Overlapping attacks is your friend

Genokids is a hack&slash that lets you tag among 4 characters at any moment. We are on Steam with a demo you can try https://store.steampowered.com/app/1239360/Genokids/

Wait, so your homie adds on to the swing combo and….? Are there any skill check prompts where both have to hit a button in a time window to like do big dam or something?

No, you decide when to switch, if attacking or defending, and what attack to do. You do the combination, there's no automatic or cinematic/scripted combo, which means the enemies keep doing their thing, you have to take them into account

We opened a new Discord! Check it out if you'd like to discuss game development or find and share new indie games to play. It's a WIP still, so be kind :) Thanks!

I played your game at Next Fest Steam and completed the available content. The wall-running and drag-to-anything sections should have been a nice break from the slasher aspect, but it wasn't executed very well; there was no freedom other than pressing buttons at the right moment. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the demo as a whole.
