Amazing graphics. Best theme interpretation i've seen yet. the levels were a little too hard.

gnuwilliam 2015-08-25 18:14

Really cool graphics

rafaella 2015-08-26 05:22

Nice game! :D

saintheiser 2015-08-26 10:04

Pretty well made! Like the pixelart and game mechanic idea =)

the-fifth-apartment 2015-08-27 03:13

Awesome theme, great graphics! An overall perfect game!

pereubu 2015-08-27 12:06

really nice graphics, especially the color palette :>

nanolotl 2015-08-27 12:13

I liked the mechanic of switching to the enemy that you last defeated. Some of the sounds seemed a bit loud in comparison to the others. A fun but short entry.

fullmontis 2015-08-27 12:17

I like the mechanics, it is pretty fun to play as the enemy you just killed. The graphics are great, I really dig them. Controls were nice but a little hard to master, I have died a couple of times because of this.

peterthehe 2015-08-27 12:23

Incredible, fun, challenging. A great game!

sergicollado 2015-08-27 12:28

So cool when player get enemy weapons, well done!

sojabird 2015-08-27 12:29

Super cool art style and a really really nice gameplay idea.

Do more with this idea!!!

darklightteam 2015-08-27 12:35

Great game, cool graphics and implementation of the theme.

rocketship 2015-08-27 12:36

Very nice look and feel in this game. The mechanic reminds me of Kirby and the difficulty is frustratingly fantastic. Just a very very solid entry in all ways.

nikb 2015-08-27 12:37

Pretty cool. Innovative mechanic and stunning visuals. Good luck with this one!

picking-a-username-is-hard 2015-08-27 12:47

That game was amazing! Great use of that mechanic where you became what you killed. It went from a basic platformer to a strategy game as I tried to plan out my attacks to be able to use the bow on more difficult enemies without sacraficing the ax. My only problem was when you died, the sound was starteling and the white screen was a lot. But awesome game! you did a great job.

savethejets1 2015-08-27 12:50

This is a really tight platformer! Extra props for adding a variable jump height. You should add some music and release this!

dracomagna 2015-08-27 12:51

Awesome game, I love the art style and the concept.
The only problem I have is that I find the game really hard, but maybe it's just who is bad.
Anyway, really good job!

nowandstudios 2015-08-27 12:59

It's a great game! Love morphing into enemies and use theyr skills! Good job

zatyka 2015-08-27 13:05

Excellent entry. It felt so polished. I think it's clever how you force the player to think before killing each enemy. It was definitely difficult, but not frustrating. I just wish it were longer.

ZyxAsRey 2015-08-27 13:18

Challenging game, it provides a unique gameplay and enforces a strategy on how to approach to enemies and reach for the next level. Nice job and keep it up!

treeman 2015-08-27 13:23

Graphics and the overall feel was very well done. I also found the game too hard, but the game mechanic was nice.

freaknarf 2015-08-27 13:26

Good game, but i ragequited before beating it ; it seems that sometimes keys need to be pressed multiple times before the game realizes it was released eg : i'm pushin right arrow, and even released the player sometimes keep walking right. I must push right arrow again and release to make the player stop...
As the game is not really easy (at least with this kind of trouble) i quit but that's a nice game ! Concept is nice, and fits perfectly the theme ; becoming the monsters you kill, it reminds me kirby's gameplay in a way (and i love it). Palette's choice is quite original and i really liked the visual style and work done. I did not expect sfx to be so loud, so I was a bit surprised at the very first sound :)
Good game, I'll try again later !

cbear_wallis 2015-08-27 13:36

really solid! I loved it. The whole thing is really well realized.

leafthief 2015-08-27 13:47

Very well done. I would've loved some background music. BUT: It was REALLY well done. A platformer with a nice twist and interpretation of the theme :)

happyhour 2015-08-27 13:52

Great color palette and pixel art. :)

mase 2015-08-27 14:08

Nice parallax backgrounds.
I died on the last spike in the game ( >.<) So that was fun.

Hmm except for the archers, the enemies seem too passive.

rob 2015-08-27 14:10

Loved this one. Really hard but I beat it in the end. Your interpretation of the theme was excellent, in a "why didn't I think of that" way.

Really nice entry.

kchplr 2015-08-27 14:36

Good game with a great mechanic. I wish it had more challenges and some music !

A minor issue I noticed : With an azerty keyboard, the W key can be used to jump with in most forms (which is nice), except with in the flying form where Z has to be used.

beardybard 2015-08-27 14:54

Cool gameplay
I give this game 111 out of 111.
Need more spikes, lol

daydreamcorgigames 2015-08-27 15:47

Cool graphics! I like the idea of swapping into enemy after killing them. Kinda like Kirby but with more puzzle element.

ponywolf 2015-08-27 16:23

This feels like a very complete game. Love the graphics and colors.

yrr 2015-08-27 16:25

Now this is exactly the kind of game I love to see!

archonthewizard 2015-08-27 23:42

Great entry! I'm glad you were in my chat to tell me to shoot up. The difficulty ramp felt great. Art was well done. Nice interpretation of the theme.

mathmadlen 2015-08-28 00:20

Great art, very nice idea!

awpteamoose 2015-08-28 09:42

More! Make more levels!

