Very stylish look, and straightforward to play yet doesn't come across feeling generic. Fun to play. This brought back positive memories for me of Legend of Kage. The main difference there was being able to throw some ninja stars, which certainly this works fine without, but could be a nice way to mix things up if taking it further.
Mhh yeah a nice idea! I also love how the dash feels at first. But the core mechanic falls a bit flat very soon. I think a basic issue of this game is that there is not enough player agency over the game events:
1) The camera does not let you see enough of your surroundings, 2) the player dash attack has an 'invisible' cooldown in which 3) enemies attack out of nowwhere and 4) you can do nothing to counter it.
For me, this means that, when I die, I don't think: "Yeah, well played, they really got me", but rather "hm, how did that happen? Not much I could have done here"
Hope this helps you somewhat! I like the idea! :-)
Thanks for the feedback (not just any regular feedback but a good one). I am impressed by the way you put the issues into words. I will be fixing these issues and hopefully, the game will get much better.

Thank you for your kind feedback. As you can tell from playing the game, I focused on the art and game feel. I might add more things in the future.
