The art is really cool! I thought I could just block the way to the king with the guards, but then the monsters just didn't show up T_T Also had problems with setting up crystals: it seemed like they appeared in random places.. But I still had fun!

Really liked the art style!

Took me some tries, but I defeated all the enemies and was victorious! :-)

If I may suggest something, maybe make it so that you can hold down the WASD keys to make the character move.

Thanks for playing and staying strong until the end! :)

Your suggestion is already implemented in the current update... which will have to wait for the voting phase to end.
A long with it come a lot of other changes! Be sure to check it out once updated ^^

I wasn’t sure how to respond in the dialogues, and events unfolded beyond my control, yet I still ended up winning the game without really understanding what was happening. The 2D art was intriguing, and I particularly liked the unusual color palette.

loved the art style!
everything was greatly designed and polished!
the game play was its only part that was a bit frustrating...
but overall, i really enjoyed it!

The visuals are well made and have a unique art style and the audio selection has good picks and fits the game's atmosphere well, which makes all the assets feel as if they truly belong with each other, which is very nice.

The concept of not being able to directly attack the monsters, but instead having to put up barriers and position guards to defend the king is creative and creates interesting gameplay. However, the execution of the concept can definitely be improved as the movement is quite slow and the mechanics aren't really explained anywhere outside of the game description, so rectifying these issues can make the game even better.

Despite that, this is a solid game 👍
