What I liked:
- You used the same assets as I did and you animated them when some of them have no animation frames. The way you made the Knight go from its original position to a solid looking attack is really cool.
- I'm a fan of your color choice. I'm colorblind, so its harder to see the contrast of two colors if the barely close.
- Implementing "Death shadows" is pretty cool.
Suggestions:
- Character movement is a little wild. I think the game could benefit from lowering speed and making it so that the character only moves on keypress or release. Being able to hold down and move until you fail doesn't feel like it fits, especially when the speed was high. Even after realizing that I needed to tap the key, i still moved more than I wanted to.
Overall, I think your game is pretty cool and a great submission to this jam. What you did with the 1-bit pack was pretty cool. Congrats!
