Use of the limitation
The glyphs must be deciphered in order to progress the game. They are basically a different language that looks very similar to English. (Continue right on 2nd level, going up is important for later.)

I understood the mechanic of the game and I can say that It pretty "anoying" to play. But anyways, that is very creative, Nice work!
Really dig the art and atmosphere. I got stuck pretty early. I think I kept having a glitch make it to where I couldn't walk left anymore, or maybe that's a mechanic? I couldn't totally tell. Nevertheless, I like what I played. Cool concept, would enjoy seeing a full version of this!
Yeah I understand, if I had enough time I would've tried to give better visuals to explain but basically when you walk through a glyph your keybinds change depending on the glyph. I sort of ran out of time and the only way to fully understand the mechanic is to read to description. Thanks glad you gave it a try regardless!
Super unique concept! I also really liked the art.
Glad you enjoyed the art, I had a lot of fun making it! :D
Really interesting interpretation of the concept and cohesive art style. Good for training your brain rewiring ability.
Thanks, I love your take about rewiring your brain, glad that came across!
The keybinding switching really messed me up! Great job and interesting take on the limitatio
Appreciate it!
GG
😁
haha i love how insane it makes you feel when keys don't do the thing you think they should, it's a great idea. this knight must have insane calf muscles to be able to leap 20 feet in the air in full metal armor. very impressive
Haha fair point, he can jump that high but can't swim... Maybe I should pick one 😂
Thanks for playing and I appreciate the rating!
Conceptually sick and I really enjoyed it. I didn't finish the second level, mostly 'cause I'm tired not the game's fault, but I love games that don't shy away from making the player learn and this is exactly that! Great entry. :]
I appreciate your thoughtful response. Glad you didn't find the difficulty too much of a pain, I was afraid the second level would be too much too early.
I enjoyed the game a lot!
The artstyle is also very cute and the controls are also pretty easy to learn!
Appreciate it!
This is so clever and cute!
<3
i love this game the concept is so simple but man its so clever and i can feel my blood boiling i beat the first level and kept failing the second level, very cool game mate also great art
Haha, yeah I perhaps should have made the second level more doable but I was running out of time so I decided to just stick with it.
Awesome game!
hey this is my first game jam too.
🤝
the art is really nice!
I appreciate the kind comment :)
Super creative! Wow! It's a bit too difficult for me to beat while I'm this tired, but I'm really impressed with the concept! Just a very fun and unique idea.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
it`s amazing
Glad you played it :D
cool game for mini jam.today l love this game
Thank you friend :)
Nice use of the limitation! I got to the second level but couldn't figure out how to progress on the leftward cliff-jump glyph.
Yea, for anyone else I forgot to block that top left part off, just continue right. There is a reason that area exists but you will have to figure it out at the end.
Thanks for playing though!
