It is a really good game, considering you were alone it is even more impressive!
Well done!

The design is cool and systemwise it felt complete. I liked you could shoot fireballs upstairs to safe some walking, but it was pretty hard and could use a little more balancing imho

I ran into a bug where once I died and was sent back to the title screen, when I clicked Start the title screen didn't disappear, but I heard sword swiping and clanging so the game was still playing in the background :) Another bug I had was that I wasn't able to click to walk if there was an item on the ground or a spell effect there. I also seemed to lose health without the knights actually taking a swing for me, so it seems like they were attacking me but the animation didn't play.

I was able to restart the game and play it and it was fine.

I'm rubbish at this game, I found it difficult to play, but got easier the more I played it. I think the knights take down the stations too quickly, even on easy, and when I use the fireball it passes straight through them without damage sometimes.

Overall though it's a great game, I enjoyed the concept, especially give you've got a years experience. Love the aesthetics and the music and sfx are nice.

I didn't understand what the green potion did, I thought maybe it was health but didn't notice my health going back up. That purple spell is the best though, just set it on the floor and watch the knights perish, great when I didn't have time to run between the levels to fight them off.

Great work.

really cool game! the different abilities were really well executed. The 3D visuals are excellent everything is well textured and well lit. Some nice effects as well! I saw from your page that this represents your first full year of working on game development that is an awesome achievement. Keep up the great work!

This game is absolutely fantastic! The artwork is mesmerizing, and the mechanics are brilliantly designed. It’s a fun, engaging experience that I absolutely loved. Awesome job!

I AM ASCENDANT! FEAR ME MORTALS!

Always nice to play the bad guy sometimes. Short and sweet, but nice and fun as well, so no complaints here.

Looks beautiful! I think it's mostly a me issue, but I restarted several times and I kept losing really fast. I had a bit of trouble with right clicking a place that would successfully cause Edrick to move, so I'd stand around for a while before getting moving. The environment and models looks amazing and very polished, and the music really works as well! Great job!!!

Cool and short game. Sometimes it was hard to hit the guards or collect the resources from the floor as I was not positioned 100% correctly. But other than that it was a fun little game, which I really enjoyed. Good job!

Really liked the sound effects. A proper squish is very satisfying. Maybe give Edrick a little more health as it was very easy to be squished myself very early on!

Interesting perspective and mechanics, I thought it was an immersive experience. Nice job on the game!

The game idea of defending is good but I had hard time to master the fight mechanics. Some time where you can be frustrated because the melee hit won't go off or your fireball seem to hit the ceiling instead of your target. I think a better fight integration will serve a great concept.

I like the way you put all the assets together.  I found it difficult to stay alive for long but these aren't my strongest games to begin with.  I had fun though and that's what matters! Great job

I tried, I'm just not good ...

The graphics look great and I love the little setting that the game takes place in! The game seemed intriguing but I must have just been really bad at it. Even on easy mode it was over in a matter of seconds! Nice job on all the work you've done on this project.

LOVE IT! Such a creative idea. The story is absolutely amazing. It is a bit difficult though.

Submitted(+1)

Okay. Once I switched over to the desktop, movement was so much easier. It's a really pretty looking game! The sound effects are great, too. I like the premise. It's got a good pace to it.

Nice game, the graphics are great and movement is smooth. There are very nice mechanics here that seem to work very well, very nice. I had a hard time surviving, died alot :P

I like the graphics and overall presentation of the game. I was quite bad at the game though  😵. It looks like a lot of effort went into this. Well done!  😎

Wow, this was great! As others have said, took a moment to get used to the controls, but once I got it, it was so fun! Great job getting all of this done in 10 days :)
