This is a good interpretation of the theme. I like most of the puzzles, though for some of them I feel the solution to be unsatisfying, since a lot of the parts weren't used in my solution. The music is great!
Such a great concept, the intro was short and straight to the point, puzzles cleverly made. art was nice, even tho it felt that its the one thing the game can be improved on, some better art and juiciness would make it worth of buying.
Also, I felt like i cheated my way out of some puzzles and didnt play them the way intended since I didnt use/care about half the room
Congrats on your entry, and best of luck!
Cool idea and execution! The intro was great, art is super-nice and I enjoyed the puzzles, they were pretty clever :)
That was a cool intro! i really like the puzzle mechanic. you have to think about each move. If you like this idea, keep working on it! Awesome job submitting a clever game to this jam and I hope you improve your game making skills. If you have time, please check out my game :D
A really neat idea with a pretty execution and a lovely aesthetic! I like that the sword has a personality of its own, I just always enjoy those kind of story and character creation things. I really dig this game's art style, and I'm loving the background music. The music both suits the mood, and is totally my favoured genre of music. Lovely work! :D
Such a fun little game with a great presentation. The graphics are super cute and the music is fun to listen to while you break your brain over how to solve the puzzle. The puzzles are well designed and you grasp the concept of every level relatively fast.
Nicely done!
Presentation worked great - saturday morning cartoon meets chip's challenge? I'd echo that the difficulty ramp in the fireball room was too high, but I really enjoyed this one -- a fresh & creative take on the block pusher genre.
Some levels I feel like I skipped through since there were extra things I didn't interact with but maybe that's intentional.
Really fun puzzle game.
I can easily see this premise lasting for dozens of more levels without getting old.
I finished it and I'm glad the sword wasn't actually *that* mad in the end.
Everyone needs a bro-sword.
This game it's great, a shot top down puzzle, the out of control theme does stick with it The artistic style is a nice low pixel hand drawn, with a soft colour pallet, it's really good for a 48 hour game jam, the enemy design fits with the medieval theme, except for that silly pink ball monster, but it looks silly anyways, it adds a funny essence when playing. The music it's great, the instruments fits more with an otherworldly feeling rather than a medieval ambience, but it covers that hole with the magic of the game, sounds are pretty good, specially that one when you charge with the sword The mechanic kind of sticks with the theme, when you go with your sword launching crazy to enemies, the feeling of trying to keep the blood meter under control gives it a different meaning to the theme it's a great game, I love the concept of the blood sword killing you if the blood meter reaches its limit, it's both artistically and mechanically fantastic.
Really cool puzzler. difficulty ramped up super fast at the room with the fireballs but just goes to show the idea is solid for interesting puzzles
Fun puzzler, I do think that the difficulty ramps up pretty fast tbough! Otherwise, nice.
