Very nice game. Graphics, mood, humor, theme etc 10/10!

Nice work, I liked the graphics! The controls felt good too.

Thanks a lot guys! @wekaj @aero

Very cute, I like the art style and the game itself is quite fun, great job!

This was great! The graphics and visual effects were great. Went with the theme well. I really loved the weapon animation when attacking. Great job.

I love the whole art style and designs in this. The attack is great as well! This is a very solid and enjoyable entry!

I do not why, but graphics realy looks like Hollow Knight, from my sight :sweat_smile:

Nice and cute graphics. I enjoyed the game. But add sound effects could be even better

peter-jonsson 2020-04-21 18:15

I absolutely loved the visual aesthetic. The game was, however, too hard in my opinion and I was only able to survive for 2-3 rounds.

Good art style, could have benefited from a few more functions or attacks.

jimanzium 2020-04-21 18:46

My favourite graphics so far. A couple sound effects could have gone a long way to improving the combat feel but a very good entry non the less.

jakobthequizguy 2020-04-21 18:46

Thanks for the feedback everyone! So happy to hear you like the graphics. @igoreshka yes, the main character is basically a mix of the knight from Hollow Knight and Makar from Wind Waker :)

Visuals were fantastic in this game. If the game had some audio it would be near perfect. Great game, great entry. Well done!

I took special interest in the way you change the Order in Layer based on the Y-Axis of the character. this is an old trick, but the fact that you used this in a 2 day jam was nice for me as a fellow developer who has created games much like this in the past. Good job on that. The visuals are very pleasing. The artwork itself is desirable. The missing sounds is excusable considering the 3 day limit, but of course it would be a much better experience with sound (I'm sure you already know that). The controls felt very natural, I didn't really have any trouble navigating or fighting off enemies. The concept of the game was kept extremely simple. Overall, good game entry. Best to you!

Nice game! I love the art, also controls and gameplay are good. I also like the concept even though a lot of people had the same idea xD

Pretty nice, I managed to get to wave 6 until those glowy eyes guys appeared. Graphics are cute, I think you could have chosen either mouse or keyboard, at first I didn't know how to proceed when those leaves appeared.

I like the little character. Animations are spot on.

Some auido would be grate, but a solid entry nevertheless.

gwinnell 2020-04-24 21:35

Lots of nice little touches here. Grass twerking when you touch it, smooth animations, particle effects for spawn and death. Good game feel, difficulty balance/progression, and the rest. I obviously wish it had audio, but otherwise, very very well done! :slight_smile: :thumbsup:

Your Guardian of the Forest looks pretty sweet and the glowing leaf sword was a great idea. The animation and screen shake improve the mood. :leaves:

bredian 2020-04-26 08:57

Amazing visuals, polished mechanics. Audio is *desperatly* needed for this game to give your hits more juice and to strengthen the atmosphere of the forest. Simple birds singning will give your gave so much more mood.

derkuchen 2020-04-26 08:58

Excellent graphics and animations, and it feels good to play!

mister-collette 2020-05-05 00:05

Graphics look clean and fun. Was wishing the plant would grow and for a win condition. The controls were tight ♥

kantal 2020-05-09 09:40

I love this graphics and overall mood. Sad that there's no music/sound in the game but, maybe now you will work on this game to have fully playable one?

jakobthequizguy 2020-05-12 18:54

Thank you everyone! I might add music and sound effects in the future.
