Nice ambiance but everything is very dark, maybe some outline around the enemies would improve the readability.

This game is absolutely phenomenal! The artwork is stunning, and the mechanics are perfectly executed. It offers an immersive and thrilling experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. Incredible job!

Submitted

Really nice game, I love the assets, the animation are very fluid! The hardest part is to time your combos. Did you try the Zombie Trapper? Keep up the good work!

Nice submission! 

Here are some things I particularly liked:

  • Good choice and use of (assets art, SFX and music)
  • Cool combo system
  • A really nice and well written game page
  • Levelling system
  • A mix of challenges (standard enemy, boss and hazards/traps)
  • Having a decent tutorial

Here are a couple of things I think could be improved:

  • Being able to fully skip the tutorial on replays (maybe a checkpoint after the tutorial could do that)
  • Making it clearer that you can and should level up before facing the boss

Overall, great job :)

Submitted

Game looks great, and is very responsive... well done!

Nice action game. There is a huge difference of difficulty between the skeletons of lvl2 and the ninja guy of lvl3 lol!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yea that’s been a common thread, I think I’ll nerf him a bit or add a difficulty setting after the jam ends. If you level up the attack bonus and extra hp make him a bit easier to take down.

amazing game!. but the guy in the third room kil me every time

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!  I will probably add in a difficulty setting in a future release.

Submitted

Cool game! I like the way you did combo attacks, the animations were really good. Is the guy in the third room supposed to kill you in 1 hit? Couldn't manage to beat him

Developer

If you don't level up first yea he's pretty tough.  Thanks for checking it out!

Submitted

Nice!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Nice game! Maybe a little too dark in some spot but it was god for a 10 days jam! Great work

Developer

Thank you! I was thinking if I take this further that the castle would slowly get lighter as you progress but I appreciate the feedback.

Submitted

This was a ton of fun! Great job!

Developer

I appreciate it, thanks for playing!

Submitted

Love the attack animations, very smooth!

Developer

Thank you!

I love metroidvanias, I had a lot of fun with this one.

My only complaint is sometimes holding the attack button would cancel my attack entirely.

Thanks for playing, and thanks for the feedback, the combo system could use a bit of work still.
