I like the idea of an escort mission game where you play as the escortee, trying to cope with someone more skilled than you but less smart. There's a lot of potential there. I know you didn't have an artist, but I wonder if finding some sort of a "princess" image or something for the player character would have been worth the improvement over having everyone look like the same recolored knight. More tutorialization would also have been helpful, as I thought at first that medkits were useless since I didn't realize they could be thrown at the hero. I think an interesting spin on this idea would make the player character a lot more maneuverable so they could more easily tank hits for the hero.
Nice arts! I appreciate the idea too, i had some difficulty since there is no tutorial in the game! But I was able to play after a while! Well done! :)
Nice visuals and idea, but it has its fair share of problems that bog down the game:
