Love it! So simple but it works so well! Excellent work team!!!

Really great game!  First off, the art is amazing, every single sprite is so good.  The gameplay is great, but it felt like the game was running in slow motion.  I did enjoy tossing the minions into the hero lol.  Overall, awesome work :D

Submitted

The sprites have so much personality!

You should consider making the first gorbling unmissable to show the player that they can be thrown.

I try to go blind in the games to fully experience the twist in gameplay and I completely missed that the hero could be slowed down.

Submitted

The sprites looks so good! Really fun game, I love throwing little goblins 😈
I think the game could be a little faster (same for the animations) and still be enjoyable, but that's just my opinion 😅

Such a solid entry! The art was stunning. Whoever did the sprite work is so talented. Congratulations on your submission!

Very polished game with great art, congrats!

Wow, just wow - this game looks great, feels great to play and has such a nice premise. I have nothing more to say. Great job!

Developer

Really nice comment! Thank you and I'm glad you had fun!

beautiful animations :) i loved how the knight just absolutely doesn't care and simply phases through walls. simple but challenging gameplay, took me at least 5 tries to get to the end (but probably more tbh)

the game feels way too smooth and jank-free for a jam game, huge congrats!

Developer

The phasing was due to time constraints! He has a magic sword, so why not just phase through walls rather than walk around them! I am glad you beat it. You did Gorbin proud!

The art used for this jam was wonderfly done. The knight's flowy walk cycle and the villain's jump animation were _so_ smooth. I struggled when we were both on the single wide walkway but I had a blast. Thank you!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the animations! I tried my best in the short time frame. Hopefully there was fun in the challenge. It's not just you, I played a few rounds tonight and only won once!

The art of the game is amazing, and as a pixel game fan I I love it so much! The gameplay is simple but the level design is fun and tense.

At first, I didn't know that I could jump in this place and kept failing, which made me think that the game was buggy. hahaha :)

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the level design! Thanks for playing, and hopefully you beat it!

Amazing art style, the controls little weird and spacing between walls could be just tiny bit wider. Everything else was fabulous. Well done !

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!
