I like the graphics and the feeling of cutting grass and swinging the sword feels right. I wish the character was slightly faster. I keep dying all the time, so I haven’t explored the full game.

The scale of this game is pretty large.

Some important features hasn't yet been implemented and that's understandable. But the unexpected dead end in the rushing situation is what I've not seen much in most games and I think its the bad design idea.

The game is long and I realized for a moment, thinking where in this game has the theme interpreted in.

Anyway, this game looks good and my compliments are the same as those who already commented.

If you are going to work on this game more. Try not to get the wrong ideas.

nice graphics. i hope this project will continue further.

Developer

Thank you very much. I will surely update it at least once to make it more playable.

Really nice and fleshed-out game. Obviously held back by the long load times each time you die and I found it really easy to die. I also don't think I saw the words the first time I went through the intro cutscene. In your instructions on itch it also says 's' key is right

Developer

Thank you for playing.

Yeah, the main menu and the reload is a mess it seems. Thank you for the feedback and for telling me the error on the page.

Nice platformer and cute graphics.
Only gripe is the start of the game with WAY too slow waiting the heart beats for the game to actually begin.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing. My bad, I don't really pay attention to the menu scene. I will make it more comfortable next time.

The game really looks good. The pixel arts are lovely. Well made, and well done. Didn't finish yet, I lost motivation after knowing I have to wait again for the intro to finish on my 2nd try. Anyway, I added the game to my collection and will probably look in to it someday. Good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing. I will definitely fix that problem for the next update.

Good game! really good graphics and a great idea overall. Really liked leveling up. The audio fits perfectly and good animation. I think the game would be a lot more fun if there would be checkpoints. Or at least saving progress.

Great Job, Keep it up!

Developer

Thank you very much. 

Yes, not implementing any checkpoints is a poor decision for this game. Thank you for the feedback.

Your game looks really nice great job :)

The game sends me back to the menu when i die, is this intended? 

Developer

Thanks for playing.

Yes, but now think about it, it should've just reset the current scene at the very least. Thanks for the feedback.

It's the best game I've ever seen. Great job! I like everything, would be good to implement save and continue developing it. It will be really interesting and fun. Unfortunately one thing that I don't understand what similar to a jam theme

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much, i appreciate that. I will be sure to at least give it one update and try to implement any suggestions i got.

Similar to a jam theme? the 'Time'? it's in the story ( back to the past ), and the interference of guardians of time that limit the player's time when slaying the boss. Quite weak i guess, but yeah it's there.

Thank you for the feedback.

Nice graphics, and music is epic, I like the sound when attacking

Developer

Hi there, thanks for playing. The music is an external asset, you can find the creator on the game page.

Honestly a really nice game, I just wish there were checkpoints and other keys to perform an attack, Great art and sfx, very solid game, I like it!

Developer

Thank you very much.

Yeah, didn't have any checkpoints is quite a mistake. Another key to perform attack is a good suggestion, i will try it next time. Thanks for the feedback.

Nice graphic and control.

The monsters have so many hp and the real attack range seems shorter than it appears. so I found it's easier to jump through them instead of fighting them.

Seems that you made so many contents in this game but without saving system it's really hard to explore them all.I got stuck on the cliff that seemed require rush ability.And I didn't get what's the difference of the two characters.

Developer

Thanks for trying the game.

Level 1 knight and starter sword are indeed too weak. The attack range would be my miss, thanks for telling me.

With a double jump, you can go right from the spawn area to obtain dash, so it needs some backtracking. The armor gives you a little bit of defense. Thanks for the feedback.
