In what way does your game fit the theme?
The protagonist has set out to find his purpose in a world gone mad, with unpredictable utter CHAOS at every step.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I had help from Brackeys Tutorial on YouTube. And I made all the art assets and code by myself. The soundtrack was recorded by my friend who has been accredited.

Really cool game! I absolutely loved the style of the hand drawn art, I think it works perfectly with the somber story and characters! The gameplay was fun but I think adding some particles or something when you defeat the enemies would make it feel even better! Overall, I think you did a really great job! 

If you have a chance to rate our game as well, we would really appreciate it! Thanks! :)

Thank you so much!! It means a lot to hear! This is my first time drawing them by myself while working on the engine. I’m learning how to make particle effects, so I’ll definitely do it:D I’ll check out your game within tomorrow!!!

I loved the hand drawn art, but the gameplay needs some improvement. I couldn't see the point in chosing the shield, and the bird does damage even when I tried to kill it with the sword. Also found a bug where I took damage even after killing one of the monsters. A soundtrack for the first stages would also have been nice. The game could turn out fun, have a melancholic atmosphere with the right audio and some more attention to the gameplay.

I would really appreciate if you could also play and rate my game, I'm looking for feedbacks! Thank you!

Thank you so much for your suggestions! I intentionally put the shield as a prank haha. I will definitely work harder on the gameplay bugs and ambient music next!:D

The game's really interesting, I think this is the first game that i've rated that i feel is more story based on the character's world rather than the world the character's in. If you could try out our game and/or rate it, I'd love that! Thanks for your time creating this experience and good luck on your future jams :D

I like this game very much. It's a bit confusing at first, but after a few attempts, I was able to finish it. Hand drawn art is unique and I like it. Could use some ambient sound. The ending was cute. Great game :)

I will definitely keep ambient sfx in my mind next time I'm crunching, thank you so much:D

When i grabbed the shield of solace and threw it it disappeared  and I couldn't get it back. Also, if you hit space and jump at the same time you can jump over the prison part and I didn't know this and fell off the map. 


Good Graphics I really like the way the game looks

Developer

HAHA the shield was supposed to be a prank:p Thank you so much for playing:D
