Awesome and creative! I like the idea of being a healer. The gameplay was simple, but addicting. This game deserves more ratings!

Cool concept, could easily be expanded with more enemy types and different levels. Really cool!

Good game!

Nice art, I liked playing the healer.

The gameplay intrigued me and I got hooked after 5 more play-throughs. It's awesome!

Loved the art and atmosphere of this game! It was super polished overall, which is crazy for this short jam. Loved the game overall, and I would love if you played mine when you can :)

this is a very cool idea, I thought about doing it before the jam

I love your interpretation of the theme and artstyle! :D (Oh and I laughed hard when I saw the butterfly-logo!) You really deserve more ratings!

Submitted

Nice game and clever take on the theme :D

Wow! Your art style is incredible. Love what you've done with this game. Simple, clever, beautiful fun. Great job on the custom music too, even if it has room for improvement I think you've got a great little project here!

The knight is a fast boy, its fun to chase him and try cure him!

Fun to play! Maybe the font of the tutorial is a little unreadable but not to bad

Submitted

extremely underrated!

I've played this for at least 10 minutes, it is really fun, the only thing that I think could've been improved is the music, but all in all, well done!

Thank you! I am not very experienced in music and have made the game on my own so it is to be unfortunately expected.

I love the art and music! However, I found myself just mashing the up and left keys and never using the right arrow...

Developer (1 edit)

Hmm, I guess you can  play that way although I use it for getting away with more risky plays such as jumping into a lot of enemies to use my left arrow skill. Well, I'd say it's just a gameplay style

I will attempt to change that in some way in a post-jam update if I end up making one
