I’d love to run a small playtest for Swordius in partnership with GameUserResearch, gathering real gameplay data and feedback for free. If you're interested, where’s the best place to DM you for more details?
Hi Max Kirby, thanks for reaching out, but the game is still in early prototype, so I'm not looking for playtesting at this time... I appreciate your offer and you can dm me on X or Bluesky. Thank you!
yoh, where's cross strike 2, that's what got me hooked in this series and I want to know if Cross is ok. did Lumina kill him? what was the other robot? so many questions...
Hi Don of Many Faces, sorry about that. Project Cross Strike will be on hold for now until I finish my other project first… but I won’t forget it and I will continue it one day! And thank you for your support!
Awesome game, beautiful visuals and neat mechanics, but I ended up not using cyclone at all due to its low damage output and its only use is deleting projectiles I can use to trigger the counter and stagger bosses. Maybe I should've used it to delete the water swordian's seeking missiles but when I tried with the light swordian's homing swords it didn't work
Contrary, I found it useful for staying in the center all the time without waiting through any overheat or combo end timers. This usage gives 100% damage uptime during stagger, but not sure how much more DPS that is compared to just waiting through combo end.
Also good against drones (fire isn’t always available, and I didn’t like the water attack at all)
Made an account just to say how much I loved this game-the quality is insane the controls are great! I can't wait to see what else you make after I am done procrastinating!
Amazing game, I absolutely loved it. Everything feels so good, especially the dodge counter - it was so satisfying to chain multiple dodge counters together. Loved the speedrun with the extra boss at the end too. All of the attack patterns were so fun to dodge too. Everything felt super fair and rewarding. Also the VFX were stellar, I gotta bookmark this game. Feels like there’s so much to learn from with respect to how you juiced everything up.
Really great work, I was surprised this was a jam game, it felt so complete!
Woooow awesome game. It has a lot of potential. I had a fantastic time playing it. I love the gameplay, and the gamefeel. Is awesome. Keep doing that amazing job! 🌻

no problem, dawg, I bet you got some awesome ideas for Cross's next adventure...
Probably the best free game I've played on itch in months. Not even kidding, wow
Thank you so much! :D

Cool! Thank you so much for playing and nice feedback! :D
(Ya, the light swordian's homing swords can't be destroyed by cyclone.)

Also fun to use for sure.
quite fun with a little difficulty!! I thoroughly enjoyed the very unique gameplay.
Thank you so much! :D

Thank you so much for playing! :D
This is awesome! Good job man!
Thank you so much! :D
Just a question for a speedrun for this game would we have to include the parts where you gain a new skill or not?
Oh I think maybe can exclude the parts where you gain a new skill.
Thank you
=D
congratulations! It’s quite fun and challenging, I love it. Maybe my favorite of your games yet, between this and radiance hearts. Cool name, too.
Thank you so much, Zeroth_231! :D
have a nice day:)
even though the game is quite short it is extremely fun and the fact that it is repayable is even better = D
this reminds me of bloodborne sad there will be no bloodborne 2...
That's cool! Thank you so much for playing, lightningstriker_666! :D
