First Cut

Very fun and very true to actual kendo fighting. I'm surprised no one has mentioned For Honor as the block/parry mechanics are virtually identical. I sensed a lot of inspiration from that game, in a good way. Keep up the good work!

woah, this is one of the best things I have seen recently! Great work.

plez make a mac build

This game is awesome! Is it still being worked on?

Yes, as already mentioned, this is  Bushido Blade in 2D. This is both good and bad. The good thing is playing BB was fun. The bad news is that your victory in most cases is just a random. But the game looks very nice and plays smoothly.

This game has a lot of potential and i can't stop playing. What would really top it off is either an online mulitplayer or a story mode.

i really like the game

what would make it better would be online play and a story mod

really good concept

Damn this game is good!

this game has SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!! add in an online multiplayer mode, whether it be direct connect or whatever and if possible a ranked system, and that would really turn this game into a masterpiece 

Challenging but very enjoyable. Had a great time playing.

We had so much fun with this one.

Thanks :D

I cannot stop playing. This captures sword fighting so vividly. The infinite mode is enthralling, i played until I could catch up to the AI in wins and maintain it. This is pristine.

holy fuck, this game is fun.

The art style is spot on, the feedback is spot on. 

I love how polished it is. Especially blood on sword and how it disappear after first attack

its a good game, i just wished i could play it online with my friends :O, i think you should add 3 different types of attack, basically were you point the sword, a bit like rock paper scissors but with skills, and also a stamina bar since vs the computer you can yust spam attack to win in lower difficultyes

First impression from gifs and a couple of videos I found was "it's basically Kiai Resonance with pixel graphics" - I was very wrong in that first impression. It's more like Nidhogg or Griefhelm combat, but even those aren't quite right to compare - this game's block/counter and dodge mechanics give it a distinctive feel. Sidestep dash animation looks a bit weird, and the flashy effect on blade clashes is a bit much (would be nice to turn that down/off). Overall though, it feels like a really cool game, great job!

Is this 2D Bushido Blade? Hell yes

I would literally pay like £10 for this game if it had multiplayer and was on steam, this has great potential and it looks stunning, it plays great and so smooth.

Hey I'll buy this game 25€ if you make a Linux build

This game is so breathtaking and somehow RELAXING! It has amazing pixelated graphics and smooth gameplay. the sounds and music are well picked that could really immerse you whilst playing.

Единственное что я понял , что я плохой самурай )).Игра супер

Really enjoyed this! Like the artstyle and the simple mechanics the game has.

In which programing language did you wrote this game?

if that game was on steam and it had an multiplayer option with network not just local it could be really great ı think you should think about that and if you can add one more mechanic to game for be much more challanging you could add if player dodges an attack after his dodge if her enemy can just block not parry juts block it could make game much more challanging and avoid the spam wins and make easier to win to the master difficult otherwise it takes like 5 min to kill one master ;-;

Very well made, sir!

This is incredible, dude. 

This game is so good, it looks like a spam=win kinda game but if you try that tactic on the master difficulty or even duel you will notice quickly you'll get your arse handed to you so quick you don't even know what happened ^^. It requires so much more tactic than you first see on first sight and it plays amazingly well. One tip for new players, don't back yourself into the corner, you'll have a bad time xD

please make this game available on OSX it looks so fun, great job!

This game is pretty fun (I played it for 2 hours straight after downloading) I'm not 100% sure how the fighting mechanics work though. Sometimes just button smashing seems to work better than tactics (might just be me).

Some ideas: a training mode (to help people understands the mechanics) and maybe having an option for changing the speed of the enemies (so you can see what they are about to do)

I'd give this a 9/10 

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS GAME.

this game is really fun and and hard to learn even the easy bot is pretty hard to kill but thats why its fun when you get that satisfing kill due to the games difficulty i would not recommend this for casual gamers because this game is really difficult and more focused on hardcore gamers i would rate this a 10/10

Hi hi!

I had a few of my friends try the game recently and they only had positive things to say about it. To give you an idea, one was surprised to hear that the game was free and the other played 500 rounds straight.

I also really like the few changes you made since my last comment. The extra safety of being able to block neutral attacks while charging your own makes the push mechanic viable when your back is against the wall (I'm pretty sure that was added recently. Otherwise I must have missed it the first time). This makes it easier to back up during the fight and helps avoiding spam-fests.

The visuals are still amazing and I'm excited for the new survival mode. My brother suggested having enemies come from the rear and being able to turn around. I'm presonally against it, but it's an interesting idea you might want to think about.

heyeyeyeyeyeyeyey! idea i know you have a school and game is free and also you have propably not much time... but listen. you could make something like stamina system. it will not only make fighting with bots impossible to spam but also give to it more strategic combat. the idea is that every attack will be slower than the other and to attack as fast as at the beggining you just stop moving for a moment.

what do you think? and feel free not to agree with me. this is your game and my idea needs some improments on your AI and lot of work. love your work <3
