Lovely looking game, very hard too! Great game jam entry :)

Nice game!  Definitely tough, I would like to move faster, but overall nice job!

Cool entry! I like the concept graphics and sounds, maybe the walk animation needs more polish but nice work!

Submitted

Nice platformer! I found this game is a bit hard. However, the recommendations from the game page saved my life many times! Gameplay was cool and challenging, too!

So you managed to get through?

Well I admire your work here. Awesome job on everything. I Enjoyed it, it frustrated me just enough to keep playing it, and by second death by dragon, I started recording and got lucky to done it. I uploaded playtrough and named it "second class hero speedrun".  Congrats!

It was fun ! I really liked the art and the sounds !

However the controls are a bit difficult for me, and i found the stamina system very frustrating ...

Otherwise it was a great job; congrats !

A nice little game, but I do think that there's some re-balancing that can make this game juuust right.

I did want to report a bug, in the first section that looked like an upward tunnel (I added a screenshot). I bumped into the ladder, which jostled the vertical pillar and the horizontal platform, and made the horizontal platform not intractable (so I couldn't proceed forward since I could not get on the platform).

Thanks for your comment. We really didn't expect the game to be so difficult.  The game take itself 8 minutes so we didn't make checkpoints. Maybe it was a mistake.
We know about your bug and we haven't been able to fix it in a good way so we just place a secret passage at the bottom of that tunnel.
You can see that at game playthrough on game page.

Checkpoints would help with making it feel a bit more fair, for sure!  Balancing a game within the time limit of the jam can be tricky, haha.

Ah, I didn't notice that tunnel xD ahaha. I should pay more attention to the game page, it seems.

If game is too difficult, see advices on game page.

I lasted a hole 5 seconds on my first run and then I remembered the theme.

Hey! Just to let you know how thrilled I am with your game, I have not beated it yet, but you can bet I will. Great implementation of everything. I just love mix of games you had in mind for this cliche entry, and I think you nailed the theme. Great job!

I don't know if its just me but I couldn't respawn. R key did nothing.
Looked quite good otherwise.

This is fun. I love the physics going on, and the hand drawn art is great!

The game is very nice but a bit challenging.Maybe stamina can go a little less.Graphics and sounds are cool.Great game!

Submitted(+2)

I really liked the dynamic of using sword, crossbow and shield for combat, but maybe the stamina mechanic is a little harsh... anyways, great game overall!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your feedback!  Were you able to complete the game? Or it is too difficult? I think about making a guide for it.

Submitted

unfortunately no, I went far, but it became too difficult for me, or maybe I didn't get something right

Found it really funny that your old bodies would just lie around lifeless xD. Gameplay is good and the visuals are also nice.

Developer

Thanks for your reply! Glad to see that you enjoy the game. Just interesting how far did you go in the game? Did you beat the dragon?

Loved the art style!

Very nice, juicy gameplay and coherent artstyle. Checkpoints would help though
