Soooo cute 🥺 I had such a fun time watching the lil guy go get his BIG SWORD ENERGY for the lady. Great art and cohesive story ^_^
Thanks for playing and we're glad you enjoyed the story!
This is very funny hahah! The health pickup is a bit unresponsive, but i really enjoyed playing it:D. Great Job!
Thank you so much!! I´m really glad you liked it!
Funny game. and nice artwork also.
Thank you!
Love the main character design
Thanks! He is a proud lil potato
A fun concept with a good gameplay loop. The combination of attacking in the movement direction and fast moving enemies you can't outrun resulted in quite a few deaths that felt very unfair, and the health drops seemed to entirely stop spawning after the 1st sword upgrade (not sure if this is a bug or intended difficulty increase). However, the artstyle and sound was very good and the urge to play "just one more run" to try to get further was enough to keep me playing for a while.
Thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed <3
Was this a big metaphor for small dicks? I felt attacked! (still had a lot of fun)
Really fun and quirky animation and design ! I found that only being able to attack in the direction you’re going makes this actually difficult, especially with the fastest enemies !
Thanks for playing! The fast enemies definitely add an element of difficulty to the gameplay
Lol funny game, nice job
Thanks for playing!
5/5 on style. Loved the art and the sound. Great game!
Thank you very much! We worked hard on the art for this game
Simple and a blast to play! Awesome artwork. Sounds are very fitting.
And the day will come I survive and will show the queen my giga big sword
We're glad you had fun! You can do it!
My sword might be too small but has the princess not seen my diagonal movement speed strats?
Ah, you must be a fellow knower of the sacred texts. Sorcery!!
I really like the art style, it reminds me a lot of another indie game whose name currently escapes me.
The voiced sound effects really remind me of a game called Hidden Folks, love it!
Fun game and nice humor, well done!
Thanks for playing! We're glad you enjoyed our game!
I don't care what the princess says. My sword is exactly the right size!
This is the right attitude! It's all about how you use what was bestowed upon you xD
Very fun game! Really nice art! Nice job!
Thank you so much!
Loved the artstyle and the sound effects/voices.. Fun game!
Glad you liked our game! Thanks for playing!
This has some of the best 2D art I've seen this jam, really well done and charming. An impressively polished game.
I kinda wish it was more of a Vampire Survivors auto attacker. But I really liked that as the sword got bigger, the character became slower.
Great job!
I´m so glad you like the art! Thank you so much for the kind comment :3
haha the symbolism on this one is something ^^
Overall nice idea and execution, really funny, art's great.. definitely one of my favourites so far
Thank you so much. We really appreciate you playing our game!
Fantastic art style! Good sense of humor. One note: since I'm mashing space bar anyway, could it toggle an auto-swing feature on and off (in either 360/180/90 degrees)?
That's definitely a good idea and one we had contemplated. We are glad you enjoyed our game!
This is so professional for a game jam! The concept is so funny, good job :)
Thank you very much! We put a lot of effort into this, so we appreciate the feedback
Amazing game! Charming visuals, great audio, controls felt fluid and intro was awesome. However, my first impressions were not that good because of the lack of sound at the menu, no music and SFX.
Thank you so much! But yeah, the SFX to the menu was on the list of things that we wished to add but didn´t have time hahaha.
