Interesting and fun game! Especially I liked animations and these hilarious dialogues. It would be great to have some music, the game would feel compltely different! You tricked us with no boss at the end (probably ran out of time to add it, that's ok). The first level was restarting completely after I die, that was a bit annoying x) Other than that, I enjoyed playing it.
Also be sure to rate my game too https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprod-game-jam-1/rate/319192
This was cool! The idea of a character gaining more features is interesting! I wish it was a little longer. Maybe try to soften the arrival of each feature. If the attack was discovered only in level 2 for example, the progression idea would have been way stronger, and the first level would have been more challenging.
Good work! Keep it up!
Made me smile!
Really interesting concept, good job on the animations, felt very fluid!
Had a really great time playing it!
Great job!
Feel sad for the ending of the little dude. I think you owe him at least one boss fight.
Cool concept. Nice animation. Well communicated visuals.
This game was simple, but I liked it! The concept of needing to get the codes to move your character is interesting, and the gameplay and art were polished and well made. Congrats on your entry! ^^
Amazing Game! Made me laugh on almost every text box. But it could be improved with checkpoints, skippable dialogue and a game icon.
Movement, attacks and animations are very well executed, platforming is simple, enemies are very basic and don't seem to react to the player I was going to get salty about having to rewatch a cutscene on death but it only restarts the room not the whole game so it's not too bad. Nothing new and exciting but it's well put together and polished and I enjoyed my time with it. Good job! (also yeah the boss is savage)
I love the art and the concept of the game. I find a bit annoying that you cant skip the first dialog but besides that the game is fantastic, the best that I played in this jam yet, congrats!
Also I would appreciate if you try my submission! https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprod-game-jam-1/rate/319018
I really liked the animations (esspecially the sword swinging and the enemies dying). It's a fun game!
Possible fixes: make the text a little bigger, don't inculde the first cutscene every time you respawn in the first level, introduce more game mechanics in the other levels (you get all the abilities in the first level, and afterwards it feels just like a regular platformer). But most importantly make the boss level easier, it was too hard for me.
Thanks for playing! Original plan was to make multiple levels which all were based around 1 upgrade, a soundtrack and some more polish, but I ran out of time and it was either this or missing the deadline:)
If people enjoy it I probably release a post-jam version, in which is bigger and more to my original vision.
Thought it was hard at the beginning but that was nothing compared to the last room, I did not beat it (:
