This is a game with a lot of potench'! I loved how easy it was to navigate the castle with it all being on-screen. 

My main critique is with the death system and not having checkpoints - the opening moments of the game are a bit tedious. Related to that, it's really hard to tell which rooms are going to be affected by the dragon's breath - I would rather see the dragon only affect the room it's in front of, or for the rooms to light up with an effect before they become a very uncomfortable temperature.

Very nice concept and execution, congrats to the whole team!

I love the overall atmosphere and the game presentation (mechanic wise and graphically too). It's just a little hard to move around the castle because a few things is quite hard to see, a highlight/glowing on points of interest upon mouse over would help in this regardings. Also, returning to the starting upon every death was a bit too much imho, it coulse use some checkpoints.

This one was good, but I didn't always know where to go. 

loved it....so many secrets to explore.  id love fornyou to take more time and really build out this game.  ripe for lore and hunting for secrets!  unbelievable you got it done in 48 hours!!

Your idea of shrinking a metroidvania to one screen feels amazing. I usually dislike to backtrack and seek out secrets on the typically vast maps of this genre, so for me it was like a refreshment. Due to its limited scope, the backtracking never felt tedious and I was more encouraged to look out for the secret gems. 

From negatives I can only point out that with every death my character became more and more hidden in the textures. Nonetheless, it is a small technical problem that, I am sure, you will be able to fix.

An amazing game, I've enjoyed it through! The graphics are awesome, and both the soundtrack and the font kinda fits medieval theme. Great job!

such a unique and awesome game! The designers really put some thought and love into this!

Super fun lil game! Pretty neat that this was made in only 48 hours. Call me impressed!

Looks very nice! Good job

Glad that this genre was transistionend well for this jam. The lighting is really my only main gripe of the game. Otherwise, it was fun to play through and attempt to figure out.

Wow, this game is really fun! And hard...

One thing, though: I find it really hard to see my character, which is especially a problem for the trickier segments. The controls also felt a bit stilted and awkward, and could be improved greatly.

Additionally, I think the "only one life" is a bit annoying; I know it goes with the theme, but I think the "only one level" is enough (I got frustrated after dying a lot and just quit).

All in all, though, this is a fantastic entry! Excited to see what you'll make next. :)

Awesome art style and gameplay! I really like the idea, and I think that it's great for a metroidvaina! 

Nice work! 

I loved the dragon! He made the game really stressful. It was kind of difficult to understand what was going on but I guess that was the point. Overall it was pretty fun to play!
