Hexblade

rad

I liked the game! Some things to improve on: 

• Rotated pixels, they don't look good.
• Undodgeable/almost undodgeable attacks.

I would remove the insta-kill sword, and replace it with a roll or something.

That would make the game more fun. Overall though, I enjoyed the game.

are you working on the second one or is it already out?

This was a very fun game! I definitely liked the polish given to the art and movement. Everything felt great when I moved around and performed attacks. However, I had some difficulty with the flying boss, and it felt more like a waiting game than anything else. The third boss was also beaten rather quickly by spamming certain attacks (I can't remember because I beat the game a few weeks ago). I do see that this is a work in progress though, so I'm looking forward to any updates!

hello, when i open the game, it says "successfully updated icons for the following executable files: win32/hex blade.exe
win64/hex blade.exe" can you please help me fix this? thank you.

I agree with what ttrrrt said but also I still understand that this fame is a work in progress but overall its a really good game 

hey dev could make controls customizable

PLEASE I NEED HELP I CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TOO BEAT THE 3RD BOSS

lol so awesome

Even though the art is impressive and the whole game has a nice arcade vibe. I just found the flying boss with the tentacles as more of an annoying encounter than something enjoyable. Especially as he was just sticking up in the air all of the time shooting lightning bolts and I had no way of reaching him than dodging these extremely easy to dodge lightning bolts and waiting for him to come down. 
It's definitely a boss fight I would be fixed on going through if I was interested in figuring out what's going to happen next- but overall it was just frustrating enough to make me stop playing. 
Also, I hated how the Jump button was on the Z button instead of the up button. 

Love this game!! The art is amazing, and I had a great time playing it

how do you even attack the purple mewtwo squid creature on the 3rd level 

When downloaded, this pixel-art game was somehow using 80% of my cpu at all times.

The game was running so slowly I was able to dodge boss attacks much easier, is this how it feels to have the sharingan?

very good, i loved the game, congratulations to the devs

All fights were like boss fights. Impressive retro style.

Just released my playthrough of this game! Super cool, really enjoyed it. There are some small things I would change - i.e. sfx of the sword attacks - but overall really solid. It would be really cool to see this fleshed out as a full game.

Anyways, here's the video: 

Bonito

I liked the concept of the game, very interesting, it will have a DEMO mobile version of the Game?

Fun little game! Looks and plays nice, though a little on the easy side.

Interesting gimmick with the hex blade (I haven't seen it before), but not very fun nor implemented well. This is a hack and slash game where the central mechanic is to punish you for hacking and slashing... huh? That's not fun. On top of that, the vulnerability window of most bosses (with the slight exception of the centipede) is so short you're in no danger of draining your curse bar even if you attack nonstop. So what's the point? You've taken very standard boss patterns with alternating periods of vulnerable/invulnerable, but those patterns are completely at odds with your central mechanic.

I think a better implementation of this idea would be if bosses took fewer hits to kill, but missed attacks would hurt you. I'd also make bosses more difficult to hit. This changes the dynamics to playing very defensively/evasively, trying to get in close to sneak single hits here and there.

The escape sequence was fun and unexpected too, though a bit too short to be worthwhile. It was over before it began!

I love this!!! Absolutely love this.

I DID IT

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

SCREW THE GIANT SWORDS

SCREW THE TIME LIMIT

the sky knives and lil knives are manageable

great game

would like a bit more health tho

Nice game, the pixel art is beautiful, and I loved the retro style, The combat heavily reminds some good retro games, and I had a lot of fun fighting the bosses.

A few problems that really annoyed me:

• the rolling ability (this might have a bit of personal taste), which sometimes when I was trying to dodge an attack, and if I pressed the jump key before crouching, the player just jumped into the enemy attack, making me die in a very dumb way ):

• the lack of anticipation in some of the final boss attacks. Like, I’ve found myself dying twice, just needing to hit the swordmaster once to finish the game. Where, when I jumped to attack him, a floating knife spawned out of nowhere, literally 1 pixel by my side hitting me, just to out of nowhere, ‘again’ a giant sword spawns right below me, and to make it even worse the freaking sword started chasing me… I had some hard times dealing with that giant floating sword thing.

That’s it, the final boss is very fun, and I can’t complain about the attack variety in some of the bosses, especially because of the time constraint. All I can say is that you did a great job!

Alias é bem legal achar mais devs Brasileiros talentosos, boa sorte com seus proximos projetos (:

Great game! I have to point out some glitches though, Boss 4 frequently gets stuck in the air & while this isn't usually a problem one of the two times I experienced this it made me lose automatically after a while, secondly when you die on Boss 5 & retry Alastor faces away from the blademaster when the dialogue starts for no discernable reason.

wery nice and biutifull game !!!

Can u plis add it to Mac

Good game. Boss 3 and Blademaster I didn't worry about attacking because there's no time to attack several times in a row (or at least I didn't figure out how). Could you put the sum of the bosses' time at the end? It can be an incentive for speedrunners. Congratulations! 
This is my video playing your game.

Really good game, I like the difficulty curve.

Here's a critic if you want it, I hope its not too long.

This is a great fun little game so far. The gameplay is simple and easy to learn, and the art is well made. But I do have a few nitpicks. I'm sure others have brought it up, but the controls are kind of wonky.  Id recommend something like this: 

MOVE/CROUCH/JUMP: W,A,S,D or arrow keys

ATTACK: mouse 1

 PAUSE: esc or enter

I also have a few nitpicks on the bosses and gameplay, nothing  that ruins the experience just little things. The first boss could use a little more variety in attacks instead of just the 2, or at least making one of them more interesting. I was thinking, maybe instead of just a stomp attack, he could jump to the other end of the room and his landing causes the shockwave. I have no complaints about the 3 summoned bosses. And for the last boss, the only issue I had was with the knives. I like the idea of having a pestering attack that makes it harder to deal with the other attack, but the knives are too hard to dodge to be a pestering attack, as well sometimes id be mid jump and a knife would form in front of me or on top of me with no warning, giving me no chance to dodge.  maybe there should be some sort of effect showing where a knife is going to spawn, or when the knives spawn in, they should have a fixed direction instead of locking onto you, but spawn in more often, as well as doing less damage. And my final complaint is on the sword's curse,  once again I like the idea, but the bosses usually only gave long enough openings for 1 or 2 attacks, kind of rendering that mechanic pointless, maybe the curse bar could fill up quicker or it could reset slower.

parry ability might be cool

Seems fun, I didn't get too far because using keyboard B settings in Brave browser it keeps opening bookmark tab -_- 

might consider switching attack and jump to more neutral keys like L & K or something. Looks good besides that! 

Fun game! My only complaint is that the knives in the final boss were super annoying, and kinda ruined that fight. In the full version you should prob change that attack.

For some reason I cannot slide. What should I do? 

really wanted to play it but the controls are absolutely terrible
