you don't give yourself enough credit, you only had 48 hours to do this 24 if you take another24 for living

The graphics for this are good. Some small changes to the music would work well, and some quality of life improvements such as an extended attack range or being able to punch while moving would be great. Well done for your compo submission.

Thank you very much!

Nice job! I like the graphics and the audio, the theme also comes thought very well! I would add some more polish to the UI and some particles but that's just me -)

The graphics and music were very good :) My only really complaint was the range and hit detection on the punching was a little bit quirky, but with a little more fine tuning I'm sure it could be a ton more fun!

I was going to ask if being up here was a bug or a secret, then I got alittle further and saw your message. Either way really nice job. I really liked the skeletons and the naked guy animation. The knight felt alittle too shovel knightish for me. Either way you did a fantastic job for 48 hours. stuckorbug.png

is like how in mario you can find secret platforms. But thanks!

Nice entry! Only one HP and tight hitboxes are a little punishing, but the gameplay itself is solid. The animations are particularly nice. Is there a reason you opted out of Graphics?

Well done!

Holy macaroons this is hard! The jumps at the beginning aren't forgiving whatsoever, and when you get the knight armor you go so fast that it's hard to control. Regardless, I love the naked guy animation, and while rage-inducing, it was still pretty fun!

Emmmm do I actually have punch? When wearing armor I can`t even see me attacking. And I can't jump off enemy when I'm about to get the sword...Too hard for me. But I like the graphic and animation of skeleton enemies.

nachtwitch 2019-10-07 20:33

really cool game btw, the jump hight was too low in my opinion at first though

thomas-bringer 2019-10-07 20:41

I liked the idea quite well; however, I gave up quite quickly, as it was too hard for me. I think movement/controls could be slightly improved. But overall cool game! :D

sam-awk 2019-10-07 21:10

@jeremy-ryan That was actually an accident. Thanks for noticing!

jeremy-ryan 2019-10-07 21:33

@sam-awk All good, just gave you my rating. Good luck for the rest of rating season!

maggardjosh 2019-10-07 22:37

One hit kills and the hit box being quirky was a bit frustrating. Also it seemed like once you got the armor you couldn't attack any longer? Liked the graphics a lot, nice entry!

yeomsley 2019-10-07 23:56

I managed to dash off the end of the world :laughing: It took a few tries to beat the game but it was fun. The skeleton animation was really well done!

hiveminds 2019-10-08 00:11

This is a really nice submission man!!

Just requires some difficulty tweaking.

I thought personally it was really funny that putting on armor makes you faster and (essentially) lighter in weight haha.

The animations, sprites, music. All really great and the aesthetic works really well.

sam-awk 2019-10-08 01:02

I fixed hit boxes and attacks / animation

frenchie 2019-10-08 07:01

I love the art in this game! It's too bad you had to lose some work with unexpected crashes because it would have been great to see more!

goldenevolution 2019-10-08 17:41

Art and theme stands out the most here. I did finish the game the first time around without using attacks though, by just jumping over the enemies. Second time around I tried to melee them, but the melee attacks didn't feel too responsive, so avoiding the enemies at all was the better choice. Keep making games and improve, because the art is definitely awesome already

sam-awk 2019-10-08 19:32

@goldenevolution Thank you! I will try to fix any bugs. Thanks for playing!

pythooonuser 2019-10-08 20:35

I really like the graphics. The shadows on the character sprites are very good. I had trouble fighting enemies, but that could be because of my insufficient platformer skills :)

gord10ahmet 2019-10-08 21:15

Nice visuals.

gwinnell 2019-10-10 13:39

Hey, I think you did pretty well given the situation! So did _this_ guy!
