Nice story and visuals, the dynamite/spikes thing was a neat mechanic (especially when i realised you could mine the spikes!). If you continue with it, could you add a way to speed up movement? And as a first project, this is amazing!

great storytelling! and the background music for this moment is great, reminds me of beethoven's moonlight sonata and i love it, for me the combat system needs some improvement, it felt quite hard to control with the arrows and attack with z, i coudn't survive on 3 slimes, maybe if you give a bigger knockback on hit it would work better.
great submission
I found the general gameplay addictive and the player screams made me laugh. Good job!
Cool first game, I like the graphics, remind me of something you would play on NES and that's always welcome. I liked the attack system too, you have to time it in order to not get damage and then there's the stamina bar that prevents you from spamming attacks. Good work!
For a first project ever this is really well made i gotta say :o
The controls feel quite precise and i like some of the details like the pipes being one way platforms, and the little text prompts like when you come across the spiked area without the dynamite.
If i had to nitpick i'll just point 2 small things out, the character movement is a bit slow and the large map size doesn't really help with that feeling, and the melee range seems a bit short and hard to estimate, as you can often get hit while hitting enemies.
Other than these, it's still solid regardless and that is especially impressive for a first game !
On a side note though, DAT pain scream when you get hit O_o
Anyway, congrats and well done :)
As a first project this is really EPIC. I liked the intro it reminded me of the classic Fallout, it looked so professional. Good job
this was an interesting experience. seems like theres some big story seeds there, especially in the set up. fantastic job on the music!
Nice work! Using the dynamite is very satisfying! I only wish I could run faster :)
Very cool for a first game. Kind of a mystical atmosphere. I always tried to kill all enemies, but failed after a couple. :D
