I love the art, the control is fun, I feel like this game has a good amount of polish in it.

King Spacebar is dead, long live the sword! Down with the bow which attacks so slowly it's not worth using :P

Submitted

I liked a more interesting take on the controls-disabled idea with the health bar, but I didn't find that the mechanic added more fun to a fairly standard top down combat game. Visuals were great!

Submitted

Great game, the errors and blue screen is really funny!

Submitted

Very funny concept, the attack is a bit cheesable but the whole game is almost perfectly polished. Very impressive work, cheers

Submitted

Fun interpretation of the theme. I think it was a good idea to always attack with space. The art is well done. What you have is nicely polished, and you did a great job.

Submitted

fun game and good idea. but the space key was not good choice

Cute little idea. I appreciate that the attack button didn't change, even if it felt pretty odd where it was.

Submitted

Pretty good, tough quite hard. when you get hitted once, you most likely get hitted more time before you can adjust to the new controls.

Submitted

Good mechanism!

Submitted

Interesting and fun take on the theme of the jam! For some reason when I started the game however, the windows was very zoomed in, i don't know what happened. Overall, great job!

Submitted

This is a super creative game and it feels good to play with all the polish. Very well done!

Submitted

Great idea, and well executed! Not sure if the changing control schemes when damaged make a big difference in gameplay just because it's so hard to divert your fingers to one of those control schemes, but it's a neat gimmick nonetheless.

Submitted

Very clean execution of the concept. I loved the giant Windows key enemies! I ran into two issues while playing: 1, the game was much larger than my browser window, so I had to make the zoom very small to fit on my 1080p screen. 2. During the battle in the room with the crown the entire game unexpectedly went black.

Submitted

Cool! The game really has a personality, it feels good and plays well. Good job.

Submitted

Really neat concept! I took a similar take on the theme for my game, with changing the control scheme. What you did with the keyboard as health -- super creative. Also the art is great.

Submitted

Cool art and interesting concept, but as someone who isn't great at paying attention the sudden control shift without really noticing when/that it happened made it pretty confusing.

Love the pun you made out of the theme.

Submitted

This was a great game! The combat is really nice and juicy :)

Sometimes the game can get a little spammy, but overall this is a well-made and fun game! Good job!

Submitted

Great interpretation of the theme! It gets confusing, but I believe that's intended. I found the combat to be a a bit spammy too, but it's great game overall. Would be even better with some music!

Developer

The controls are intentionally confusing, I agree the combat isn't as good as I'd like it to be. Yes music would be great! Thanks for playing :)
