How did you/your team interpret the theme?
In this game you are not the hero, you are his sidekick.
How was your/your team's experience in this jam?
Really good. We had a fun time making this game together (we were definitely not bored).

Wow! Your game looks beautiful! Dialogues sometimes get freeze... but overall very good job!
I really love the art and ambience in this one, never quite seen anything like it.
I had to restart a few times because I was able to break the dialogue system.
Cool game! We had a similar idea where you are a sidekick and have to get the hero's sword!
The art was also very cool!
The color palette is very pleasing and the sound design is great. The music really sets the mood for what's happening. I unfortunately kept running into the dialogue bug and got stuck in some rocks while teleporting so I couldn't make it very far into the game, though I wanted to! ^^;
I really like the art, but I was stuck on some dialogues so I didn't go far.
I really like the art style. There was couple of glitches with dialogs, for example I stuck at the first dialog for a long time and it unfroze like 20 seconds later. But overall I really liked it!
great, but a little sad game, quite sticky walls by the way
I like the concept and the music! There are some bugs here and there, I've got some dialog freezes. Overall nice job!
It looks like it is possible to miss the dialog explaining how to dash over gaps, and the hero will just stay in the same spot after that. I might be mistaken because I ended up dashing off the side of the map and wandering around the void. Great art and concept despite these kind of funny bugs :)
Game soft locks me after I loot the first body.
The art in this game is awesome! Brings me back to the good 'ol days on my first computer.
The controls and concept are great but it could use a little more play testing and polish. I'd love to see this developed into something bigger. Nice job!
Thanks! It means a lot, yeah we need to do a lot more play testing :P we will be continuing development on this project so we’ll have some more time. Thanks again!
omg i love the art so much! i had a bit of trouble getting that far into the game because at some points i just couldn't leave the dialogue, but the concept was really cool and once again the art was amazing. great job all in all!!!
Thank you so much! Yeah we thought we fixed that problem but unfortunately it’s still in there, we will be updating it after the jam ends :)
awesome! i'll def check it out again then
I love the graphics and musci. Honestly they are one of the best on the whole jam! But there is the problem that after some time the game will always freeze, and I didn't know what to do. Still after some fixes this will be a really solid title, great job!
Great to hear you see the games potential! We will be continuing development so keep an eye out for future updates! Thanks for your kind words!
Playing this game is hard. I have to restart it over and over again and it will just freeze after some time. I can't fully play this game. But the music, sound effects and art is good from what I can see. The concept too. Sorry that I can't give you more feedback!
Sorry to hear about your difficult experience, we had little time for testing so we weren't able to make it foolproof. Thanks for your kind words though!
The art on this one is soo nice, i love it, it does give somewhat of a grim feeling how you're burying corpses, the music feels nice and the isometric-ish presentation makes it look floaty and nice, great job!
Thank you so much! :)
