What is this annoying immortal umbrella with tongue?

could you possibly give some I frames after blocking an attack or make it where the enemies don't just keep swinging one after another since if there is enough them you get stuck blocking and parrying until you eventually die

great game with so many combos. I rlly like the shield mode personally.

Yeah. The sword throw indeed is buggy.

First, if you have already thrown your sword away, when kicking-parrying the enemy's attack, the sword will still be shown on your hand. However, the execution parry can not be carried out. 

If the sword dance was executed a lot of times in a crowd of people, when it struck someone, it would disappear, and you'd no longer be able to get it back again. However, if you kick-parry, the sword will still appear in your hand... and somehow the execution can still be activated? So it's either in a state where the system thinks that you still have the sword, but you can't use it except for parrying... or that the system thinks that the sword is thrown; however, that conflicts because there is no sword on the field, so you can't use your sword except for this way?

Too confusing, really.

Okay, the sword throw does have a lot of bugs.

I was just playing around with it, but now this time, if you strike an enemy, and quickly jump on top of him, blood will appear, and the death animation will start, but it would be quickly overwritten by the animation that the enemy plays when you jump on top of them. I wonder if this is caused by an animation overlay or replacement that results in the enemy swordsman living... or it's just that the jumping animation or the [being jumped] animation resets the cooldown to reclaim your blade, so the enemy no longer is being struck by the blade...

Hm, quite intriguing, I'll play around with the sword throw more.

Game is excellent, I would say one of the best fighting games I've played so far...

However, due to my continuous effort,  I have encountered 1 bug. 

This bug is interesting. When throwing your blade, and recalling it, whatever enemy can be hit by the recalled blade. However, if the enemy turns around at that exact frame, the hit will be registered... however, the enemy will not die. So your sword will be stuck to the enemy until you touch it. However, I do not know what will happen now using Sword Dance or Recall, because I touched my sword quite soon. This is a very interesting bug, and I suggest you look into it...

Anyway, thanks.

PLEEEASEEE ADD THE CONTROLS BACK IN THE DESCRIPTION I JUST CAME BACK TO THIS GAME AFTER SIX MONTHS NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIND THE CONTROLS BECAUSE IT WON'T SWITCH TO THE ATTACK CONTROLS WITH ESC

THIS IS SO SICK!!!
Can't wait to see the finshied result!

will this be on steam? Ive been following this game for a while and it would be nice if I could get it on ther

First time playing in ages, first try in survival with the new build - 11 kills. Not a bad start, but it's gotten much harder since I first played - in a good way! Also the animations flow beautifully now! Feels super smooth. Definitely lots of room for me to improve at the game in its current state, though xD

The new update has definitely improved the flow of combat, although the enemies' aggressiveness tends to lead to them all attacking at once forcing me to spam the Defend button, and pray one of them doesn't get me. The flow definitely got better, although I feel like the cannons could be reworked, as they rarely but still can get the best of you if you happen to get the bug where audio doesn't play for an attack.

Afterthought: One mechanic that might be nice is a framefreeze on a successful parry, since currently the enemies bunch up their attacks all after the other, so having time to recognize them attacking instead of spamming defend and praying for a success might be a helpful change

I loved the demo, I'm considering  buying the full version. Adding it to my collection!!!

so i just stumbled upon this (and only played the browser version cause im a cheapskate) but this game is realy, REALY, good. the combat has a rhythem to it that i am far from mastering and the move set feels very deep. one minor quibble i do have is that the cannons feel a bit "sink or swim", i think id prefer it if they were a less common spawn. but all in all i realy like it!

The new cannons are hard to fight against, and the perfect parrying  window of a cannon is hard to accomplish when multiple enemies can attack at the same time.

When you get the rebound just right...

It's also fun if you throw the sword and it lands on the ground, then you hold the throw button for a half second, and the sword does a little flip and bounces towards you xD

Feedback on sfx:

-Heartburn hit sound doesn't play consistently, and when it does, it sounds like a hit with a sword, not like a heart ripping punch (I think it's the same audio from the focus thrust).

-The beheading strike, the split attack, and spin attack, all have clash sounds which play no matter what. Hit the enemy guard? Sounds normal. Hit their flesh? Sounds like they blocked, even as their death animation plays. Miss completely? Still sounds like someone blocked it.

