Neat little game! Art is the highlight but the platforming is no slouch too. I really enjoyed being able to use the swords as a traversal method. Presumably its inspired by weapon swap mods for games like Dark Souls? Really cool seeing a game based around something like that. Nice work
Thank you! We originally wanted to give sword even more traversal mechanics (e.g. the big sword to push yourself up on ledges) but we couldn't make it work in time. And it is actually not inspired by a dark souls mod, but I might have to give that a try :D
I loveee the art, cute but unique too! Finally a game about combat besides puzzles :D really liked the swords! The platforming was a bit too hard for me... it felt like the enemy kept pushing me and I jumped to low
Thank you very much! My girlfriend did all the art and is very happy you guys seem to like it! I agree that the platforming and physics is a little wonky, we simply ran out of time to really polish that up.
I don't like platformers. The art was super cute, I was wowed when it first launched up. Great job! I never got off the ground level because I'm bad lol
Thank you so much! It was actually my girlfriend's first ever game jam/general game making experience and she is so happy that everyone likes her art!
Okay, the controls may have been incredibly difficult to wrangle... BUT I can completely forgive it because of how much I love everything else about this game. Switch weapons randomly and having the weight affect your movement is an awesome concept, and the overall visual style is an absolute delight. Great work!
WOW - Swinkly played my game :O - love your videos, thank you very much! Yeah I find controls really hard, you handled those much better :D
Nice idea! Switching stats and scale of the weapon made for some interesting quick decisions to make it through the level!
Thank you! :)
Aphelious went crazy in this one
Evil Witch is dead! Fun little game!
Thank you very much for playing! And props to you, she is not easy to beat!!
