\nMade it to level 6 where an ememy with a sword killed me, would have been nice to have a chance against them, needed some upgrades maybe :D
\nScored high on innovation as you never see this type of game.

It is a bit too hard to collect the items (sometimes you get two swords but you don’t have an armor), and this is where I wished people would exchange items in the shop.

\nUnfortunately, there are some minor drawbacks:
\nYeah, I noticed that sometimes when I was playing I could get far in the game while still having a very basic sword, which made the game too hard. I hoped this would serve as an incentive for people to exchange items through the NEAR store, but that didn’t happen.

I was expecting to be able to steal the armor and swords of the defeated.\nReally nice graphics, atmosphere and animations. Would be nice to be able to use just the keyboard instead of having to change to the mouse to click on buttons.

In the development version I had keys that would instantly defeat the opponent, go to the next opponent, etc. It didn’t disturb me during development, so I missed that.\nAbout stealing the items from the defeated, you actually can do that. If you defeat one opponent there is a chance that one of their items will drop and you can pick it up. The only thing you can do in the NEAR store is to exchange the items you collected with other people. So I would say it limits the playability. It easens it, or enhances it.

The gameplay is nice and simple but the starting enemies are a bit boring to fight since they mostly just stand there. It’d be nice if the opening levels were more fun to play since you have to start over when you lose. Hiding a major mechanic of the game behind NEAR is unfortunate, but it is what it is.

But maybe it would have been better if I had estimated the level of the player based on their items and started from a slightly more advanced level directly. Thanks for the feedback!

\nI played through a couple of levels where I managed to defeat the enemies without any upgrade and suddenly I get one-shotted by someone.
\nHaving to use NEAR shop limits the game massively.

It is just there in case you want to exchange the items with other players. Sure, it makes the game a bit easier cause sometimes the items you expect don’t drop for very long time, but it was supposed to be part of the challenge. Thanks for the feedback!

\nI didn’t want to create an account to access the in-game shop, so it became extremely challenging to progress past a few enemies. I don’t blame the game for this design decision, but it does make it more difficult to appreciate the full game.
\nThe AI sometimes seems unresponsive. At specific distances, the enemy will idle until the player approaches or attacks.

\nThe fighting mechanic is good, although feels a little jerky.
