The player can fight enemies and traverse the level with an enchanted hammer that was literally built to scale. It gets the job done, even against scaled-up giant cats.

Nice art style, whenever I slipped off the edge though I fell forever!

Looks amazing and plays really well with the hammer, well done! :)

Finnicky jumps but easily the most interesting world I've seen in this jam so far

Developer

Thanks for your feedback, and wow! Thanks for taking interest in our worldbuilding :D Would you like to explain a little more what made the jump finnicky for you? We’ll surely use your feedback to make it better in the next update :)

I like the dark, gothic vibe of the art style. The movement was a little bit finicky to me. Good job overall!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback :D Glad you liked it

Good mechanics and sound design! I did find a bug that when I fell to my death near the beginning, it was an endless fall and no do over, had to restart manually to continue

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! We will definitely implement a better (or any ahah) game flow for the next update

The artstyle is great! 

Developer

Thanks! The artist never approached pixel art before so he’s really happy to hear all these appreciations :)

Developer

Thanks, I will try my best to improve my artistic ability!!

This needs to be longer! Really enjoyed playing it and can't wait for this to get further updates and continue playing. I especially liked the mice dialogs lol

Developer

I spent a lot of time on dialogs, maybe too much 🤣 Thanks for your feedback :3

Developer

Thanks for playing!!

I couldn't really figure out how to go forward but I still really liked the ambiance and execution of the game. Good job!

Developer

Unfortunately a big chunk of the game is missing, but we're glad you liked it! We will most surely post an update after the voting period is over :)

I feel the game isn't complete, as I couldn't find where to go further. I was trying to jump downwards, which only led to me continuing to fall.  But the art of the game is good, and the dark vibe is well presented. 

Developer

Yes unfortunaltely we weren't able to make the last update on time (been awake for 40+ hrs, kind of thinking slow ahah). I'm glad you liked the art, and thanks for your feedback!

I liked the theme of the dark ambiance.

I got stuck at the magic circle. I don't know where to go from there.

I had to reset the game a few time because I tried to hit the magic circle and was falling.

Developer(+1)

If you're talking about the one suspended between two platforms you should click rmb or right shoulder to place an enlarged hammer there! Thanks for your feedback on the ambience, much appreciated!

Thanks! I was able to get to the cat and win the fight!

Developer

Thanks for playing !!!

It's a shame that you couldn't update the game in time in the end, I can see how the gameplay ended up a little janky, but the art looks cool and the ideas are there! I'll keep an eye out for the updated version of this :)

Developer

Thanks we'll make sure to put it out as soon as the voting period is closed. We're very happy you liked the art, as Metaphor has never done pixel art before and it was a big challenge for him!

Submitted(+1)

The combat was a bit difficult to get the hang of (I think due to lack of notable damage feedback?), but I really like the hammer mechanic itself! 

Developer

It was tricky to get it right and it still is a bit clunky, but I am glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your feedback!

Submitted(+1)

loved it! you do have to avoid the cliffs though, or you will have to restart

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I loved that you loved it :D
