How does your game fit the theme?
It's a backwards platformer where the princess has to save the knight and go down instead of up.

Hahaaaa, nice! Our team thought of a similar idea too but we didn't go for it since we have no platformer experience. I do think you could make it work, essentially playing as princess peach in a mario game, starting each level off with a bossfight and fighting enemies from behind.
I like the idea man, although I'm merely a solo dev with not much experience yet so I'm not sure about developing a game like Mario, but I very much appreciate the kind words :D Thanks for checking it out!
Im no bitch bitch quack
But you lost... Jk Thanks for playing man :)
Lol, Is that you Pinkman? Fun little reversed platformer, it reminds me of another one where also you have to go down instead of up, but I forgot the name.
haha! can't believe u got breaking bad from that XD. Thanks man appreciate you checking it out ;)
You should have heard my cry of surprise when I saw the death screen xD
very nice game, I love the art, I just wish there was a bit of sound so that I couldn't hear my friends laugh at me when I die :c
Overall good job 👍
Haha, you need new friends it seems XD. Thanks very much I'm glad you enjoyed it. Also I will be adding sounds soon so if you decide to play again, you can drown out the sound of their laughter. Thanks again for playing :)
HAHA bitch yourself! fun idea, kinda sad there's no sound or background but eh you do what you can
Hehe, I will be adding all of that soon. Thanks for playing :D
The death screen took me by surprise for sure.
Haha, thanks for playing :D
Not sure what this means but I appreciate it :)
Omg XD bro I checked google translate for the answers, can't believe I didn't see that, haha.
Can't believe no one's mentioned the death screen yet, that made me laugh out loud haha. Great job and there's definitely a lot of potential areas you could take this if you do shoot for a full release
Haha, I'm glad someone mentioned it, it's probably my favourite part so far XD Thanks a lot, It's a little rough around the edges right now but I definitely plan on continuing development until it feels a bit more polished at least, Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! :D
Good fun. Really like the take on the theme here.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed :D
Really great idea. The character just feels a bit too fast and slidy for my liking. Also I found myself just constantly having the camera faced down.
But it still is a lot of fun and a great game in general. Keep it up!
I have a solution in mind that i plan to add soon for the whole camera thing, and I will adjust the movement settings a little to make it feel more comfortable. Thanks for the feedback and the kind words! :D
Fun idea, like the sprite work!
Thanks :D
I love the princess carrying the knight haha! Very endearing little game, it was fun platforming around. Wish I could offer you more feedback on the game itself, but its core basis is good! Lot's of things you can add that I'm sure you already have plans to do. Like variating platforms in the different areas & such
I really appreciate it, I will be adding some more variating platforms for sure, I'm glad you like the character! Thanks a lot for the review :D
Funny little idea. Good Job :) Only glaring issue in my opinion is that holding down is basically a necessity the whole time, so the camera may as well be set like that without the need to press the button.
Otherwise, fun concept, well executed!
Good point, didn't think of that, think I have another solution for it which I will be adding, thanks for the review I appreciate it :D
It's like one of those Pou minigames but jump knight.
Lol thanks?
Nice game :)
Improvement ideas: particles and screenshake on impact.
That will most definitely be added to the game, was already planning on it, just ran out of time, thanks for the kind words and suggestion :D
Game became a lot easier once I started holding down. I like it.
Haha, I'm glad you figured it out, thanks for playing!
Really cool idea on how to use the Theme! It has the same intensity as game like jump king
That was the idea :D Thanks a lot man!
Fun idea, took a while to get used to looking down. Nice art and theme!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed :D
It is a very interesting idea. I felt like I was playing reverse Jump King. The game is solid but I would make the character movement a bit less floaty. But maybe it was a design choice to make the game harder idk. Anyways, great stuff!
If you mean the momentum in the air after jumping and releasing the move button, that was intentional as I felt an instant stop would be far too easy to control, I appreciate the comparison to jump king, that was exactly what I was going for! Thanks a lot for playing and leaving a review :D
Pretty interesting take! I love the UI and animations, and the gameplay is really interesting with unique mechanics. Great work!
Thanks man really appreciate it, I'll check your game out soon :)
