Thank you! It's my first game in GameMaker, so I was worried I wouldn't be able to make fluid controls, but I'm glad so many people say I did

Wow, the artwork is so cute. Easy controls Well designed boss, I like this game.

I'd also like to invite you to play my game if you're interested.

Instantly noticed the polish of the game on the main menu. Awesome! The heroine has a cool danging move when idle, I really appreciate details like that. The controls are solid enough, although the tutorial made me feel like that one "journalist" at the beginning of cuphead. Seems to be a game with a lot of love behind. Great work!

Thank you so much! I was actually thinking of that journalist while making the tutorial, and made it hard on purpose, but it might have been a cruel joke for some XD

A fun game with good moves and bosses, I miss better use of the theme and I get stuck on the third boss because I don't understand how to hit him.

Deal with the Devil

It's alright, it's not explained at all, but you have to wait out the attacks until the dragon stops moving and then attack.

Also, yes, the use of the theme is very weak :C

The player art and animations were so cute XD. The attack mechanic is very interesting and the rebound from walls is really cool (I spammed the F out of it XD, it was fun to use). I think that mechanic can really grow into something awesome.

Thank you and I'm planning on turning this into a full game, I made everything modular so I could expand on it

MonishcreateSubmitted318 days ago(+1)

That's Awesome! Best of luck!

Pretty game and overall I thought it was enjoyable. Witch boss was fun! can't quite tell when I can and cannot hit the boss and the game ended up crashing for me after I died.

PronoesProDeveloper318 days ago

Oh no! was it a normal crash or did a window pop up? I want to know so I can fix it for the full version. Also, thank you and I should add a sign that explains that the last 2 bosses is a survival test until they stop moving and attacking and THEN you can attack them, sorry.
