Very nice sprites, the trees, water pools, and houses! I like the gameplay where you can control the direction of the sword with the mouse; it felt great! As for the difficulty, it's a new Dark Souls in 2D. Greetings!
Thanks for your time and feedback :) I spent the first half of the jam just tweaking the map and character visuals, better time management will allow me to make more of the game systems in the future and hopefully now I have some familiarity with the tileset system.