-The sound effect for a kill with a basic attack (combo or aerial) sounds more like paper being torn than flesh being cut. This is oddly, slightly less noticeable in the survival mode than in the training area (because of how the sound interacts with the music).

-Obviously, some things are still missing sfx. Kicks, level 2 flame, 

-The hit sounds for the focus thrust, running slash, and anything but the first hit of the spinning slash, are really good. So are the blade clash sfx, when they play at appropriate times.

Update feedback: I like the music! Indoor music sounds chill and thematic. The survival music is a bit rough around the edges. It feels like you could do with volume control though (more important once there's sfx to go with the music, so you can balance them against one another).

Also, there's still a bug where you use 1 to pause then hit escape and it unpauses.

So... more desktop version weirdness. Both of these, I've tested on the web version and confirmed they're exclusively happening on desktop.

-The 2nd attack in the combo still passes through 0-block enemies without killing them. This was an old bug, still happening consistently.

-If you land all 3 hits of your own combo on an enemy, and it doesn't break their guard, there's a 4th "ghost hit" on them after they get knocked back. Sometimes, it hits multiple enemies if they're close together.

And a fun one which happens in both versions:
-Activate level 3 divine flame, while at least one enemy is still in a death animation, and get a firefly.
-Get killed while the ability is still active, which makes it vanish.
-Resurrect, because you got a firefly.
-When the timer should run out on the level 3, you collapse as if it's still going.

I also had it glitch out once after triggering this bug on desktop, where the next time I summoned the level 3, the timer didn't trigger. Doesn't seem consistent on this, though.

Oooooh!
This does feel a little OP rn, but cool!

So while experimenting with parries and fighting with the weapon sheathed... I realised a well timed attack as you're parrying will perform its own unique follow-up which has the same diagonal cut kill animation as the (missing on the downloadable version) second combo attack.

So all the combo attacks have a second way to get the same kill animation.

this is fun. this is cool. I like this

here's proof of my pretty cool accomplishment, i even made the last kill a focus sheath attack, and I almost died trying to get it

here's a haiku: ¨was bored today so I got a thousand kills. I could have gotten more.¨

the unfinished 3 fire fly move has screwed me over a couple of times now, I suggest removing the ability to do it while it is unfinished so it doesn't activate on accident, btw my best is 180, this game is so freaking cool and i cant wait to see where it goes, it feels so nice to just cut down hordes of enemies

Fun trick.
Press 1.
Press esc.
Opening the menu while paused unpauses.

what are all the death animations and what moves do you need to do to get them? i kinda wanna be able to choose what happens to each enemy to keep it fresh and less repetitive

when i have 3 fire flies and i focus and use flame attack, i just drop my sword and do nothing, is there anything more to it?

Best result so far on the new update. I'm liking the new changes, takes a lot more effort to stay in the fight!

After some experimentation...

Sheathed blocks and parries don't have their own unique animations, but they look smooth coming out - it's just the teleport back into the sheathe that looks wrong. Could be fixed by triggering the weapon drawn state when successfully blocking or parrying an attack.

Also, getting kicked with your weapon sheathed still uses the animation where the weapon is out.

Tip: You can revive if you have a firefly and press divine flame while you die. Please don't remove the player's ability to jump on people

It's starting to feel like I can choose a kill count at which I'm happy dying... I may be playing this too much xD

I found a bug.

When I slice the enemies in half and kick it, they returned alive instead of them losing their bones

These dudes don't wanna leave them skin lol.

Current feedback:

Shift+down feels a bit too strong. Decapitation can be ducked by enemies, thrust can be blocked, but the down slash is a guaranteed kill if you're in range, and you can follow up with a kick to stun an enemy behind the one (or sometimes 2 or 3) you killed.

Bath is broken. No haiku timeout. Can't get past the door. It opens, but doesn't let me through.

Bowing is cool. Phoenix and dragon attacks are cool. All the animations are cool. Enemy block animations are cool. Kicking skeletons out of enemies is cool. Game is just cool. xD

Really looking forward to the addition of music/sounds, cleanup of the spawn mechanics, and hopefully further improvements to the combat system in the game.
