Hi all,

With 5 months of hard work. Please allow me to bring you the latest version 0.6.1.

This version bring me a lot closer to what I imagine a minimum viable game that have some interesting boss fight. And interfaces that is at least acceptable.
All bosses now have a distinct and unique stage 2. (This is a LOT of work!)
All Slash effect are now more visible so can be more dodge-able and block-able.
All enemies HP tuned slightly lower, boss slightly higher
improved UI with some display bugs fixed
new VFX of katana killing
new VFX of shield breaking
Some moves pre-swing and post swing time reduced
Shark enemy move set redesigned
Stage lighting optimized
Now dash or slide skills do not go over the edge and kill you
Current to-do list
Sound effect rework (the current sound EQ is really bad, and still missing a bunch of sounds)
HQ redesign, Title screen redesign
polish the combat more
Please let me know what you think!

Massive Update – Our Biggest In 6 Months Of Work!
After six months of development, this is the largest update yet.
The main character’s move set has been extensively overhauled for tighter control, fresher combos, and smoother flow.
A brand‑new Tutorial section is now available right inside the Pause Menu so you can review mechanics and advanced tips anytime.
Enemies have been reworked across the board—many bosses have been rebuilt or carefully tuned for fairer challenge and clearer attack readability.
A new upgrade system debuts with deeper build choices and long‑term progression. (Because of the internal changes, old save files are unfortunately no longer compatible—truly sorry for the inconvenience.)
Multiple stages have been redesigned or refined to improve pacing, exploration, and visual clarity.
The UI has been refreshed for cleaner navigation and faster access to key information.
And there’s much more: balance passes, performance tweaks, animation polish, audio refinements, bug fixes—you name it. Jump in, explore the changes, and please share your feedback. Your impressions now will help shape the next wave of improvements. Enjoy!
P.S. we are seeking for someone that work in 1. sound, both SFX and music, 2. Story writing. Please leave a comment if you are interested

Update: Ver. EA 0.2.1
Hey all, This one took me a while! In this update, I tried to consolidate the experience of the stages. Sorry for still delaying the rework of the sound effect, I know it is annoying, lol. So the main idea is to make all minions recognizable and memorable so it is more fun to fig
