Very cool and consistent style greets a player upon entering Dethrown. The arcade-ish gameplay is simple and enchants a '90s kid with its 16-bit Super Nintendo-style graphics. Art, animations, and UI: gorgeous.
Very fun and funny ideas all around; wasn't initially sure what to do with the hanging damsels, but once I found out you're doing them a "benefit" by freeing them, chuckles were to be had.
Mechanically very sound; wish there was an ability to leap ahead as the kicking function paused the upward climb enough that I hit the bottom deathzone a couple of times.
But a very complete package, Dethrown, and perhaps the most polished entry I've played this jam. Awesome!
