Cool idea with the enemy based weapons. I like the spritework. Bonus points for controller compatibility and the color palette choice.

Submitted

I really like this game! Getting new weapons from enemies has that satisfying Kirby feel. Solid platforming, great graphics. Some puzzle elements would really take this game to the next level, but you've got a great here!

Submitted

Great work overall. The knight carrying an oversized weapon reminds me of Little Nightmares.

The game is very charming! Good job given the timeframe! My only complaint is using shift to jump and control for interacting. It feels clunky when using WASD for movement.

I love the concept, It was a bit frustrating falling on a bottomless pit every time i try the bat sword, there is not much space to try. The difficult itself is pretty good for my tastes, except for these cheap deaths (that also wouldnt be that bad if there are checkpoints in these places).

Great work anyway <3

This game is pretty hard, which makes sense for the Game Boy vibe. I think part of that is because I'm playing with the keyboard and not a gamepad, I've never been good at platformers with keyboard controls. I will say that the knife-bat combo makes for a great speedrun tool lol ^_^


Very fun! I like this a lot :>

Having the multi-palettes was a huge flex. I got stuck on what I think was level 4? I've got a VOD i'll link to later that has the moment I had issue with if you'd like to check it out

Developer

Sure! we'd love to see the Vod if only cause then we can kinda learn from it for the future!

Honestly very fun, I wasn't expecting being able to acquire different weapons and I had the most fun with the wing knife! Very good job on this submission!

Submitted(+1)

This is pretty nice, the platforming feels good and the different weapons are cool, the art looks great and the audio is nice. spooky is kinda basic but it's not the end of the world. overall this is well made and is fun.

Very nice platformer! I can see that game existing on the real GameBoy :D

Submitted

Great job! (sorry I couldn't figure out the buttons to pick stuff up!) Review + gameplay here:: 

Developer(+1)

We did say the keys that pick knives up directly next to the knife in that tutorial, but I apologize if it was not clear!

Submitted

My bad, sorry!

That was fun! A little janky at times, but it was fun getting all the knives and clearing all the levels. I will admit: I abused the wing knife a lot; it was quite fun to do! The art is proficient and the character designs are charming.

Good work!

Submitted(+1)

Awesome.

The titular knife was, unfortunately, the worse weapon hahaha. Bone was more versatile than wing or anything else.

really great art. congratulations

Developer

All the weapons are knives not just the first one! Source: just trust me bro

Submitted(+2)

In this case, Bone Knife was the BEST.

Now that you said it, it is obviously a knife, my mistake.

(again, great game)

Great gameplay, I enjoyed a lot looking for the different weapons!

Nice work! I loved the art and the soundtrack

Submitted(+1)

Managed to get an enemy stuck in the ground by jumping on them lol.
But good work all around. The sounds are pleasant, the music unobtrusive. Controls are smooth.

Submitted(+1)

Awesome art! Great concept, love the variety of weapons. It looks very polished, congrats!

Submitted(+1)

The gameplay is really effective, the bat knife was satisfying to play!

Submitted(+1)

Cool variety of enemies and weapons! Great job!

Great videogame. I like the graphic style and the weapon upgrades. The music and sound effects are great. Excellent work!
