The art style is great, very pretty to look at.
Game feel very nice to play, I also appreciate the checkboxes you provided in the menu to cater to the player.
I don't know if this was just a browser issue but my game froze everytime I got hit, also move the bell 5 pixels down lol.
Really good job overall, nice work!

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback. the bell seem to trouble many, I will find better alternative next time lol.

I have to say, this game looks BEAUTIFUL! Pretty fun to play, but I'd suggest some sort of visual cue on how to start the game, as I just aimless ran around for a bit before hitting the bell by mistake. With a bit of fine tuning to the mechanics (roll felt a bit too long) this can become a great game!

I like the artstyle and music. Combat system is nice too, BUT I think game could much-much better and easier, if you roll in the direction which your character is facing, not where your mouse is. Otherwise I often rolled in the direction to the boss, but since I stayed a bit away from it, I was getting rolled in the boss's sprite and was getting contact damage. So this kinda encourage you to not fight the boss during its attack phase, cuz it is a bit tricky to attack and roll in the right direction. But if you could attack in one direction and roll in another, that's add more dynamic, because it actually becomes easier to attack the boss during its attacks.

Also yeah, 2 times had a bug where your character cant move and do anything and it also becames invulnerable https://ibb.co/G4wf6Hrs. Before that happen, your character gets pulled a bit to a certain place. I think it is somehow connected to the roll.

Also at first I missed that you need to hit a bell to start boss rush, so perhaps could make it more distinct or could just make so you can activate it with "E".

Hollow Pumpking!

The controls are a little difficult to get in the start, but then it becomes easy to remember what each one does. But the arts, this pixel art was wonderful.

I love the visuals and the style of the game!  Learning how to play is fairly easy to pick up and I appreciate that.  I find that the dodge animation is a little too long and would feel like it would feel more responsive if you can animation cancel out of the dodge a few frames earlier using the move input or another attack.  Overall, nice work!

The visuals of the game is so nice, it sounds like hollow knight, that is great! I personally didnt like the way you implemented the dash, i think it would be better to dash in the direction that the player is facing, instead of follow the mouse. In the first boss sometimes i got stuck in the walls and had to restart the game.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback.

Your game is great and art style is amazing.

Super cool, reminds me of Hollow Knight! The art is top notch, I hope you continue working on this because I enjoyed playing it (even though I didn't manage to beat all the bosses yet!). Well done, congratulations!

The game looks amazing, very nice pixel art. I liked the effect of taking damage, but I think it was necessary to add repulsion from the boss upon contact with him.  After defeat, it is better to immediately restart the battle with the boss.

Great visuals and the game play but a warning as the [E] over the posts may be beneficial for the ring also because I had a hard time to ring it to begin :-))

Developer

A good idea. Thank you for the suggestion.

The graphic/art is phenomenal. I don't know if it's just me but whenever I take dmg the game lag out a bit.

Developer

It's probably the implemented effect. But maybe I made it too long. thank you for the feedback.

Very nice ! A great job on the graphics,  and the controls were rather easy to pick up. I just think there is a bit much going on in the first boss fight, which means I kind of ignored the wheel in the bottom, it was somewhat hard but I still enjoyed it.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback.

Man, this pixel art is incredible, trully trully amazing <3, love the inspiration in hollow knight also the music and the sound effects were great!. I think I run into a bug tho, I couldn't die, but I think I was going to be pretty bad at it so I'm glad It happened and I could see the ending hahaha :D

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback.

bop bop... Took me a long time to realise I had to hit the top of the bell.

Developer

I see. sorry for that, i will make it more clear next time. thank you for playing.

The art is insane, absolutely beautiful game. The sound integration is also so smooth. Great work.

The graphics/sound effects/polish are off the charts on this one, man that was difficult though.

The visuals of this game are absolutely amazing!

Beautiful looking game! The game is a bit too hard/punishing especially with rng mechanics however
