How does your game fit the theme?
In our game we reversed the classical roles of Hero and Princess. The Heros are trying to save the princess from her lonly tower but instead of playing the Hero you are playing the Princess and don't want to be saved. Our main gameplay mechanics were inspired by the first classical Donkey Kong game for arcade. Another twist of the game is that similar as in the first Donkey Kong game there is one character on top of a platform (like Donkey kong in the classical game) and one character trying to reach the top (like Jumpman in the classical game) but these two roles are reversed and you are not playing "Jumpman" but "Donkey Kong".

The game is cute and fun. I like the double role reversal (both the damsel in distress trope and donkey kong mechanics).
Hi. We really liked many things in Not another hero. We created a youtube video and I mentioned it. If you'd like to watch it
Thank you very much! We're glad you liked it. Great video! Thank you for mentioning us.
Thanks for watching our video and for creating this game.
Great Game. The game is a bit easy, but still fun.
It's a fun casual game with fitting music (my favorite part) and gameplay. I like how you interpreted the theme. Great job!
I had a lot of fun playing it's funny as a game.
The art style works so well! It's so pretty. It's a bit easy I'd like waves with more and more knights overtime, but I had a lot of fun really. Such a good game. Great work!
Thank you so much, we'll add more waves and different type of knights in the future!
I'm looking forward to it!
Very enjoyable game! I really liked that I can use the pots in multiple ways (throwing and rolling). The game was a little too easy, but I still had a lot of fun, plus I also like the art style, reminds me of Thomas Brushe's games!
Thanks a lot!
A solid game. I played it for a bit and I really enjoyed the presentation. A really cute art style, great SFX and music. I commented earlier and said I wish there were different eny types, but then I saw them in the screen shot. I think I wish the game was a little faster because it was a bit too easy for me, I think the knights could have a little bit of a speed boost to make it more of a challenge to manage going around the tower. The pot rolling mechanic is fun, getting a combo on knights like that felt good. A solid game!
Cool Idea, looks great
A nice little game, well done! I think maybe it could have done with there being more routes through the tower, as its currently quite easy to cheese it by letting them build up as they climb and then hitting them all at once. But I like the style and it was fun to play!
A nice defence like game, really like the option to roll the barrels/pots down the stairs aswel.
great twist! I love how princess slaughter heroes
nice defense game indeed!
Loved the game, especialy the music. Would've been cool to see if the dragon could have done anything, but probably something that would take extra time. Awesome work!
Nice and simple game :)
Fun!
Love the twist of the heroes being the enemies. A little on the simple side, but very entertaining
very cute and fun little game! the sound effects are really juicy, how did you make them? I would also suggest maybe adding a level of difficulty by allowing the heroes to jump from time to time so they don't get crushed by the rolling pot every single time. wonderful submission though.
oh and very random question, but do you watch Thomas Brush by any chance? your art really reminds me of his style
Thank you so much! We created the sound effects by mixing recorded sounds and sounds which we already had. Yes I know Thomas Brush. His art inspired me!
A really creative idea on the theme! It would be nice if the stage/castle were a bit bigger and with more space for u to throw the things at
Thanks for playing the game! Yap a good idea!
Made me laugh! A really funny take on the theme. Agree with others that it’s a bit too easy, and there seems to be no end goal or at least score.
Thank you! Yeah we wanted to add a time score or kill score or waves but we had no more time
Nice little game. A bit too easy for my taste, and some knights seem to bug (getting stuck,, floating), but overall a good entry!
Yes there are a few bugs in the game and the levelprogression is a bit broken. It was our first game jam and we misjudged our time management a bit. But it was a lot of fun and we learned a lot! Thanks for playing!
