In what way does your game fit the theme?
You found a mysterious relic. To embrace its power you must fulfill its wish to venture into the cave. Its behavior is erratic. By delving deeper, you'll gather unwanted attention and engage in a chaotic combat. The relic seems to shift its behavior at a moment's notice, stay alert.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

It was definitely hard to keep up with the key changes. Interesting idea tho. The art was pretty detailed, its impressive how it was all made in just a week. Nice job
pretty fun game :D, nice graphic too, nice job
Thank you for playing our game. We are glad you liked it!
Really challenging and fun to play! I could sit here for hours just trying to perfect the quick change of the buttons. I hope you can take this idea even further after the jam!!
Thank you! It's awesome you liked it that much. We had a blast making this game and we are really proud of it, so we are thankful that you took the time to play it and enjoyed it.
Really cool game! I think the placement of the gems could've been better tho. I mean, it IS your main focus other than the enemies, so I think placing it in the middle instead of the corner made more sense so the player don't have to dart their focus back and forth between the gems and the enemies too much (plus you don't really need the map until after the battle anyways). Still tho, a really fun and hectic game! The visuals are really nice too! Nice work!
Hi, thank you for taking the time to play our game provide us feedback to improve it, we really appreciate it. We are happy you enjoyed it!
Nice game. Loved the art.
Nice small game, I'll rate it tomorrow, because I have to go to sleep. They are angry enough at me at work, for showing up late after this gamejam...
But the graphics are beautiful, where did you learn to draw such pixelart?
Some course or art school? Or self taught?
Hello, thank you for playing our game and for your kind words. You can see a gallery of the game art and animations in my artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/kD0lKd
I learned a lot from AdamCYounis' videos, he is really good at explaining his process and how to use aseprite: https://www.youtube.com/c/AdamCYounis I recommend you to subscribe to his channel.
cool game, great job
The game felt rather hard instead of being chaotic. But the graphics and music were really good! or maybe I'm just a noob lol. If I could type faster I think I'll be able to experience the chaos properly. good game overall! good job!
The graphics of this game are magnificent! And so is the audio! However, I don’t think I noticed too much chaos going on in the game, and while the gameplay tries to get chaotic it instead got harder and frustrating too quickly for me ;[ But imagine players who are more skilled in terms of reaction speed and maybe players who have mastered touch typing can easily enjoy playing it.
Very nice job, one of the most polished entries in the jam so far.
That is such a good game. Art is on point. Really polished. What I did not quite like was the deactivation of the buttons for a time. Once 1 guy was through it was nearly impossible (at least for me) to get back. Overall really liked it! Super strong for a game jam!
Thanks a lot for playing! Yeah we did have a few difficulty balancing issues on the last build we were able to submit for the Game Jam. We uploaded an updated version of the game with a few fixes , we'd love it if you gave it a try!

The game is super polished and the changing controls really spice it all up and make it more chaotic. The graphics are amazing and probably the best I have seen yet in this jam.
Hey hey ~
I dug your game a lot! The mechanics were super solid, the visuals were enjoyable and the music was a nice touch. I'm really impressed at how clean the game looks given the timeframe it was made in.
When I was fighting the last boss I wasn't really sure if I was doing any damage or how close I was to the end. I think that I hit the 3-gem sequence like 3/4 times and wasn't sure if I was making any progress because it didn't move past it without another key input. I also noticed at one point that two of the keys ended up being the same color which made me lose some health.
All the UI was clean and made sense, and I think that your gameplay was super creative. I had a lot of fun playing this, great job!
Hey, thank you so much for your nice comment! Yeah unfortunately a few bugs made it into the final build that would not let you finish the game. We've uploaded an updated version of the game that fixes this issue, we'd love it if you gave it a try!
https://kie-ves.itch.io/the-kings-relic-v11A very solid entry with a unique playstyle.
Well done :)
Great game! The idea was cool. If you want to rate my game (would be greatly appreciated), check it out here: https://keahijufe.itch.io/chaos-run
Great music. The art also has lots of character! Nice work.
Really like the mechanic of changing controls and the exploration in style of old dungeon crawlers.
Really cool game!!! Amazing to play love the art!
Awesome game! Had a blast playing. Also loving the artstyle!
