That's an unusual take on the mechanics. I feel that the power-ups that make the sword bigger are working against me. Yeah, I think the main character in this game is THE SWORD. This game is very enjoyable for its originality.
it's very...strange...but fun in a way. It's like lawn mower simulator but a big magic sword that level up to chop more bigger things. Nice entry.
Nice entry! I thought the gameplay was fun but it doesn't really amount to anything. I think adding even some simple enemies would go a long way. I like how you work your way up to chopping down bigger things and the sound effects are spot on. Nice work!
Hi!
It seems that I didn't have time to kill some enemy and then maybe level 13 is the final one?
From the beginning, I didn't really understand what was going on, but when I was finally able to see the opponents in the form of grass, everything fell into place :).
A good system of sword upgrades with each level. Basically, I invested in strength. Also, the sound is sufficient to complement the gameplay.
Overall I enjoyed everything and had fun swinging the sword, congratulations!
Beautiful graphics and progress bars!, took me a while to understand the controls, so I went back to tutorial and yep, now scored 56 instead of 6 as did previously, nice concept!! also like the upgrade system.
Interesting game! Good job on the artwork. Combo-ing multiple stones with bounce was satisfying!
Could have added some background music for the ambiance. It should not be game over when everything has been cut on the map. Also, I would like to see the remaining items when their number becomes too small. Anyway, it was a great game overall.
Oh man this is fun :). Very satisfying!
The sword is very satisfying once you have a few of those upgrades in. The arts also very strong. As mentioned in other comments mentioned, it kind of needs enemies of some kind to ramp up the difficulty and have a reason to keep playing. I also think it might be interesting if the things you collected from the trees and rocks could be used to buy specific upgrades and stuff. It's a very good start to a game. Congrats.
Cool idea! I kinda ran out of things to smash once my sword got strong enough. Really could only start progressing once I got it to bounce erratically between rocks and trees, which was very interesting. Gameplay-wise it’s missing something, like it kinda just hits me like I’m helping the knight do yardwork haha. That said, I really like the graphics, especially the design of the knight character and the title screen. Well done!
Nice Game
Nice concept!
The concept is super nice. The art is cool, UI is great. I am almost disappointed that I couldn’t fight true enemies because the potential is immense. Great job !
Enemies are on the way! After rating is over, a lot of comments have suggested for the game to continue and for enemies to start spawning - so I promise you it will happen in the game's first update! Stay tuned friend!
Thanks !
Looks great, interesting concept. Made me feel like a super powered weedwhacker. Definitely needs some interesting enemies, ran out of grass, trees and rocks very quickly. Good work!
Nice work. I really enjoyed the art style.
A very good game, simple but beautiful graphics, but there comes a time when you run out of objects to destroy. I don't know if I got lost on the map 10/10
I'm happy to hear you got that! As for the map, it's only a 60x60 tile grid. Sounds like you've beaten my challenge! We plan to make object refreshments and new maps as the game goes on, so stay tuned after voting is over for a big update!
Felt awkward trying to get the sword spinning at first, but once the upgrades start rolling it its awesome.
It could really use some actual enemies though, hacking rocks and trees isnt particularly fun.
The visuals are super good and everything feels really stylistic and cohesive. this game deserves to be updated, it could become something truly awesome :D
Great submission all around!
Of course! We have enemies planned, they were just cut for the scope of the jam - look out for volcanoes, mountains, avalanches, and other enemies!
Gg
Really fun game!
Good gameđź‘Ť
