I loved the concept of using the joined mechanic as a hindrance and a benefit. You really didn't want to be joined that way since the platforming felt better, but you needed the big brute to smash thru the level. The only real complaint I had was the controls when joined together since the game started to lag pretty heavily and made it near impossible to make some jumps. There might have been some optimization issues with the code to lead to that since I noticed how bloated the game file size was. Typically a game like this would be around 40MB or under and this is surpassing 130MB.
I played it here:
This is a truly wonderful game, and the presentation was fantastic. Loved the king, loved the knight, and picking up those gems felt amazing. The movement feels a little floaty and slidey, and I felt like I slide off platforms I didn't want to, but that's a minor problem in a great experience. Loved it.
(As a note: I played with a controller)
Good concept ! Loved the game design. The knight has some abilities as well as it restricts us by taking some brisk movements from us. The same does the levels. Very cool . Loved it.
Despite the fact that I was an idiot and ran it off my USB drive, I had a lot of fun playing this!! The music is good, the visuals poped, and it feels great to play. I did get the bonus horde at the end despite how tough and how many tries it took!!
Great work with hit effect. Also fun idea.
This is probably my favorite interpretation of the theme. The level design supports this idea too, just wish that the controls better fit the platforming. Great job!
Looks really nice and has some fun mechanics! Nice job :)
Nice art and gameplay ! Good job !
Really cool art and platforming :)
