it's playable, but it's too polished for something that needs a lot more work on first-principles, like the combat and platforming.

the wall-jumping and double-jumps feel terrible and too heavy.

the combat is too hard too play as it is intended. the best way to play is to wave-dash the sword up and down.
and don't mistake "too hard" as in "didn't want to get good", it's too hard because it's very arbitrary and abilities are needlessly strict (like jumping and time freeze).

the tutorial screen is misleading about what buttons actually do what.

the writing is passable, might be good.

the music is phenemonal, but might need to be played less in your face at base or median difficulty parts, ramping up for boss battles.
