Nice little game and pretty hard to beat. Love the grafics!
Thank you!
Very nice presentation! I wish the dinosaur was a bit easier to control, but I reckon that would wreck the games balance. I love the way the bombs work, and that the knights can drop 3 different things.
Well done!
Thank you!!! No one had talked about the loot of the knights which is the thing that took more time making. Thank you for the feedback!
Nice dynamic music! Idea and art also pretty cute :3 Hard controllers make sense and increase interest! Well done!
I was thinking where should I spend the gold, but it seems you did not have time to add it to the game
Thank you!!! The gold is the final score you get. I did not have time to make any other function to it. Im glad you liked the game :D
Cute art style! It would’ve been nice to have a bigger or a different shaped room. I also think the game loop is a tad too simple, maybe having the dragon simultaneously prevent the princess from trying to escape would add some more challenge. I also want to say that having contact damage since you’re a boss is a very nice touch. Overall, nice game!
Thank you for the feedback! I could have added the princess an ai state machine or something so she did different things but I never made one so I just made her go up and down randomly, but its a good idea but thank you for playing it and im glad you liked it :D
Controls are a bit hard, friction might be increased. But very cool visuals and nice idea. Well done!
Thank you! I have been talking about the friction movement thing but I cannot change it now unfortunately. But thank you for playing it!
Super fun game, despite a simple premise. The gameplay loop was really fun and satisfying. I'm assuming the slippy movement was intentional as it made the game very silly and hard to control (in a good way i think). Great entry !!!!
Thank you so much! Yup the movement was made intentional but maybe I did it a bit too much slippery. But Im glad you liked the game as much as I did with yours :)
Albeit simple in concept, this was actually tons of fun!
the visuals are nice and the gameplay loop while simple was well made, overall a very solid entry, other than the slippery movement everything was nice, I would only would have liked more feedback and effects, a little bit more polish would really turn it into a wonderful experience, smart Idea and great execution, well done indeed!
Thank you for your feedback! Is true that I could add some effects for when you take damage and other stuff but I was running out of time becouse I just had a day to do it. Im glad you liked the game and its idea!
Interersting mario-like reverse :)
Very nice and cute art
hahah thank you!!!
Cool concept! The dragon's movement was pretty slippery, but other than that, this was fun to play!
Thanks! I been talking a lot about the movement thats right. For the next time Ill have it in mind.
The bouncy movement of the dragon makes it more interesting. The art is very cute. Perhaps adding some effects so players know they are taking damage, and some invincibility time after damage. Still, very good game
Thank you for the feedback! I didnt thought about the invencibility time but its right sometimes you can run into several fires and die very fast so Ill have that in mind. And about the effect on damage I really wanted to do it but I didnt have enough time to think how to make it.
Enjoyed a lot the game and the polished arts. Great work!
Thank you!!!
Very nice game! The art is very cute. For once you get to play as the one who somehow deals damage on contact.
Thank you! Contact damage was something I needed to put since all bosses and enemies on other games deal that type of damage.
Pretty fun, didnt win though
Thanks! Its true that winning is not that easy in this Game
I love the inversion where you play as a boss! we did something similar in our game.
Thank you! Ill play your Game tomorrow once I get to my pc. Thanks for playing ☺️
Garnacha! This is a cute, clever game! You did a great job on this. I especially love your art!
Thank you so much!! The tilemap was the only thing not made by me but Im reeally glad you liked the art on the game. Thanks again! Edit: I played your game yesterday and I found it amazing. Idk if I posted a comment but I rated it the maximun in everything. You did a very good job.
Thanks friend :D much appreciated!!
the polish though! Great game. and cool take on the theme
Thank you! I didnt have any time to polish it becouse I wasted an entire jam day with the family.
Good job man, that was alot of fun to play. The dragon is rly cute btw
Thanks!!! The dragon is everyones favorite thing im sure
Really good idea, i could definitely see this being expanded into a full game. I like the music a lot and the art is very cute
Thanks! I cannot edit the game becouse the project corrupted but I could remake it someday and expand it.
That dinosaur is a slippery one! Fun idea but it would definitely would benefit from tightening up the controls.
Thanks for the feedback! The controls is something Ill take in mind for my next game. I wanted to make it slide and bounce but I noticed I maybe did it too much. Anyways tysm for playing :)
The soundtrack is fire! I love the fact that the animation of the knights matches the rhythm of the music. The pixel art itself is also very good. One thing I would suggest doing is making the movement of the dinosaur just a little more responsive. Overall one of the best games I've played so far.
Im glad you liked it! About the movement many people have been saying the same but unfortunately I cannot change it now. Im so happy to hear its one of the best ones!
