A simple idea executed very well (the ideal recipe for any jam entry), made by someone who is involved with knights too ahahah.
I generally liked the sprites, but I feel like some elements have very different styles, for example the knight and the king. Also, I would have preferred moving with keys instead of using the mouse, as it made me feel less precise.
Aside from these issues, the game has a good arcade-y feel and with some polishing it could become addicting!

I really love how a game so simple can still have a massive difficulty curve. Definitely very addicting. Great job!

I think the art is really well done, and the game play is fun too. really good theme as well ^^ the character art has a lot of personality in it ^^ . Really feel their roles . nice work ! I wouldn't be surprised if you get placed top 3 ^^

Fun, with a really good idea!  Reminds me of the Undyne fight in Undertale.

Wow, loved the music and the gameplay!

Did you guys do all of the art and audio yourselves?!

Awesome game, nice job :)

Developer

Yea, all of the art is done by us, the only thing not done by us was the in-game music which is listed in the credits. Thanks!

Great game. I thought theme and game-play wise it was completely on point! Top score of mine was 360 so far, but I reckon I could get a good bit higher, just wish there were some alternate buttons than 123 as my hand was cramping a bit using those. Music was nice too, only criticism of the aesthetic I had was the characters didn't really stand out from the dark background as much as I would have liked, maybe some lighting on the player or king and projectiles would have been nice.

very cool game, I really liked the idea, my highscore was 640! It starts off very easy, but after 600 it get's really hard!

Developer

Thanks, yea it definitely picks up quickly!

Okay, the controls can be a little finicky and I couldn't seem to enter a name in the high score section, but I honestly loved this.  It's a lot of fun and kept me coming back for a high score.

Yea was having troubles with that, but at least you can track your score! Lol
