Game's take on the theme
The game is about a swordsmen (a hero) travelling through multiple universes which have collided with each other making each one of them glitched (this gives it a make shift look). From the code perspective, I used very basic code (nothing a beginner can't understand) and sprites and left intentional faults in the sprites (therefore enhancing the makeshift look). Thus this project abides by the theme "Makeshift".

No it does not.
Did you use any third-party plugins other than PlusMusic?

The game looks really great! But there is no depth in the gameplay so the same jump/backing strategy can be applied to every boss so it was a bit disappointing in that regard.
Thanks for your feedback! I will soon add dashing, hurt and fatigue so watch out for those updates!
really nice graphics and ambience! A bit hard though :D
Thanks :)
Nice game, I like the simplicity in the game mechanics. Felt like I was close beating the first boss but then couldn't. Probably the boss needs to delay for a second right before his attacks. Nice feel overall.
Thank you! The boss needs some fixing and I will be sure to add it!
Real nice art :D
Thanks!
wow the pixel art is so good make the cool environment !! Like transylvania !! Good work !
Thank you! I worked really hard on the art aspect.
Really nice art and music. I also had trouble with completing the first boss.
Thank You! I received that a lot so I will make the bosses easier on the new update. Hang around till then!
Mindmeltingly good pixel art and great music, too. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it past the first boss, too, but I agree with the other commenters: this game has a lot of potential!
Thank you! Hang on tight until the new update brings out easier bosses, more abilities and more bosses!
first of all the art is amazing this is top quality pixel art i love it. like many others, I also found the first boss challenging and I wasn't able to beat the second phase, but I had fun anyways. it kinda reminds me of the game Blasphemous in the combat and look. i'd love to see more of the game if you continue to make it!
I was thinking of adding a couple of more bosses and making the game a bit easier so that people can actually beat the game. I feel wonderful knowing that you enjoyed it!
Incredible art and pretty good audio as well! Like a few other players, I could not beat the first boss due to the inability to avoid the second phase attack that does 30 damage. I can appreciate the potential this has though, it's a great setting and I'd love to play the remaining bosses sometime when things are patched up.
Thanks a lot! I will make the game a little easier once the voting ends.
This is hard man! Unfortunately I didn't get past the first boss. I could dodge his attacks at the beginning, but then he glows blue, and any contact with him deals you massive damage. Couldn't hit him, couldn't jump above him (not enough range), got messed up every time :(
the gameplay is quite hard to pick up in the sense that it's hard to hit a boss without taking damage (or maybe I suck)
nevertheless the graphics are cool and I had fun! the project has potential
Thanks for your rating! The bosses were designed such that you can only beat the boss if you make use of all the scene elements (such as power-ups). None of the bosses are unbeatable.
