And if you're having trouble with the blocking, you have to block just moments before the enemy attacks you, right as the enemy grunts before its attack. It's difficult to pick up on, but once you get, the game becomes pretty enjoyable.
Personally, I don't think this game deserves such a low rating; it presents a unique concept (at least to me it's unique), employing the player's hearing ability as a main gameplay mechanic, and it's nice to see something new. I get that a lot of people give this game low ratings because it's difficult, but I think that's the point of this game. It's not something you breeze through, it takes a lot of precision and patience; essentially, this game is going to take you many tries (unless you're pretty lucky). You shouldn't rate a game down if it's too difficult for you, you should rate a game down if it has bugs that hinder the gameplay or if the quality is subpar, etc. I didn't think this game really suffered from either of these problems, and personally, I think this developer makes enjoyable games. However, I do agree, the instructions regarding blocking aren't very clear, there probably could've been a more detailed tutorial.
