How can I make this game better?

I HEAR YOU GUYS LIKE TO REVIEW GAMES. WELL THAT'S GREAT COS I LIKE TO MAKE EM.

So I'm halfway through a project right now and I'm carting it up n down the internet for feedback. Usually I make games that are a parody of a genre. I made Cannoncrotch, which is my Metal Slug, and then Crunchdown, which is my Streets of Rage. This next game is basically a 2D side-scrolling Devil May Cry with all the wierdo cultist devil nonsense taken out. Use WASD or the arrow keys to move and use the mouse to attack.


Also, you can double-tap left or right to dash, and launch enemies into the air by clicking and then immeadiately pressing UP.

HERE'S THE GAME

Tits make everything better.

Noted.

I'm not sure how the range of the sword feels, but I'd maybe extend it a bit more. There's a bit of a blind spot in between the shooting range and swinging range -- Depending on how the gameplay is, you may not be able to run forward/that close to enemies without getting hit.

Wait, where can I play it?

Oh, the link was broken. It's fixed.

I really like the game. The wall jumping mechanic is cool, and the animations are nice. 3D scrolling backgrounds are cool too. It seemed like most of the enemies had weak attack though, they never seemed to take any health off at all.

HOLY SH**, you're the guy who made Crunchdown?! That game is pretty ingenius. This is the first time I've ever got to thank a creator for doing a game I like so 'Thank you!'.

Anyway, I'll check out your dev diary and tell you what I think about the game.

Awesome. I'm gonna keep making games like that.

Wow. These games are really, really good. Awesome job man.

I like it. The control is simple and effective. Some of the level design is a bit difficult. the light house wall jumping cool. The Crab battle was cool too. good job.

The boss battles are very good. Definitely better than most retail games I've played on consoles this year. I'm looking at you, Mirror's Edge.

That was fantastic. I loved the Crab Battle.

Okay it took me awhile but I played through all of the update demos.

I was going to say that the climbing needed to be fixed...but it has been fixed. But I got to say that the last box pushing part in Level 2 was annoying. I had to restart the level the first time because I pushed the box on the wall and couldn't reach the next level. That part needs to be removed and replaced with some exciting vertical platforming. I love vertical platforming so much.

Also the sword charge takes WAY too long. The game is supposed to have you running through the levels kind of fast, right? Well have a charge attack where you have to not use sword attacks for 15 seconds or so to charge it messes up the pace.
