Lovely art! I initially thought I was stuck when the monster had a weapon that I needed. Later I smacked him with the sword and got it. I guess the hero said - "Guess I'll die" lol xD Fun! Good job!

Cool fun little game. Great job!

Well polished and cute idea!

Only two gripes:

  1. Little UI on screen reminding you what your kill goal should be (the hero will tell you if you them with the wrong weapon already though)
  2. Need a reset button, got stuck in some terrain and had to refresh, unfortunately.

I'm sorry to hear that, I didn't know that it was possible to get stuck it is a bug :(.

but thanks for the feedback.

Really well polished!I love the animation of the levels' goal screen most.

That was really cool! Loved the visuals and the puzzle mechanics, it gets pretty interesting in the end.

was so fun to play this one, love the art and feels already pretty polished!

Pretty cute aesthetics. Love the gameplay and presentation. Let me get this straight, the hero wants you to kill him, and at some point, you had to kill yourself 🤔

Developer(+1)

yep, this is the twist 😅, as a monster you kill the hero and as a hero you try to get killed

I love the visuals!!! Cool little puzzle game you have here. Right now it feels a lot like a tutorial, which isn't a bad thing considering the time frame. Well done!

I like the soundtrack good job on the final song. The game was appealing overall . My main problem is that I need more levels! So good on the art too. good job. :)
