FLASH OF THE BLADE X v.1.16

Hey folks! We've received some fantastic coverage over the last few weeks! Thanks to all the creators that have spotlighted our game, and left reviews! Reviews help us massively in terms of getting seen, so please leave one if you haven't done so 😊 Anyway, you're here for patch notes -- so what have we done? • Removed the majority of the cutscenes to streamline the action! • Set the first cutscene so that it does not re-play upon death! • Changed the player's crossbow to hitscan, so the projectile doesn't pass through enemies! and perhaps most exciting of all.... • Added a SUPER SECRET THROWBACK LEVEL! I hope you hate it. It also has dev commentary. Find it if you dare. We've still got some stuff in the bag that we will look to release for the game soon, but for now, please enjoy the update!

This is not a polished or innovative game, Dosman Games is upfront about that and the price should set appropriate expectations. Treat this game like a...

Short and simple. I wish it had a bit more depth and challenge, but was fun for what it was.
