This was quite fun actually. Seems like it also has a small strategic aspect where you have to think about the route you take and maybe clear a passage in advance. Took a few tries to win but I liked it.

Besides some white boxes in the level, I don't think I have any gripes with it. Nicely done!

This is so scary, hahaha. I really like the idea of playing the coward who's purpose in the game is to run away and let your comrade fight/die for you -- it certainly generates a lot of empathy for low-level monsters that get steamrollered by hero types!

I also think that the format of 1st-person 3D really worked in favor of this feeling. Although sometimes it felt like the grab/interact function wasn't quite working, the simple controls were intuitive and quick to get a handle on.

This was strangely a lot more enjoyable than I anticipated from the first few seconds. At first I thought it was a straight gag game -- you die immediately because you're a level 1 goblin and that's the joke. I was curious to see if I could run away from the player so I ran and hid over in the room the player came from, and fell into the void.

I was about to quit when I realized that the paladina actually had a health bar, and my allies were actually doing considerable damage. Not enough to win in the end without my help, but enough to make me realize that this was an achievable goal.

On restart, I noticed the game world was much larger than I thought. Plenty of places to run at least, and the paladina actually does get distracted instead of mercilessly hunting you down.

Difficulty is a tough thing to balance. If the paladina was too easy to defeat, this game would be pointless and boring. Too difficult, and this would be impossible and frustrating. Worse, that balance will be different for each player, and because the game is supposed to be difficult, a difficulty selector doesn't really work here. For me, the balance was great.

You had to learn a route, know where to run and when, how long to throw barrels for, etc. With your only attacks being a jank throwing mechanic, you have to rely on your allies, but they're limited and can only do so much for you. Ultimately, you have to manage both in tandem.

If you do fall in the basement too early, you're pretty much toast -- you'd think you could've put in like a real staircase instead of two weird white floating rectangles.

Idk, I'm a fan of jank 1 hit kill super hard games like "I Wanna Be the Guy" so this appealed to me.

Tried the game and liked it! The presentation is really well done and the gameplay is interesting, even if I died…many times. On web it’s hard to aim, move the camera and I thought to have at least one basic attack, but I can only interact with items…so I would make things clearer. Quit Game options in a web build is weird to have. The F button and the voice acting when losing the game was awesome :D

This is straight up a horror game lol. Chucked a barrel at the hero and ran away in the opposite direction. Almost got caught near the end but I survived.
