The art is awesome, game play is straight forward and easy to grasp! Really enjoyed this gem.

Boy did I get fat and slow after a while...
Love the art style and the original idea.

goffmog 2016-04-18 17:17

Outrageously charming game, brilliantly made and that's the sort of download size I expect from something that was made in a weekend ;) Also your advice about ham and wine works in real life too! I'm so hungry now.

So fun and really a nice idea the shapeshift of the knight
Good job

Great game! Love the detail of the voice!

danman9914 2016-04-18 18:44

Completely charming art and animation. Loved it! Not sure how much strategy was involved other than wildly swinging and then waiting for my cart to regenerate at barricades. Great idea using the knight's obesity as a way to shapeshift. Overall, top notch entry.

Amazing graphics and nice idea for a game.
Extra points for the music.

Nicee!! I loved the pixel art style, the mood and getting fat!!!
As you said, it does need balancing, but it was still so enjoyable.

exspecter 2016-04-19 21:33

I really like this game! Its a pity that its so short. I would have played it a long time i think because i thinks its a good idea of shapeshifting. Good job!!

johnwatmuff 2016-04-19 23:47

I can't stop saying "barricade ahead". Much fun!

teamscripta 2016-04-20 00:56

I LOOOVE THE SOUND

ccollider 2016-04-20 01:46

Great twist on the theme. Was the knight stopping to eat the pork at all costs intentional, because it was hilarious. Really enjoyed this one.

dallengd 2016-04-20 06:02

GAme play is simple to grasp and fun. The work on the HUD and the sound design ("Barricade ahead !") really allowed to understand without needing more words. Idea is pretty good and the graphics and sound work very wall.

A few things : i don't feel the stamina bar is useful for the gameplay. Also, maybe if our attacks knocked back the ennemies the hits would feel more satisfying and we would have more control over the fight.

The logs have a bit too much health too and the ennemies are too few.

Overall i had lots of fun, very nice entry !

farelle 2016-04-20 11:02

that was fun :D

xclementx 2016-04-20 11:14

Top graphics ;)

solocov 2016-04-20 12:20

Just Awesome, first I did not know where the "Shapeshifting" is happening, but then I just simply got out of shape :P...
Really hilarious :P

kronosfere 2016-04-20 12:22

Finds out that trees and rocks can be stabbed
Proceeds to stab a rock for a minute
Realises they can't be destroyed
Becomes sad

It's hilarious that eating ham is more important than saving the king

apantaloni 2016-04-20 16:59

Today I've learned that eating all my fallen enemies might be not an healthy habit ;)

goibon 2016-04-20 18:17

Wow this was really a cool game :D Loved how I had to choose between fitness and health even though those two usually go hand in hand :P

otixa 2016-04-20 18:54

Loved the graphics and audio! Very charming simple game.

ekx 2016-04-20 19:58

Awesome game. Was immediately drawn in by the graphics. Combat could have been a bit deeper... Maybe add a special move or something.

martinfernandez 2016-04-20 22:16

Amazing art! i really enjoy the game :D

fin_nolimit 2016-04-21 01:15

Super cool game! I almost got to the end lol!!!! I'm not sure I picked up on the shape shifting part... i might have missed something. Very fun game though. Nice work

aaranos 2016-04-21 02:23

I enjoyed the game, I did not follow your advice and was victorious as a sack of pork.

bitdare 2016-04-21 04:27

Great game. The graphics were superb and the gameplay was very charming. I love the use of the theme.

mightytoaststudio 2016-04-21 08:17

Nice sound, great entry, a little bit simple but enjoyable ^^

mrbungle 2016-04-21 11:37

Cute little game, beautiful visuals. Really enjoyed it.

endel 2016-04-21 18:32

Incredible animations and pixel art style. Congratulations!

joekinley 2016-04-21 18:37

It worked on Chrome, but it was really buggy. At one point the king just went ahead over all the wood, and at another point I just died with still a lot of HP left. But it was a fun little experience

arskiainen 2016-04-21 18:59

Awesome lil game. Get's a bit frustrating towards the end. All in good humour.

roland-m 2016-04-21 19:21

Great musci and art man. Really enjoyed it. =]

themadknights 2016-04-21 22:40

Cool entry! I think it´s a bit repetitive but the idea is very cool. The Knight is supposed as strong as fat? :D

dsnunes 2016-04-21 22:51

I liked the art, good game!

sepharoth213 2016-04-22 04:19

Fantastic art!

tanjent 2016-04-23 10:47

Really good art and audio. The knight gets a bit too slooow sometimes, so I think that needs a bit more balance.. Also I found out that I could let the king+cart skip barriers and run to the exit if I stayed put behind and waited for the green bar to fill up... :)

oysterklan 2016-04-24 07:29

Love the art and the use of theme.

gnerkus 2016-04-24 08:02

"Barricade ahead"

To stay fit, a knight must swing his sword - especially after a sumptuous meal of orc chops.

This was so much fun to play. I liked the concept of the knight becoming slower after eating a lot. It's quite original. The knight's increased weight wasn't so easy to notice though.

2016-04-24 12:48

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

tharemo 2016-04-24 15:38

Nice entry! Great graphics and music, but the gameplay could be a little more exciting.

bazkur98 2016-04-26 23:14

Not bad but after several tries it seems completely impossible to beat, maybe I just suck. Graphics were cool and sound fit nicely. Certainly a different take on the Theme

medidog 2016-04-26 23:56

Graphics, animations, story, all so good and so funny :) It was not that fun to explore the environment after some time, but overall, you did a great game!

mooncalf 2016-04-27 00:21

Great graphics, mood, audio. I thought the gameplay was promising but could have benefited from faster fights. Multiple hits and the stalling to eat had me waiting alot.

jupiter_hadley 2016-04-27 16:06

Lovely graphics! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/1j0YT8wm6Kc

kai20 2016-04-27 20:13

neat game about a fat knight

rock-eaters 2016-04-28 22:47

One of my favorite so far, really nice pixel art ! First time i play , the king get out of the screen and then dont stop on wood any more otherwise it is really cool

rnlf 2016-04-30 12:52

It's not impossible at all :D

I made it through on the first try. The idea of gaining weight is such a great take on the theme and it was presented perfectly!

It was a bit annoying that eating the pork was done automatically and took so much time, so I almost lost my king because the knight was busy eating instead of fighting. But I turned out victorious in the end.

Good game!

bentglasstube 2016-05-01 23:10

I really liked the art and the music. The mechanic where you get fat was also great. However, I found that the forced delay when eating meat dropped by enemies was very frustrating since pretty much every time I killed an enemy I had to sit and wait.

thecams 2016-05-04 12:30

Really fun game :)
Just one thing, the eating animation stopping the character from moving is a bit annoying.
Great job!

vini60 2016-05-05 01:33

Great concept of shapeshifting xD.
I really like the medieval style.
But it was very easy to lose weight, not like real life!

ermrk 2016-05-08 11:26

The graphic and animations are really well done. The music is also well fitting. The knight is sometimes too slow by my opinion.

tonbery 2016-05-08 16:16

hehehehe nice approach of shape shifting!
belly shape shifting of the most common form of shape shifting!


I think you can work better this relation between food and speed, for me it was really better not eating in the entire gameplay


Graphics are really cute! If you use a little more contrast between environment and characters it will be even better


You can put a little more feedback on the combat, one frame of white sprite for when the enemies are being hit will do the trick :)


Nice entry!
