The fighting, however, is so very fluid. [...]

I agree with you any time is a good time for feedback, but some people react a bit defensively when they’re given feedback in their early stages (which I’m sure I’ve been guilty of as well at times), which is why I was a bit hesitant. =)

I’m definitely gonna keep an eye on this project and read back in the devblog a bit when I find the time; seems like some interesting reads!

To be honest, we haven’t put much thought into the keyboard controls just yet. At this stage they’re still mostly debug keys. But double tapping is a good idea and I’ll keep that in mind when it’s time to make the keyboard controls feel nice and good. Like a shampooing from your hair stylist.

I’m not sure how the slo-mo is done since Matthew implemented that. I’ll try and get him to chime him or at least get some clarification.

And feel free to drop any thoughts at any point. It IS early, but that doesn’t make feedback any less invaluable. I appreciate you dropping a line!

I just wanted to leave some major kudos for the awesome visual style you’re pulling off here! It looks great!

Also, I was wondering if there’s any specific reason you chose for A and S to be dash, rather than double-tapping the arrow keys? I found myself tapping those a couple of times and having to remember there are separate keys for those actions.

Lastly, I noticed the slow-mo mode is a bit stuttery, which I’ve never experienced. I tend to change the timescale for similar effects and was wondering how you were doing it? More out of curiosity if anything. ;)

I know this is a very early build of the game, so please dismiss any of the above if you feel I’m addressing things way too soon; just thought I’d throw in my two cents. =)

Keep up the good work; looking forward to playing the final game!

You can strike 5 times, you can slam 5 times, or you can go back and forth between strike and slam however you’d like up to 5 hits.
