What do you think?

I've never been so blown away by a game in years! I see a lot of potential for this to be one of the greatest indie games in the year it's complete.

My only complaint is how parry is mapped to Q. It feels a bit awkward with the way I have to position my hand. I suggest maybe mapping it to D and then mapping the combo list to W. That's the way I'd do it as it's close to the WASD fingering, but it's all still up to you.

I'm looking forward to when the full game comes out. Keep up the good work! #TrisXBillie

Hello,I want to ask you for permission to make a translation into Russian for your game

Loved playing this game, the combat system seemed to have a small gap severely limiting when you can jump between spaces, but otherwise was really awesome. Hope to see this full release so I can play more!
