Did you work in a team?
Just me. T'was fun lol
Was the resolution a challenge?
Aligning the sprites right was definitely hard at first in 3D lol
What did you learn?
I haven't done block-based combat wrt game design in a while. Was definitely cool to get try it here

Polished, fun and challenging the right amount! Pixel art is great and loved the 3D borders too. Sound is a bit lackluster, but the rest make up for it. Nice job!
Nice fight, was able to beat it on third try. I miss sounds out of the fight and would be nice to have a repeat option after you win. Good job!
You can press R to restart at any time. Thanks for playing :)
Oh, it is first one in the description.
My bad :D
Great boss fight, the gameplay feels complete you have all the tools you need to beat the boss you only have to master them, it feels fair and balance, i think maybe you should have a little less hp to be a bit more punishing in mistakes but that is nitpicking at this point. Great Game.
I had fun, the truth is good
I confused with dodge & parry. Maybe I am too old (or side effect of long covid) other one is good.
On the first run I beat him... But at the cost of my very own life...
"You died" and "Winner" were displayed at the same time haha- Lot's of fun!
Really fun game. Combat is supper intuitivce. Animations are also very crisp. would love to see a multiplayer version.
Super fun game! I really enjoyed trying to master the combat. Simple but fun!
I had a lot of fun with this! Combat felt challenging but fair, reminded me of getting wrecked by 'The Pursuer' in Dark Souls 2. A good range of enemy attacks too which kept it interesting and the animations were spot-on.
I ran into a glitch where the Black Knight was stuck in the red unblockable attack start-up pose (see below) but didn't respond to my attacks no matter how much I wailed on him. Otherwise, a neat little game with cool parallax background scrolling too!
Yo thanks for playing lol. Apologies for this bug. It never happened when I was making the game lol
Really cool ! Still haven't managed to kill the black knight but it's funny to play the game !
And I beat the black knight ! Really enjoyed playing this game.
Nice!
Short yet really polished. One of the few games in this jam that has detailed art, but also is easy to understand whats happening on the screen
The movement mechanics were solid and felt really good to attack and dodge away. Had fun beating the enemy. Nice job!
took me a little but I beat it, that last attack tripped me up a bit. great work!
Great duel mechanics. I loved the game!
Very fun little game! The combat feels great when you get into it and he managed to get me a few times when I'd almost won but I got there in the end haha. The art is great as well and suits it well
Wow! very polished :D easy to learn hard to master, very satisfying, I wish there were more bosses that was great!
This was fantastic!
Had to beat it, which is rare with these jam games
Yo. Thanks for playing lol.
If I may ask though, were you able to block properly ? XD. Getting the block right took me most of the development time lol
Blocking worked great - everything felt smooth and good from my perspective :)
Fun game. I like the combat mechanics. I'd love it if this was a boss fight at the end of a platformer part with weaker enemies but same combat system.
very cool, but doesnt have a lot of replaybylity
