Very tight animation for the shifting weapons.

Very tight animation for the shifting weapons.
takes a bit to get used to controls.. overall fun game!
well done. and btw.. dam you for those big blue guys!!!
:)
We had similar ideas! I like it, but the sword felt very under-powered and once they were in melee range I usually died swiftly.
mismatched pixel art resolutions :(
i like the shifting weapon art
The graphics are great - one thing I didn't like about them though was the sword animation. I think a wide swing would have been better than a thrust.
The gameplay itself is pretty fun, though it seemed like the bow was 100x better than the sword.
Overall great game - good job!
Really great graphics and animation. No complaints.
It's a neat little gem. I thought that the sword was a bit weak, at least compared to the bow in most situations.
I too, really really liked the little morphing animations of the weapons. My highest score was 15 but I ended up resorting to just continually firing arrows as the sword seemed too slow and the shield often got me killed.
I think with a bit of tweaking on the speeds and strength of the weapons this could be really addictive.
I love the animations, really nice work. The shield seemed a little glitchy to me? I used it and got pushed off the back of the screen, and then no more level loaded in front of me. Sound effects are fitting too, nice job!
I like how the hero can be invulnerable while using the shield in exchange for missing the points for killing, which is a neat game mechanic.
Cute graphics, nice animations, and a solid mechanic! Quite fun indeed!
Nice animation on the weapon shape shifting. Sword is a bit useless since you die almost instantly when something is in melee range.
Fun game overall, I'd keep the time without enemies on screen at a minimum but that's just a minor complaint. Nice job!
Took a while to get used to the controls, but overall nice game! I could spam the bow for a while but other than that, I loved the idea!!
Great art, but the sword felt really underpowered.
This is a neat idea and an overall good job, but you should probably have made it so the chracter is invulnerable for a few seconds after getting hit.
Simple and effective mechanic! I like it!
And the graphics style... I love it! :) Good work!
The overall game is nice and polished, and the transforming weapon is fun, though i ended up using the bow a lot, which may be why i died so quickly and often :P I like the art, simple yet effective, good job!
Great Idea and awesome graphics! :)
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
Nice pixel art. Mostly used the bow and the columns need to be more noticeable then again it could just me my old tired eyes lol.
interesting game! the walls are visually hard to read, but the rest of the art is good. i like the switching animations.
Cool game, nice gameplay mechanic and nice pixel art
nice game here - graphics are nice and the controls seem tight - great jon
Using the sword was insta-death for me (when enemies were around), the bow worked much better. Maybe instead of losing the game when you run into one of the blocks, you should only lose a life?
great graphics but a bit hard