Our artist doesn't believe it's a two-man project.

dickpoelen 2015-08-28 15:54

Awesome little game. Love the gibs

mach60kas 2015-08-28 21:42

Challenging, beautiful levels and a wide variety of movement mechanics to get around. This is well designed and amazingly executed - I love it! I think some music could push it a bit further though.

rnlf 2015-08-29 08:47

I really liked this game! It looks awesome, it feels awesome and even the simple sound effects match the rest awesomely.

The levels were well balanced, maybe a tad to easy.

One tiny complaint though, Z/X forced me to install a second keyboard layout. Please consider using something more international next time.

Besides that, really, really great game!

shawn42 2015-08-29 16:19

Wow. One of the best I've seen so far... Great art and interesting mechanic to mix in to the standard platformer. I really like dropping rocks on enemies as the flappy bat thing!

onionblitz 2015-08-30 08:29

Beautiful pixel art; interesting mechanics also. I wish it was longer, but other than that, great job with this. :)

xvw 2015-08-30 11:03

Good take on the theme, with a good concept!
Beautiful graphics!
Shame that you have not found a composer!

zeid 2015-08-30 11:36

Awesome game, nice graphics and concept.

zeid 2015-08-30 11:37

Awesome game, nice graphics and concept. The difficulty was a tad hard, and the death sounds were a little grating other than that spot on!

tselmek 2015-08-30 13:32

The pixelart is gorgeous and the mechanics are well done. Good job with the level design even though the hitboxes feel a little too unforgiving. Definitely needs some music. Good job!

sanju 2015-08-31 14:22

Loved that graphics.

managore 2015-08-31 17:29

Stunning graphics! I wish I could give you a 6 for that! Great use of theme as well, and really responsive controls. I felt like the melee enemies could be more threatening, perhaps walking around or attacking at intervals.

unept 2015-08-31 17:45

Beautiful game. Love the art and the gameplay, great take on the theme. Great variable gameplay. Nice!

superfluous 2015-09-01 13:16

Very possibly my favorite game I've played so far this jam. Great mechanics, interesting opportunity for strategy, amazing spritework, exceptional polish. I would buy an expanded version of this in a heartbeat. Great work.

inurashii 2015-09-01 16:39

Very polished! Would have liked checkpoints, but otherwise it was a lot of fun.

draknek 2015-09-01 16:43

Could do with more checkpoints. If there was a checkpoint midway through each level I think I would have persisted and got further, but as it is, it feels like it's asking me to repeat parts of each level for no good reason.

Bit weird that the knight doesn't attack you.

nikteddy92 2015-09-01 16:59

Wow that's a great entry!!
I love the graphic, it's awesome!
And the gameplay is smooth and really enjoyable, a little too challenging!
Well done dude!

recursor 2015-09-01 19:10

Love the art style going with reds, white and dark blues. Very lovely. My only frustration was having to start over at the beginning of each level when I died. Other than that I quite enjoyed it.

napramirez 2015-09-02 15:27

It's so fun to play, the balance is just right. I want moar of this! A little music here and there, and it's ready to go! Release this kraken!

dancingmad 2015-09-02 18:13

Nice classic game, easy to play, with a good concept, but so short T_T !
We would like to see more !

togimaro 2015-09-02 20:57

Too short but excellent! I hope a Post-GameJam version with more levels and more ennemies!

bender 2015-09-02 21:52

Super beautiful game and fun to play. The gameplay switch when you kill an enemy kept it really fresh to play, and I enjoyed finishing it!
The controls are a little buggy (sometime it would do the action, other times it wouldn't change direction or just stop...). I also feel there is something missing with the knight not attacking you.
Still, it's a really fresh platformer.

arche-san 2015-09-03 20:33

Nice concept with a very good theme interpretation.
The hitbox is a bit hard a first but not frustrating.
It's very fun to perform the monster you just killed before. Excellent level design BTW !
Great job :D

6downstudios 2015-09-04 09:45

Great take on the theme, very innovative! Fun game, well designed, pixelart/animation is top-notch!
Outstanding work guys!

robotmeal 2015-09-04 15:55

Amazing entry! Fun platformer, very cool power-steal mechanic.

bneutral 2015-09-06 06:51

Very fitting title.

headmade 2015-09-06 09:02

We have a winner right here. Very innovative and fun to play, great looking, nails the theme and even has a great name.
The only thing missing is music. Odd to leave it out considering this is a jam entry.

colindoody 2015-09-06 12:14

Nice pacing at the start, good challenges, character feel was good, engineering seemed solid, art was fantastic. Good impacts on death. Particles were nice and subtle, not over the top. Everything moved well. Really clean. Really really well done.

maesk 2015-09-07 19:23

Excellent. All is perfect: idea, graphics, game mechanic, and even sound. I just miss some music, but everything else is impressive. A short game, but carefully done.

pixzleone 2015-09-09 09:30

I really like the artstyle!

sorlok 2015-09-11 04:26

First 5-star on both innovation and fun! I really liked this game; it forced you to make choices (since killing an enemy always stole their power). The mechanics were a little off, but not enough to break the enjoyment of the game. Great concept, great art, and great game!

bombjack 2015-09-12 15:26

nice graphics and original gameplay.

juniorus 2016-10-11 16:07

Sweet graphics & an interesting gameplay: I can imagine a bigger dungeon with its dozens of different monsters and their own movements!

nictaylr 2017-05-02 01:42

Hi Supernaught, any chance I can get the source? I am student learning HaxeFlixel!
