In what way does your game fit the theme?
In this game your character throws potions that have random effects like duplicating an enemy or making it bigger and as the level progresses your character gets scared and throws potions more frequently so the level becomes very chaotic.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes all the code was made by us, and all the assets were made from scratch, the only piece of art that we didn't make was the main menu music, that came from a bundle we bought.

great game !
Thanks :D
Game implements theme pretty well. Like effects of potions for most part but bigger enemies were anoying in way that they were road block, waiting for bigger sword to kill them allowed panick to stack up which then can do all sort of shit to next knight. But overall one of the better games I played so far.
Glad you liked it :D also thanks for playing and giving feedback we'll keep it in mind <3
Solid stuff all around, pretty much no real complaints except lack of enemy/gameplay variety, maybe the dagger could be a bit better. The core foundation of the game is fun though.
Also personal preference thing but w instead of space as the jump feels bad, especially with the good double jump you have.
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it, also thanks for the feedback, we'll keep it in mind <3
Good art style
Thanks :D
One of the most well-done games in the game jam. The art is great, the Sound is great, the Game feels great overall, and the chaos is well done.
The only thing I can nitpick out of this is just a quality of life change to make the jumping from W to Space since I am more used to that.
Overall, quite possibly the best game I have played in this jam!
Make sure to upload a full version with maybe even some more story as a seperate game in the jam!
Thank you for the comment, I'm glad that you liked it :D it is so nice seeing this kind of comments, you are awesome <3
hmmmmm
This game is "COOL"
and especially loved the music :D
Thanks, glad you liked the music :D
Made it through to the end and it fits the theme really well! The involuntary aspect of throwing the potions and them having negative effects feels very unique to me and makes for a compelling game. I like the visual style of the game especially the thumbnail and the knight character. The lighting and background were good but the foreground scale feels a bit off (it feels like a tiny character running around on a desk or something).
The main menu music fits great and the in-game music sounded good to me, with the sound effects being even better. Also I like the integrated tutorial, but it would be nicer if each trigger area was a bit larger because I kept running straight through them and having to backtrack.
I found it quite difficult to dodge the knight's thrown swords, so maybe one could consider slowing them down a bit? The potion throwing mechanic worked nicely although it seemingly became easy to end up in a failure state were enemies keep duplicating faster than you can defeat them and the player is basically forced to retry the level. I was missing a bit of variety in the later levels but I know that you only had one week to work on the game.
All in all a very nice effort, I enjoyed it!

Way to go! my god this was fantastic! love the visuals, the sound, the double jump button does need more work, but didn't take me out of the experience! great job

We loved this game! We played over and over until we made it to the end :) great idea, great fun, great game! Good job!
So glad you liked it, thanks for taking the time to play it, your are awesome <3
The way that staying more in the caused your character to panic was a really nice way to match the theme and made for some pretty interesting encounters. The game looks pretty nice, and the music was alright, only wish that it continued when switching between menus. The sounds didn't fit at all to the cartoonish blocky style of the game. The controls worked well, I just wish that you would be able to jump higher (I know about the double jump, but it feels really uncomfortable to jump so low). Pretty interesting game with unique take on the concept.
Hey thanks for taking the time to write your feedback it helps us a lot <3 you are awesome :D
Very nice! I got some pretty quick runs in, but sometime the giant potion would totally mess me up. I like the models as well!
Hey thanks for giving a try <3
