I'm going to join the chorus of people praising the art - did you really make all the trees and ground tiles and enemy animations within the jam? That's ridiculously impressive!

The long cooldown to wait for the warrior to be available is kind of painful, especially since the default character is so slow and has no abilities. Maybe the main character could be fast and agile, so you run around dodging enemies until the slower but powerful warrior becomes available to wreck everything?

Aside from that, game feel could definitely use more work. The animations and visuals are great, but I would've loved some sound effects and visual feedback for getting hit or landing hits. Some music would also be nice to make it feel a touch less barren. It wouldn't take much to make this great-looking game feel great.

Great work on this entry! I had fun exploring it.

Thank you for this review, I really worked hard on the pixel art so I’m glad that a lot of people like it. But I’m a solo developer so while most of the pixel art is mine, not all is.

Ground tiles, grass, bushes, animations are all mine, trees were a pre-made assets (I will link all of them when I get home, big thanks to those artists for filling in the gaps). I hope that next time I can team up with someone and create all the assets in the game.

As for the long cool down, there is a under explained feature in game for this: Em can pickup skeleton remains and cut that time down, you do this by standing on a skeleton bones and pressing [c] key

There was a plan to have Em and Warrior do different tings, but I ran out of time in the end :/ Same goes for effects and music, it kills me that I didn’t have time to include them..

The time crunch is tough, for my game I was basically exclusively working on assets while my teammate did the code, and we still nearly ran out of time. That might be because we have a habit of our ambition outstripping our skill, but that's besides the point...

In any case, it's honestly a pretty major accomplishment to ship anything in the first place, especially something that looks this good.
