really pretty really fun, only one part I disliked the controls where all over the place, how does the sword work idk its unclear. some times I slice it some times I don't well doing the same thing. I think the problem is the sword I cant tell if its a tap or a hold. ran pretty well, no lag.
good game, just need more levels
Fun game that I discovered at PAX West. Looking forward to new levels!

PRECIOUS! A short little experience with so much room to expand. Loved the art style, the music, and the overall concept and design. I tried it with an Xbox controller at first and noticed sometimes the attacks would miss as if it thought I was aiming backwards. Switched to keyboard & mouse and that worked much better. Navigating the pause menu was a bit tough, too. I couldn't find a way to switch the tabs on the side for rebinding, audio, etc. Outside of those teeny issues, it was fantastic and I hope to see more! Even a paid DLC for more songs would be worth it!
Short and sweet, but incredibly sweet! Fantastic visuals, great soundtrack, really fun gameplay! Only 2 levels right now, but those are really fun. Like I said though- [i] really [/i] short, I beat it. Will probably go for perfects later. Also: I recommend switching the slice input from Space to Left Click, made gameplay a lot better.
Really enjoyable rhythm game. Would be kind of cool if you could upload your own music for it to bpm match. Still a very fun time!
its a really fun game but when i hit settings my mouse disappears from the screen so i can't change the settings
非常好玩的音樂節奏遊戲!!
マウスエイムとキー操作をまぜた新感覚音ゲー 曲もすごくよかったしこれが無料なのはちょっとヤバい(素晴らしい) めちゃくちゃおもしろいからもっと流行ってください! タイミングのラグもないしキャラもカワイイから是非触ってほしい!
Super simple, well-drawn rhythm freebie with a funny sushi theme. I'd happily play more of anything in this art style.
