The 13th Century was a chunk of time during which, according to Wikipedia, pretty much only war happened. In this game, you play a pacifist who’s just trying to survive. While a bunch of enemies attack you, your goal is to simply parry their attacks.
\nI know it’s meant to be hard but I’ve got -2000 points and I don’t know if I parried correctly even once

\nOn my desktop, the game ran at double speed (120hz monitor), and was impossible. So it ended up mostly unplayable for me.

\nI found all but the first few levels to be pretty much impossible, as you only have a split second to move the mouse. Maybe upcoming (next) attacks could have a fading in outline, so the player can plan their next steps if they are paying attention; or, a successful parry should slow down the next attack, so there’s a reward for managing to parry.

I loved the dual wielder, and was almost expecting to come across some that weren’t parallel.
\nI even see potential for a multiplayer game with a sort of “Attack”/“Parry” multi-step round where you setup attacks for your opponent to Parry while they do the same for you, then you get to Parry each other’s sequence. Just an idea I had while playing, how to play with others.
\nI did want a bit more precision in my ability to set the direction, like perhaps click and drag to set hilt and tip, or maybe a big/little swing like Q/E for big swing and A/D for small adjustments or something, but I’m also not very good at arcade style games.

Graphics are basic but the game concept is original and the game play is really fun! I liked the diversity of the enemies but sometimes it seems too difficult to beat them.

\nIt would be nice if the sword could be rotated all the way.
\nI liked having different enemy styles, it adds variety to it.

Would have been nice to have some wind up animations or something so I could get in position.

\nI liked the sound effects. The game concept was good.
\nYou need to be pretty quick with the mouse to get a reasonable score.

\nWhat an incredible concept!
\nI found it super interesting and got quite excited to beat my score every time.\nI like the fact that there’s no “losing” just a bad score, so you keep going and don’t feel like you have to stop.
\nTry thinking of those who don’t have a qwerty keyboard (yes there are!) maybe adding support for arrows would have been nice.
\nI would have maybe added a level 0 - tutorial, where you can actually take the time to place your sword and understand how to rotate it.
\nOtherwise, sick job!

Parry is a visually appealing game that is relatively quick to grasp after playing a few times. Whilst quick to grasp, it is not easy - making it very addictive.
\nIt would be great to see a skippable game play tutorial incorporated into the game play as the first round.
