hey so im imagining this game probably isnt getting an update anytime soon, considering this demo is 4 years old, and i dont think the page is gonna ever be checked again, but might as well shoot this out there
when i launch this game, i am stuck at the disclaimer screen and physically cannot progress past it
i have tried using a controller, a keyboard, a DIFFERENT keyboard incase the first wasnt supported for whatever reason, and the only reason i didnt try a third keyboard is because i was
1. out of keyboards and
2. would look like a fool if i tried more
regardless of what key i pressed (and i promise i tried every single key on both keyboards and even checked L3 and R3 on my controllers, the game WILL NOT PROGRESS
it sucks because this seems like such an interesting game, but the game itself just WONT let me play it
the display option keys work just fine, but it just wont let me play the actual game itself either because my input isnt being taken or read properly for some reason
i am PLEADING that one day this project at least comes out with some kind of patch or SOMETHING that allows me to get past this screen so i can try the game and give it its fair shake, but MAN did this extremely bum me out
women simulator gaming edition
on phone idk how to save this so i comment. nice game!! love the combo stuff and speeeeed
me every time i saw this cat :
可恶这么好玩的游戏竟然停更了
作者上个月在油管上说今年可能会继续更新这个游戏
这该往哪找
目前还没更新呢，作者推特倒是挺活跃
Is it still getting updated?
twinkle mod on smash bros when?
for some reason an entity caused this error when i hit it

how do you turn off the music/sound?
Im gonna make a "Tas" for the game in a bit
👀👀👀
Might take a bit longer since i wanna polish it up
But ill have it done at somepoint and send it for ya
Omg, i realized i said "polish it up" when this game is all about polishing up the game lmao
It is done.
I might update it more in the future but rn it was rushed lol
Gave it a 2022 video of its gameplay :3
you should definitely publish this to steam!
solid game
would love an option to rebind
I dont know if it's a bug bt level 3(?) I'm short of a key to the last bedroom
Gorgeous art style and dynamic animation. The character designs are beautiful. Very cute game! <3
i don't know if is fixed but just to be sure
when i launch the game i cant seam to be able to get past the WIP sign when i press J or even use a controller
nice.
I saw any furry-related stuff then I had to try it. 😂
BTW is there a way to adjust volume of music or audio?
Thanks for playing :) No volume adjustment yet but there will be soon
In the next demo is it possible to program a training room? I love the movement and combat so much and having a dedicated room to learn combos will be a great feature!!!
Yep! I've got a fun practice room in the works :) Thanks for playing!
i love this so much
cant wait for it to be finished
Kudos for bringing such cute idea 2D action platforming. :)
You know fighting games like this are great when the controls follow the JKL UIO keyboard controls. The combos and the game itself is awesome.
Thank you :)
another thing, idk if it is supposed to do this or if it is a bug, after I finish the third level, it sends me back to the first one, is that ok? From developer to developer I understand if that is how far you have got for now
Yeah that's intentional :)
phew that's good, I thought my download was corrupted by my slow connection =o=
Looking REALLY forward to this, I'M IN FREAKING LOVE WITH THIS GAME
Great stuff! Loving It! But there's this weird thing where the game doesnt work or register inputs unless if i click off of it?
Thanks for playing! Hopefully in the next demo release things will be better
I would want to play this..but everytime I try to...No buttons seem to DO anything...
Running into a similar issue, when the initial 'warning this is a demo' screen shows up, it say s"Press A" but pressing A on both XBox gamepad and on the keyboard do nothing. 1/2/3/4 for setting resolution and rumble work, but that seems to be it.
Sorry its not working properly, hopefully things work right in the next demo
Looking forward to it!
Finally gave it a spin (it does work for me now) and SUPER enjoyed it.
When the worst aspect of something is "it's too short" -- and it's stated to not be complete yet -- y'know that's a winner in the making right there.
Eagerly (but patiently) awaiting its arrival on Switch in a completed form.
Sorry you're not able to play :') I've been working to resolve this. Hopefully the next demo works better
Hopefully too.
first off very fun game! the combos are super fun to pull off!
gets a little unconformable with the keyboard controls since jump is so far away from the dash. switching jump and grad would better. at least for me.
also i found a bug!
during a combo i get this error message:

It keeps crashing whenever I press X on my ps4 controller. It's not responding to any keyboard input other than 1, 2 and 3, which is changing screen size and fullscreen. The demo looks amazing and I want to try it, hopefully there's a fix for this.
Hey there, will look into this soon. Sorry about that
That game is so fun! I was having a blast moving through dust bunnies and keeping the highest combo possible. Definitely keep going!
hey Aw0!
the demo looks promising and I'm pretty excited about what's new about it.
But I encountered an error while I was playing the second level.
Here's the error message

This game is AMAZING I love everything about it <3
I know that this is a WIP so I thought I would report some lil errors I experienced
First of all when doing an attack one of the sprites didnt seem complete :/
Also, while playing the second "level" this showed up :( I tried to put ignore a bunch of times but I would just pop up again so I had to close the game
But other than that this game is epic, I absolutely love it! 💖💖💖
Thanks for trying it out :)
But, the attack sprites being incomplete isn't an error... its just not done lol
how does one put so much elegance and class into one moveset. This game is epic, good combat, tho, i will say the game is pretty slow until i clear all the dust and then the game runs smoothly again. Other than that, pretty good stuff. I wanna see this on steam in the future
Thanks for playing! :D I'll continue to work on optimization
I'm trying to play the game, but when I start it it crashes
I'll give this a look soon.
I ran into a similar bug when I was trying to grab an enemy. I believe I was mid-jump, or maybe had just landed/was sliding on a surface while grabbing. If it happens again, I'll grab a screenshot.
I really liked the visual and the style in general. But as a someone that doesn't use Windows, I must ask: is cross-platform planned? 😭 Would love to play W&W in my Mac or desktop PC (the one running Linux). 🙏
Thank you! Yes, other ports will be coming! :D
Makes me really happy to know. I’ve already shown it to my friends and they all seemed to enjoy it too. Keep up the great work!
I really appreciate it! :)
I have two suggestions:
1) A low health warning. Something to show/hear when you're low on health. It seems sudden and the "death" animation makes it look like you go from clean to dirty in a microsecond. Maybe even a secondary health bar above the player's head?
2) Some indication the big enemy is invincible until it attacks. I thought the game was broken as there's no audio or visual feedback to tell you otherwise.
Thanks for the feedback! Been workin on this stuff since this version :) You'll feel a big difference in the next big demo
Can't pecking wait! :D
Such a well-designed game. I can't wait to try out the full version.
huge potential right here, with excellent designs and crisp animations. i'm completely in love with anything going for this game
