Miscellaneous

Created for the Boss Rush Jam 2024 with the theme "Exchange". In this game, you convert enemy attacks into health & power with the Perfect Block system. I had around 2 weeks allotted for creating the game as I entered late into the jam, but hopefully you'll find this a satisfying experience. Thanks for checking it out!

Inspired by the visuals and gameplay of games like:

• Final Fantasy 16
• Vanquish
• Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
• Exoprimal

NEW! Updated to post-jam version 0.2.1 with bug fixes, improvements
Also introducing the new "EX-Charge" ability! (Perform a perfect block at full HP to enable Extra-Charged Mode which lets you unleash powerful ranged slash attacks).
