I'm a big fan of the pixel art and the concept goes a long way since the hero really gets tougher each time, very impressive. The collision between the player sword and the hero is a bit wonky though, often my sword went right through him but no damage. With a bigger move set and more playable characters this could be very nice!
I died at the same time that I killed the hero so I don't know how the game ends lol
Thank you!! I like how it turned out even in this rough state and im thinking of completing it,
i should really add stamina and work on movesets
The graphics and the music are really cool.
Thank you!!!!!!!!
I don't know if it is bugged but the Player get's dumber every time I rebirth
it's continuously Red and goes around aimlessly
yea, sounds like a bug :(
Very nice! I really like the concept! I used a similar concept in my game, only here the hero is actually competent (and gets competenter as the game progresses). Really well done!
very cool game, I liked the idea, the implementation of this idea and the design!
(there is a funny bug here: if both the player and the guardian die at the same time, the game will freeze)
Thank you!!
I also found that bug, but it was too late :(
Awesome game, really makes the feel of beign a boss fighting a player, well implemented mechanics and fun game loop, congrats!
Great game! Good idea that was executed well.
