Made me chuckle. Especially the ending music :)

Cute idea. Fun use of the theme :)

Really fun interpretation of the theme. Very short but nice ending too.

Interesting take on the theme :)

Stupid, like you said, but still gave me a chuckle :D

what a pleasant 8 bit sound! Great graphics too, lovely pixels - Congratulations! You could expand the game! Would be awesome!

Very funny, and a great use of the webcam.

Interesting use of webcam for the game. I would have liked the image to be a bit pixelated to work with the general style. And I'm not sure it needs to be longer, but maybe give the monster a health bar that the player has to hack down for a while. Monster still as passive as now. I liked the game.

Thanks everybody for your comments and feedback :D

@local minimum - Initially, I put a filter to make pixelated the webcam image, but I didn't like the result because I wanted pixels with the same proportion of pixelart graphics, and the player's face was too much pixelated. So, I felt that the webcam without pixelated filter looked less weird than having different pixel proportions. By the way, the text has a different pixel proportion, but using the same it looked awful. Anyway, I'll consider to put an option to activate the pixelated filter.
I liked the health bar idea and I'll put on the post-jam version. However, I'll maintain the option of killing monster with just one hit hehehe. A sudden death makes it more stupid, and it's part of the idea based on the game that have inspired me.
Thanks again for your feedback :)

what an ending !!! :P

Made me giggle :)
would have been nice to see the idea getting real.There is something there that was telling me "yeah it would have been good if there was more!"
It is polished but lacks a bit of gameplay, so i'm sure you could have done more! :)
looking forward.

This IS a true successor to "Quest for the Crown", indeed :D

haha very nice entry!

I did not even put up a fight, I am ashamed!

Great graphics, nice sounds and a really clever idea. Love it!

I think this might be my new favorite entry!

Very well done on Graphics, Humor, and Theme.

Oh! Thank you all for your comments and your kind words ^_^

That ending.. made me speechless and think about life while I'm listening to the BGM :P Nice usage of the webcam also. I like it! :)

klbrazil 2015-09-12 09:40

best ending 6/5

peterthehe 2015-09-12 10:57

I really like the whole photo thing :3 Really cute overall - short and sweet

franklins-ghost 2015-09-13 05:27

Liked the use of the webcam, was a nice touch to go with the theme. Wish you'd had more time to fill it out more but can understand with the last minute decision that was hard to do. Funny entry.

pixzleone 2015-09-13 07:49

made me laugh! :D
