Yo. I made a top 10 video of the best games I played from the jam.
(Spoiler alert, this game is in it)
Check it out!

This is actually great. Best entry I've seen for play as the assistant instead of the hero. It takes a bit to get the hang of throwing weapons to the princess accurately, when when you do the game flows nicely. Very polished too for a jam game. Great job
You guys the best !!! 5 stars
Truly an excellent entry!
while the concept quite simple, I truly enjoyed this playthrough,
the mechanics are well made, very creative of you to choose such a concept like being a sidekick, the first I see in this jam yet, so kudos on the creativity!
the execution is very great too, the game is smooth and controls well, never encountered any funny stuff, quite polished too for such a short time frame! I truly respect realizing such an Idea in such a limited timeframe!
visually, the game has a simple artstyle, but a unique look thanks to the choice of the camera angles and adding the shadows to the sprites, that's so smart and gave the game a unique look that makes it stand out, I like the choice of the color palette too, albeit I felt the bloom to be excessive, but maybe that's just me,
sound wise everything cheeks out too, the music is cool too and totally fits the vibe,
overall a very solid entry, and quite the memorable one thanks to its simplicity and balance, its easy to pick up and play, I would totally play something of this nature in a more polished, expanded setting,
thus, truly a fun experience I had! great work!
this is really cute.
Super cool art and very polished feel! There is definately something here to expand on.. :O
Incredible what you were able to accomplish in the time allowed!
If there is one thing I would recommend adding, its some more humor. eg. the princess impatiently yelling at the player when she needs a weapon. But that's just frosting.
One of the best balanced games in the jam. Easy to pick up and start playing, fun, engaging....
Great job!
This was fantastic! I loved the use of perspective so much! The art was great! As were the mechanics!
Super polished game with a very easy to understand concept. And great pixel art too!
This is one of the best games I've seen this jam in terms of gameplay feel, polish, visuals, theme interpretation, etc, it's actually unbelievable. Phenomenal job!
Very creative idea on the theme! Love the presentation of the game and the mechanics feel fun. The only downside is i feel like the items stopped appearing after a little bit. Would be good if they spawned around player quite often.
Realy creative idea to be just the sidekick isntead of the main hero! the controls are lovely and the art is super nice! I just ahve one suggestion, instead of just switching rthe weapons, maybe let the sidekick fgive the pricness as much weapons as possible so as the difficulty increases the princess becomes a sword tornadoe!! All in all very nice game!
If you can find the time, would you please check out our game as well?!
Our twist of the theme is that a critic tries to play your unfinished game, and you fight from inside the computer to make him like it.
Really fun idea and game! I like that the sidekick concept is not just a narrative, the gameplay really is different than a normal dungeon crawler. You managed to make escort missions fun, and all it took was a somewhat competent escortee!
Graphics are charming and clear (nice post effects), music also fits well together. Nice job!
PS: fun to see other (ex-)Chimps participate! Hope you guys are doing well. Rider Worlds is a blast so far, in case any of you worked on it.

Wow!! Incredible presentation. loved the originality of the mechanics. a bit more fleshed out with some variety and I'd spend hours in this game.
Great idea to give the player the role of a sidekick! Also loved the grafics, the music is well chosen. Cool game!
Loved the aesthetic, gameplay was great too, wish there were more weapons
5 Stars !
The game is beautifull, The music is really cool, and the concept is fun !
I will play it more if there is additionnal content after the gamejam ! (It can become addictif with more content)
Beautiful presentation!!! The gameplay was enjoyable, but it got a little overwhelming.
Quick serve my queen!
I like that instead of the "hero vs monster" reversed role to "monster vs hero" (which I did), you swap it with the "people who serve the hero" and successfully make it fun to play!
Wow! Love the idea and the execution. Such a unique perspective and it feels great to play. Amazing Job!
