Someone should find this king some armor and a bow so he can help me fight the spiders...

Great atmosphere with the darkness in the forest.  It really feels like we're lost someplace we don't want to be.  Never mind the giant spiders seemingly coming from everywhere.

I'd recommend trying to avoid placing only halves of trees all over and letting the player see the void outside of the game world.  It makes the design seem a bit rushed!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, yeah the void of the game world was rushed and i will take you advice so i can make better game design.  Anyways, thank you again!

Very cool idea! Found it a little difficult to play, but loved the concept!

Your king needs a crown! :D Nice game - the king protection mechanic reminded me a little of Just King. I would have liked to see a little more enemy variety but understand this can be a little difficult given the time constraint. Enjoyed the speed potion a lot :) Good job!

This game actually reminds me Ico a little bit, quite challenging as well, I like the concept when you have to defend someone, exploration bit pretty neat!

Cool game!

I like the concept, but I found that it was a bit too difficult at times with a swarm of enemies descending on you and the king getting stuck between you and the enemies. With some balancing this could be a lot of fun!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for that feedback. I will take your word and balance the game after the jam.

I found it reaaaally hard, but I did love the attention to the bow position switching and your use of the assets!

Thank you for playing my game, i see a lot of people are having that same statement that it was hard. I will work on it after the jam.

Very cute and immediate and effective gameplay. It also has just the right amount of challenge. Maybe I would put a general audio track to create an even more tense atmosphere.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! i hope you have enjoyed the game. Yeah, i was not able to put an audio track since i'm not able to get one. Anyways, thank you for playing

I actually find challenging and it brings fun! Well made, great job man!

Developer

Very difficult, especially since the king doesn't stay behind the kingsguard.  You can't back away from the monsters quickly approaching you because your king doesn't start moving till you've gone a decent bit backwards and by then he's dead.

Thank you for that feedback, i will implement your insight as i wanted to continue to improve this game after the jam.

Looks very nice, the atmosphere of a dark forest definately comes through. Had a bit of a hard time with the gameplay though. Still, well done!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for your insight! I knew it, the game is hard i was trying to create a game where the player need to learn the map to use it tactical advantage to the enemies. Again, thank you for playing my game
