Can’t believe this is your first game/game jam – it played really smoothly for me and the combat had lots of good feedback. I especially liked the art style!
Pros:
"This game is very cool! The concept is engaging, and it's impressive that it was developed in just seven days. It's definitely enjoyable to play, providing great entertainment."
Cons:
"One thing I would suggest improving is to make it a bit livelier. Adding more dynamic elements or enhancing the visual and audio effects could enhance the overall experience."
Overall impression:
"Despite the minor suggestion for improvement, this game is a great achievement. It's fun and showcases impressive development skills. Looking forward to seeing future updates!"
