This game is plagued with numerous bugs. First of all, when you hold the arrow keys or [w], [a], [s], [d] the game disables the attack button, which may seem reasonable as it forces players to be more responsive. However, the running animation continues to play, and you can still hear the sword swinging sound, leaving you uncertain if you're dealing damage with each swing. Fun fact, you don't inflict any damage in this state, so it's important not to hold the movement keys while attacking. Another poorly implemented aspect is the dashing mechanic, which is riddled with glitches. I encountered two core problems with i. Firstly, if your hitbox dashes into an enemy or wall, you become stuck. This becomes especially frustrating in the first level, where the linear path includes a tower section. Often, you dash into a wall and get trapped, leaving you vulnerable to enemy attacks. The second issue arises when you're unable to dash after recently attacking enemies. While this function is intended to prevent spamming, the sprite performs the dash animation, plays the sound, but remains in the idle position, essentially allowing you to stand in one spot and dash without actually moving, wh…

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] "Death Slayer" is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] The developer ripped off a bunch of assets from other people and slapped his own name on them... unethical plagiarism. A serious accusation, so here's where the "developer" stole the title character from: the [url=https://clembod.itch.io/warrior-free-animation-set/devlog/188841/update-v12-warrior-free-animation-set]Warrior Free Animation Set[/url] that was really created by Clembod over on Itch. That's just one of many stolen game assets. The stolen/plagiarised assets were assembled badly into a completely garbage pixelcrap platformer, and as I keep saying, when developers lack the talent/budget to create game assets like they're supposed to, and plagiarise the work of others, they usually can't do the rest of the job either. This is a barely working, bug riddled mess as the developer couldn't work out how to properly use the Unity 2D platformer game blueprint he worked off. You'll get stuck in walls, experience broken hitbo…

maybe programmed by someone who has never played a video game before? Not even a basic attempt to string animations together, while at the same time the sound plays regardless of what's happening on screen.

Controls are clunky and often won't register. So far so good. You get used to it pretty quickly. The fact that during my first eight minutes of playtime, I was hardstuck somewhere in the world or "props" four times and had to quit and restart, made me not want to play this any further. I wanted to enjoy this game. But it would not let me.

janky but once you get used to not being able to move and attack at the same time it's not that bad just get used to getting stuck on enemies when dashing
