Played this one for a bit, Pretty fun! Very retro Zelda.  Love the art and vibes, the little pixel blood splatter effects are a nice touch! Game feels hard sometimes, but that's OK. I like tough games.

Controls were my only issue, eventually hit a bug where my character got stuck in the sword swinging pose XD   I was just spamming spacebar a lot to see what the refresh/backswing was like, an enemy hit me, and the character just froze on the sprite with the "air woosh" behind the weapon- even staying stuck after respawning next to the shop. Refreshing page fixed it, but wanted to report the bug just in case.

Overall tho it was pretty fun! awesome job!

Thanks a lot for the reply!

The early Zelda games were indeed an inspiration 😉⚔️

And thx for the bug report, too! I also randomly stumbled over the "freeze" bug - and always when I was spamming the "attack" button - but I couldn't figure it out yet.

However, I think I found the root cause now and can possibly fix it in the next update. 👍

Apart from the occasional freezes, was there anything else that wasn't well with the controls?

How far did you get in the game? Did you find and kill the Minotaur? Could you even get to the Goblin King? 😏 Have you found any secret areas?

Oh, I didn't get too far! I mostly spend time doing mindless rotations around the first level farming to see how the mechanics worked, since the combat was fun. Control-wise sometimes I felt like I was getting hit in the gap of time between my swing and dodge, but that might have been me just playing it too risky. 

If you do get hit its pretty punishing, I found myself spending $ to full heal a lot and not buying upgrades, or farming grass /jars to stock up.  I wasn't trying to progress though, as much as just poking around to see what happens :)

Ah, I see 😃

Yeah, I tweaked the attack/combat part until it felt good - at last, it's a Hack'n'Slash, so combat must feel good, right?😉

And the freezing bug is now what gone 💪😤

And yes, hits are supposed to hurt 😈 but you can also find hearts in the wild 😉

Also, there is a pretty big secret area in Central Rye... With lots of enemies and breakable objects 😏... The entrance is well-hidden but yet easy to spot, if you know where to look 🕵️

FYI: The "freeze" but should be fixed now with version 0.6.1.6 🙂
