You Seem A Decent Fellow
Required controls : Mouse / LMB / RMB
ADDITIONAL CONTROLS :
+R will restart the game from win or lose state
+Esc at any point will unload the game
+Using WASD to move around will affect the RNG of shielding and attacking in your favor.
+ pressing the button in the center of the screen will cause a lunge, this is technically an incomplete mechanic but i left it in cause it's fun as hell to do
Check out instructions in the screenshots of how to play.

This is a submission for GradJam2020 for the CGX, the theme was basically ' As you wish' - the jam was meant to be a space for us to kind of do whatever we want. As such, I wanted to try and make something a bit more mechanic focused with depth and complexity, it's not super deep but it is pretty complex.
Since the theme was As You Wish I decided to lean into the Princess Bride theme and recreate the fencing scene from that movie (As you wish is a reference to the movie).
The controls take a little bit of figuring out, but I genuinely really like how it turned out. The approximate time working on this game in total was about 24 hours, I had a version that was much more polished up than this but I am deciding to maintain the buggy, incomplete version that was built across the true span of the game jam (a total of 48 hours I believe).

The lack of feedback with the characters makes it rather difficult to understand what is going on. Even after reading the screenshots to understand the mechanics I felt really confused about how it all works. Only after a few attempts did I understand it well enough to win the fight.
Cool idea, but I think you should spend some time in the game introducing the player to the mechanics and setting up the UI so that it is more readable.
This is great feedback! I currently have no plans to spend more time than the 24 hours I had committed to it for the game jam.
Thank you for taking the time nonetheless.
