Beatiful graphics, I like the casual but effective mechanic too, my only problem was that I didn't undestand the doors hahaha, in my first play I thought that's only one level :P

Thanks for your feedback. To get through the door you must press the up arrow key ;-)

I thought I had already commented on this game but it turns out I did it over in the game page. I have this game full marks because it gave me a lot of pleasure to play and it looks and sounds amazing. Great work from the whole team. I can't wait to see what you do next.

Developer

we are glad you enjoyed playing our game. we also enjoyed coding it.  maybe we will continue this kind of adventure.  Thank you for your nice comment

Submitted

It was really nice to have variety of attacks, well done!

Developer

we had a lot of fun imagining the different weapons.  I'm glad you liked it.  Thanks for your feedback

Submitted

A great art style! A well done Pixeling. Good job, dude!

I felt like I'm imortal eating so much hot dog. lol

Great game!

Developer

Thanks for giving the game a try! Hotdog drop frequency was a huge debate on the team!

Submitted

Yeah. I think this is the only "con" of the game. The rest is amazing. :)

Nice side scroller. Was a bit easy, but anyone that gets balance right in a 2-week production time either got lucky or let everything else slide. Graphics were really nice, and the little touches like the blood dripping from the G in Game Over add to the polish and flare of the game. Bookmarking this one for killing time when waiting for shaders to compile or builds to finish. 

Developer(+1)

Haha, you have fine eye! With family and work, most of the two weeks were spent on development leaving only 2 days for balancing the combat system. But this community is leaving great feedback, so we'll improve the game for sure!

Submitted

I loved the graphics, very smooth animation (although my computer ran it a bit slow). Also loved how many attack options there were, but perhaps they could be introduced gradually as they become useful, to reduce information load upfront. Beautiful entry!

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks for the feedback. You should probably try one of the download versions for a smoother experience. We never considered adding weapons gradually, that's a great idea!

Submitted

Nice looking and fun game! I especially like sprite of main hero.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! LittleB0xes put all his efforts into it and he's a talented artist!

Submitted

Game is beautiful! Best part about this one for sure is the sprite-work. Nice entry!

Developer

Thanks for trying it out!

Submitted

This is a really nice entry! Very good graphics and graphical effects, SFX are spot on and the music keeps you going and going! 

Developer

Thanks a lot for trying the game! It means a lot from the developer of such a great entry.

Might need to up the difficulty. I got through the first two levels without taking any damage and by only using the axe.

Developer

Yes, that's the general feedback. We'll nerf the axe, probably by slowing it down. Thanks for trying the game!

Submitted

Great entry !

Lowrez style is perfectly executed, maybe the music should have been something like chiptune.

Gameplay seems simple at first glance but it is really deeper and interesting. Being able to miss the exit is a bit weird, though.

Art and Animations are really great !

Developer

Thanks for those nice words !

Submitted

Stunning art! Beautiful palette. Congrats :)

Developer

Thanks for trying the game and the compliment! It means a lot!

Submitted

Really really loved the artwork! highest marks 

Developer

Glad you like it ! LittleB0xes put a lot of effort into it !

Beautiful game! Really love the artwork. Found the gameplay to be a bit repetitive as others have mentioned. Also found if I just used the axe I could beat anything - it would be good if different enemies were vulnerable to different weapons or immune to some to give an edge.

Developer (1 edit)

Thaks for the feedback. I'll try and make the axe slower, so you can't use it with the faster enemies and make it a riskier weapon.

Submitted

Love the spritework!

Developer

Thanks for trying it out and the nice comment!

Submitted

Probably the best graphics in the entire jam. Amazing pixel art and animation. Really impressive for 64x64. Also loved the attention to detail such as the GameOver screen. The game felt a bit repetitive but it was enjoyable trying to analyze the pixel art while killing monsters. Awesome job!

Developer

Hey ! Thanks for you kind words. It was my first platformer/action game as a programmer and I struggled a little. I'll do better next time, I hope !

Submitted

The game is fun, the graphics are the best, I like the palette you have used and the attention to detail, good game top graphics

Developer(+1)

Thanks! LittleBOxes is indeed super talented!

Submitted

Love the art. The death animation and game over screens especially, which is good as I see them often!

Developer

The game is not that hard after a few tries but thanks for trying it out and for the nice words !

Submitted(+1)

You're right, I was able to get the hang of it after just a few deaths. Probably more of an indictment of my skills than anything.

Great work!

Submitted

Pixel art looks beautiful. The game is surprisingly difficult for my casual gaming style. Overall a very good job as a jam game. -oneak

Developer

Hey! Thanks for giving it a try! The game feels hard at first but if you use the proper combo gun+sword or gun+axe, you can definitelly beat the game!

Submitted

Very cool little game and pixel art. Once I understood how to abuse gun/axe combo, it was easy. And it was made with dragonruby gtk, that’s nice.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words ! I'm happy you could get the weapons combo ! And yeah : DragonRuby for the win !!!
