Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
There are no rewards such as leveling up, a skilltree or anything that improves your abilities making the game even more blant because you can buff up enmies only that much given you dont let the player upgrade any of their abilities or stats or weapon or whatever. -5000 points for not even coding a proper fullscreen windowed function. -500 points for using the exact same assets, graphics, animations and sounds as moonstudios did for their ori games. -50 points for leaving the game audio at 100% so players have to get ear surgery after starting up the game. -5 points for the extremly short demo that literally doesn't reveal anything of the game.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
Would definitely recommend looking into combat progression however as having the same two moves through the entire game can get a little boring.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
A nice little game, smooth gameplay, little short on the story but i feel like it could actually be nice if it was expanded upon.
8 of 116 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
- no controller support (a game like this has no specific keyboard benefit (no mouse use) and limited key use)
5 of 116 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
