Some users reported that the dash was activating accidentally and I had to adjust soon as possible but I have to fix better for everyone. About the problem with the physical attack I'll take a look and keep in mind for the next updates! Thank you so much for your feedback and the kind words! Regards.

Pretty fun

I wish the players hitbox were a bit smaller, and that the base player stats were higher, especially speed. Most of the time I end up dying before being able to get any substantial upgrades, because the beginning is so difficult

Thank you so much for the kind words and the feedback, I'll keep in mind! Regards.
