Not that bad of a game! I really liked the graphics of it as well as the music. I did have a slight problem at the end when you got to the castle though. It shot out a rock (which I think is expected) but then I could not do anything. I could continue jumping but only I would get hurt... Not sure what that is all about.
Fun Game, great graphics and music. But I had the same problem with the rock at the end.
Thanks for comments guys! We've made some bugfixes for the ending.
Really nice entry. You created great graphics. I think that jump sound effect is too loud. You could add more levels too make it longer. Well done!!
I really like it. It's original, simple and good to play. The music too is great as well and It's pretty cool yeah. Great job !
Nice graphics, you used the background well to create a deep perspective
Game was a bit to easy, could have made it a bit harder, e.g. by adding higher obstacles, or put them closer to each other.
Also good if you add some kind of possibility to restart the game when it's over.
Simple but really enjoyable - excellent choice of music to go with the concept and a novel take on the theme. Well executed - good work.
Very nice visuals, I think the gameplay could use a bit more variety, all the obstacles were exactly the same despite looking different. You could make a certain type of enemy move left and right or something just for a bit of interest. But overall its pretty nice, good work!
Nice little game ! Didn't notice the fact the character change into a powerful knight the first time i tried, nice detail.
The mood is amazing! The game is quite fun if you take it as a romantic ballade :) It could have been more fun with a little more challenge.
That was great little experience) Thanks) First time i didnt see that player growth)
I liked the game, the gameplay is good and the music, kind of a pop music different of what you expect to listen in a game, very cool.
The art is good, the only thing it could be better is the speed, in my opinion if it was faster would have been so much better, but it is a great game !
The graphics and mood were fantastic. I found the gameplay lacking, though.
For what it was, it was quite good! I like that you came up with an idea that wasn't so big, and you executed it well, creating a nice self-contained experience. The graphics are great, too. The gameplay, well, honestly there wasn't that much to it! Also I'm not even sure it's possible to lose. Oh, by the way, I didn't even notice the graphical changes the first time around, I had to reload to play it again...anyway, good job!
Ha that was cute. I feel like the gaming world needs more short simple experiences like this. Good job!
A great little game. Simple and straightforward but it was pretty and memorable, and I was glad to see Zo get her princess in the end! Nice to remember while playing all these games about draining batteries that the power of love is infinite*!
*warning: not a guarantee. If power of love lasts longer than 4 hours please consult a physician. Ask your doctor if the power of love is right for you.
That's the funniest thing I've seen so far. I love the music, the art, and how the night's armor upgrades. Only thing I didn't really like was that he was too close to the left side of the screen. I think he could've been position a little back from the center. Also the game play was a bit easy. Would've been cool if the jump button had a sensitivity level that made him jump accordingly. Currently he jumps way too high. Also it would've been a nice touch if he walk to the princess at the end. Otherwise really fun little game.
I really like the graphics and the music fits the game well. The sound effects were too hard I think. I got the princess after 2 tries :)
Simple. Fun. Love. Will sing that song for all day))
Simple runner enjoyable thanks to the Bee Gees and the great graphics. I also like the ending :thumbsup:
Very good work on the mood ! I would have liked the obstacles to be a bit more distinctive from the background. Well done !
Your game is awesome! My favorite aspect is the incredible pixel art. At the end of the game, I experienced what appears to be a bug. The hero stopped running, then continued to trip on obstacles while a cutscene(?) was playing.
Cute game, the graphics are really good looking and it's a delight to play on the Bee Gees music. But it felt really too easy for me, so the ending isn't that really satisfying. Also, the scrolling was lgging on my computer... Great entry anyway :)
Really nice pixel art and style, game was a little short and easy but apart from that it was fun.
Loving the artwork. I'd definitely like to see more of that.
I had a good laugh at the end of the game. Really impressive graphics and audio. The evolving objects in the world as you ran with the love song in the background gave an oddly unique feeling of progression. You can almost feel the 'power of love' growing. Great work on the mood there. I do feel like game play is lacking but it doesn't feel like it was a priority in this game and that's okay.
Keep up the good work!
Really liked the game! I agree with zchen that while the game wasn't really striking on a gameplay front, it seems like the focus on the game was more to be an interactive narrative which is really refreshing for a game jam. I'm also really relieved that there are actually multiple endings and you're not doomed to lose the princess' love forever haha.
The graphics and audio really helped set the tone for the story overall too, so it just felt really polished and satisfying to play, even if it was very simple. Would have loved for the game to scale up in difficulty as you progressed more. But again, I think for what you were probably going for, the way it is now works totally fine. Great work :)
Good choice of music ! Game was a bit short but it got me !
Short game, but AMAZING one! I really loved the game, it's idea, song, the jumping sfx & the fantastic art behind. The only two things i didn't like what how short the game was, and some times it was hard to tell if the item i'm getting close to, is a background of foreground item. Some color tuning might have helped in this.
Good Job!

That music... It's just hilarious. The graphics are also really nice, and the gameplay is fun enough. Didn't really understand the heart meter, or when it's game over. But I enjoyed my time with this game.
Very soulful music and nice gameplay. I liked the ending :)
Nice graphics and the music fits perfect with the theme! The parallax effects on the elements looked amazing. I got problems recognizing the obstacles at first because they got lost it the background elements. But after a while you know which elements were obstacles. Overall a solid game and interesting short story. Well done! :)
"Infinite Runner"... yeah sure. The ending was epic in both cases, 5/5 Humor. The song you picked was awesome and fitted really well into the game. The art was also great for the atmosphere of the game. Google should buy the right of this from you and use it instead of the No-Internet Dinosaur game, then I would keep my WiFi shut forever.
fun little game i like the art very much, i must say i that the background music did not really fit the overall mood of the game for me but that is a personal opinion. I would have liked to have a restart button.
Simple and easy in a good way! I love the pixel art and the funny homages ;)
This game had really nice aesthetics, although it would have been a bit more interesting to play had there been a bit of variety in the terrain. Maybe staircases/hills to climb instead of just flat ground with obstacles.
Hahaha, the ending is awesome! I really feel the music makes it all fit together very well! I wished for the game to be a bit more challenging, but as it is I also feel that it all comes together as a small fast and cute experience :P
Keep up the good work!
Audio is very nice, and the ending is beautiful, I really liked it
This was fun and I liked the art. I thought it was funny that if you don't become a powerful enough knight then you still make it to the castle but the other guy slashes your heart, yikes, realism.
Somehow reminded me of this: trex-chrome-game.png :) Its so romantic I have to kiss my kitty after this! *^_^* Good taste'o music! Nice work!
Awesome endless runner, very simple and short, but really fun. The ending was amazing. The only thing that could be better is that sprites flickering, but thats not a big problem. Really nice graphics and nice music, which creates superb mood. One of the best games I've played so far. Great Job!
n'aww that was so sweet :)) Way to go
Very Cool! Great Art Style, nice
Sweet and cute game! Nice spin on the theme :heart: I liked the graphics, the music and the gameplay (though I think you shouldn't make the player fall when he lands on the top of some obstacles, such as the wooden boxes)
A nice little game! Some of the obstacles tended to blend into the background (especially the bush), and the ending sequence had my knight running through several obstacles, but otherwise the "jump the obstacles" mechanic worked well. A suggestion would be to introduce a larger variety in the obstacles, and then have the jump vary depending on the amount of time the jump button has been pressed. The art was excellent!
