I agree with a few other peoples complaints about the dodge roll. The i frames activate later in the roll than anticipated so you have to roll really early. I also encountered a bug on Nalani's 2nd half where i didn't take any damage. Fun game though, I'd love to see an expanded version of it :D

good game and good  yotube video too.

i just wish there was more of this game (i really liked this game)

What's up with the rolling/dodging? when I dodge it doesn't seem to activate until halfway through the roll which is really annoying.

Also why does the first boss almost never stop attacking? How am I meant to hit him if I use all of my stamina dodging constant attacks. At least make it so charged attacks stagger the boss

Other than that, great game especially for the small time frame you had to make it

I cant launch the game. (I already extracted the files)  the game launches then it kicks me out, i can hear the game go on but it seems to crash every time i play it

Always make sure to add a restart button for situations like this...

If you level up proabably leveling 12 Endurance is the best. It allows the player to do 4 Attacks(more than that is a garantiet hit) and 2 Rolls with the stamina more is not needed. 

Great Game, but kind of easy Bosses and vigor is kind of pointless because the bosses are not oneshoting you and the flask are the same strength. 

The Sekeleton has a over hat slam that can be looped over and over to allow for easy attacking.

The Second one is just roll or strave and then hit him 4 times R1 and roll away.

Overall great

when rolling the i frames should start when i roll not late in the roll, like elden ring when you roll you cant get hit early in the roll only until you land. Sometimes when i roll into the boss i get hit immediently thinking the i frames got my back

Absolutely great game, especially for how long you had to make it, only problem I had was that I-frames weren't long enough, when I was fighting Nalenia her flurry attacks were almost undodgeable, and i'd always get caught on the last few. Great game though :D

Just finished it, what a great experience. You successfully built a souls-like mini game. What that means to me is that you created a game that requires some level of mastery over the mechanics you created. I think you can ignore alot of feedback including mine because in the end you accomplished what you set out to do. But if you'd like some feedback from a souls veteran, I've got you fam.

1. I-frames are just a tad too short and/or rolling/rolling recovery is a tad too slow. I have the urge to get up and close with Nalania, but I could never avoid more than one strike from her three-strike combo. The current mechanics reward those who keep their distance. That's is definitely ok if that is what you are going for.

3. Somethings aren't quite right with the stagger mechanic. I think there needs to be an extra millisecond or two of forgiveness because it was common to take damage after the enemy had been staggered.

4. Nalania's lunge attack has the potential to send player flying. I think this also relates to another thing I noticed where the enemy can really just bully the player with just their walking. Maybe the hit boxes just need refinement? This adds to rewarding players who keep their distance.

Great game and I really enjoy watching the making of video.

Hey man, I recommend implementing file hashes for the downloads (for security reasons). It would allow the users to make sure the files haven't been tampered with by a hacker. Look into MD5 or SHA-256 for more information.

having an issue playing with my xbox controller and it seems when im not locked on the heavy and light attack buttons are both light attacks and when i do lock on there both heavy attacks and un locking on doesn't change it back but other than that its a great game and id love to see it expanded on as a big dark souls fan myself its a cool project 

this game be so ahh

Please fix the I-frames and this thing is perfect when i feel like suffering 

the rolling is almost too responsive if that makes sense

It was such a fun experience :D 
It has some bugs while rolling and with the dash attack of the second boss. 
The combat feels pretty slow.
Except that, I didn't found anything more wrong. It was really fun and I would love a full game of this xD

i didn't finish the game  cuz its so hard but ( the game is better then elden ring 

)   just kidding  the game is extremely good im having a good time :)

I think this was done really well, very fun challenge and execution, would be cool to see a whole soulslike with a claymation twist on it but this alone was great, Nalani was pretty tough

It was really fun trying this out. It always feels good to fight a new boss to learn in these types of games and I feel like I got that. I played this because I saw the video and was very impressed. Playing it, I was even more impressed.
My criticisms are few: Mainly dodge I-frames were lacking however I found the bosses had well designed attacks that basic movement was enough for me to get out of the way with spacing.
At the end of the video I heard you said you would be interested in pursuing this further if we were interested, and I'll cast in my vote: I'm very interested.
One thing I would love in a future update/project: A shield. I felt so naked playing this with out and form of block or parry which make up a core part of this type of game. Though I completely understand why one couldn't make it in this.
Also one last thing I really enjoy. Sometimes when you fight the bosses against the wall, there weapon hits the wall making a lot of particles which looks so cool and intimidating. Helps them look powerful and makes the fight cinematic.
You did so well and I'm so excited to see more of your work.

i really like the Style, UI and animations. But! I think the roll system is still the weak part here like DevGio mentioned. 

The invincible frames are either too short or buggy as i got hit too often while rolling. The side sweep attack was nearly impossible to dodge somehow (normally rolling into the swinging sword in DS or ER helps with the short time I-frame but it was here often a mistake). And rolling away was even more strange getting always hit. This part is really important and makes the players too quickly frustrated. 

Best Example is Bleak Faith: Forsaken where players lament about the same issue, while on the other hand the promising V.A.Proxy Demo showed a  counter system with a very wide timing friendly part. Its better creating the difficulty of the game by not reducing the evasion possibilities. Gamers who don't understand the intention or programming process may think its just Jank, influencing others then. (Even more professional gamers see it that way sadly)

For difficulty, the Boss should either turn slower to the Player to give more time for an attack, gets staggert sometimes or does sometimes a stupid recharging segment in his pattern. 

Overall i enjoyed this game and hope you will develope this idea further.
