Funny, sacrilegious idea!... and wonderful artwork!
Gameplay could be smoother though.

hahaha, you did try hard to do that worst game music in the end :D

I love you, is that enough to explain how much i like it? :D

Graphics is cool, but it's hard to get how to win

Awesome graphics and idea! The game is a bit unclear though with spacing/when an enemy takes damage.

Yeah, sorry about that. The only way to make the game slightly difficult was to force the player to get used to a sort of rhythm/intuition. The enemy just dies instantly when they're hit within a certain proximity of the player, so you have to get them close but they also knock you back so it's difficult. Can be more 10x more difficult on a Mac because of the physics not working right.

Haha great game! Really nice graphics and overall feeling! Got through like 3 gold and 10 silver guards, was a bit hard to understand when I hit or missed. Would be fun with some variation in guards or more mechanics, like jumping/blocking/etc.

Fantastic Game Over screen! Nice animations. Had some really large lag spikes running on a quite powerful computer. Some profiling and optimization would therefore be needed. Music is quite repititive.

Love the graphics, most impressive. Really hard, but like you say, may be because I'm on a mac. I'll try it on my PC again later.

Buggy and complicated, but those are some quality graphics and theme use.

Best Entry so far. Great art, funny, fully cracked up laughing when I heard the: "dammit he can walk on water".

Fantastic art, and great outro music :P Nice job.

Game was fun, and I liked the bit at the end when they said "Dammit he can walk on water!" am looking forward to the next part.

Cracked me up! Nice one!

Very fun and humorous despite the bugs.

Pretty good art. Seemed a little too easy as I just move forward and swing that cross non-stop. And yes, that's terrible music at the end. :P I love the gameover screen, great reference!

I like the aesthetic, though the music does become repetitive after awhile. A little more polish will do it well!

Liked the idea and the art a lot. Crashed on os/x under Lion or got a solid blue screen. Windows was ok. Solid base to build from and add many of the suggestions above.

Best game over screen ever. Great art and great idea, but the gameplay is realllllly hard to enjoy. Bonus points for JZIGGY
