A Hero's Burden by muffty 2017-12-07T10:45:25Z
Great atmosphere, and the kernel of a genuinely fun narrative experience. The combat feedback could use some tightening, but seeing those weary little folks huddled around their campfire was a treat!

Great atmosphere, and the kernel of a genuinely fun narrative experience. The combat feedback could use some tightening, but seeing those weary little folks huddled around their campfire was a treat!
Some novel riffs on a classic format, and a hero ship that's fun to bank in all its voxely glory!
I couldn't find any credits, so I'm not sure if the music was written specifically for the game? If it was, well done, if it wasn't, well chosen!
OK... I get it... I'm a rubbish typist :(
Stylish, simple and fun. Recovering from errors was a little unforgiving, but then it is a typing tutor, so fair play there. It could easily lend itself to some advanced typing combos, or bonus finishing sentences if you're blisteringly fast, but it's a well realised game. Kudos :)
^Agreed. Everyone's being thoroughly lovely... ESPECIALLY considering this is possibly one of the stupidest things we've ever made - And that's saying something! :)
Our team's currently scattered to the winds (2 in Japan, 1 in Australia), but we'll be jumping back into playing everyone's games very soon.
Thanks again for all the kind words and feedback :)
Exceptional visual and sound design! Enemy anims were tight, and despite taking a minute to get myself up to speed, I was blasting those fools in no time!
Solid :)
This isn't my type of game at all, and I loved it! The style is beautifully simple, with art and audio complimenting each other perfectly. The gameplay's fun, and as sad as I am that those bunnies had to die, the little stacks of bloodied bones they left behind reminded me of my rhythmic prowess! :)
The monster could be a little quicker on his feet, but beyond that, magic!
A simple concept, well executed. Visuals and audio were on point, but I'd have loved to see more done with the horror elements. Well worth expanding on :)
The mechanic's intuitive, and keeping an eye on the beats while scanning the board is challenging and fun. It's a shame there isn't more stealthy, toe-tapping music around, but the art's great, and the level of in-game polish is exceptionally high. Brilliant :)
The visuals hearken back to the glory days of Shufflepuck Café on the Apple II!
A little sound would've been nice, but it was fun turning some cards with your cat :)
