Great Game, under many aspects

Great game, overall.
Graphics: 8 - character/enemies are very well drawn, and the blue light effect on the sword swing is just awesome! decent backgrounds that could be more polished and varied
Style: 10 - style is, well... very stylish (in a sort of "ancient japan"-ish way)
Sound: 8 - the idea of singing birds as background is simply ingenious, but then again, some music comment in the intro or in given moments of the game (e.g. before a boss fight) would have added a lot
Violence: 8 - just the right amount of it
Interactivity: 10 - controls are very smooth and accurate, you did a very good job here

Suggestions for improvement:
1. it was a bit short, make it longer!

2. it was too easy to beat... you have a really good control system, now develop more effective enemies' AI with blocks or dodging ability

3. with all this "style" in place there's no story, just a guy fighting. develop a story around your game: part of it should unfold during the game itself.

COOL

Wow cool game. It played really well, and the physics were great. You should definately make a sequal with a plot and more enemies, also I whould special attacks. It is a cool game and I can't wait to see your next one.

good start

the style and graphics were good, it just was too much of the same thing, only one attack, no upgrades, all the monsters basically the same...

Liked it

I really liked this game a lot. The graphics were very good, I especially liked the blue-slashing effect, that looked cool. The sounds were also pretty good. Liked the bird sounds at the background. Still I think you could improve this game a little at some points.

First off, I think you should add a few (more) sword combo´s and stuff. The current moves were okay, but just keep pressing A,A,A all the time gets boring after a while. And it was too hard hitting enemies while jumping. More combo´s would deffinatly make the fights more interesting and fun. Second, the bird sounds at the background were nice like I said, but I wouldn´t mind if you added some real music as well. And third, you could think of a story for this maybe. I´d like to know why I have to kill all these monsters and why a village is burning and who the main character exactly is and what he´s doing there etc. It´s not totally necessary, but I just think games like this should have a good story.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. Well it could improve a little, but I think it was very good overall. I hope you´ll make some more of these, keep up the excellent work.
