Thank you! We really tried to catch the feel of that class Legend of Zelda feel and movement! I'll have to look into the direction changing thing more closely in the future seems like a nice add for PC players!
As for the Characters, the Protag is 100% inspired by Sir Frog. Our artist did some good Frog artwork in the past and I thought that would be perfect. It was his first time making sprites too! Very happy with his work! Thanks for playing!
