Loved the art style and the bright colors this game brings. However as others have said - the controls seem clunky and not responsive in the fighting side of things.

While the narrative itself is relatively light and straightforward, it provides enough context to frame the journey and motivate progression, functioning more as a backdrop for action than a deeply layered plot.

The controls are clunky and the game itself isn't very interesting imo
The controls are clunky, during tutorial it tells u to hold left mouse button, but when I did that, it failed. But when I spammed left mouse, it got accepted.
Good game, reasonable design, gameplay and controls are a little heavy. The game is not so fluid but it is easy to play.
