How does your game fit the theme?
It's a backwards platformer where the princess has to save the knight and go down instead of up.

Funny little idea. Good Job :) Only glaring issue in my opinion is that holding down is basically a necessity the whole time, so the camera may as well be set like that without the need to press the button.
Otherwise, fun concept, well executed!
Good point, didn't think of that, think I have another solution for it which I will be adding, thanks for the review I appreciate it :D
It's like one of those Pou minigames but jump knight.
Lol thanks?
Nice game :)
Improvement ideas: particles and screenshake on impact.
That will most definitely be added to the game, was already planning on it, just ran out of time, thanks for the kind words and suggestion :D
Game became a lot easier once I started holding down. I like it.
Haha, I'm glad you figured it out, thanks for playing!
Really cool idea on how to use the Theme! It has the same intensity as game like jump king
That was the idea :D Thanks a lot man!
Fun idea, took a while to get used to looking down. Nice art and theme!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed :D
It is a very interesting idea. I felt like I was playing reverse Jump King. The game is solid but I would make the character movement a bit less floaty. But maybe it was a design choice to make the game harder idk. Anyways, great stuff!
If you mean the momentum in the air after jumping and releasing the move button, that was intentional as I felt an instant stop would be far too easy to control, I appreciate the comparison to jump king, that was exactly what I was going for! Thanks a lot for playing and leaving a review :D
Pretty interesting take! I love the UI and animations, and the gameplay is really interesting with unique mechanics. Great work!
Thanks man really appreciate it, I'll check your game out soon :)
