Definitely strong Adventure of Link vibes, mixed with Castlevania graphics. Nice!

I love the art in your game! The text boxes are so crispy!

This game really felt like Zelda II or Battle of Olympus. It was really well made and I want more.  Controls felt really good.

Wow! Blown away, so much polish in this thing. I love the little touches like how you used the full color palette to add a bit of anti-aliasing to your text and HUD. The damage and death VFX are great. Everything has great feedback, the sprite and tile work is top notch, even unfinished and dead end areas you took the time to spell out "THE END" or "WIP" to communicate to the player.

I'm only sad that there isn't more.

Really enjoyed playing this game. The player animates very well and feels great to control. It is also very satisfying to kill monsters. It looks like a shop and magic abilities are something you are planning to add too which is really cool. Nice job!

Love that YS and Link II feel to it. One thing I need to point out (people things its not too important) music is just as important. I enjoyed the game but that dungeon music was driving me crazy. BUT! I love the town house music. it had me laughing because (I am not sure if you intended it that way) the NPC's dance to the beat :D over all can't wait to see more coming from this game. Keep up the good work.

Yeah that’s the first music I’ve ever done in my life. I was wishing I’d have reached out someone by the end. I probably won’t try it again!

no dont be like that even i would had been the same if I didnt reach out. Keep trying and you'll get better. You did something I couldn't even do. So keep it up.

Agree about the Faxanadu comments, also reminded me a little of Castlevania, the first TMNT, maybe Talespin for Game Gear? Even Prince of Persia. I had fun trying to not be lost. Good textures and art that really gives a nod to some classic games.

Great graphics. This reminds me of Battle of Olympus and Faxanadu. Good job!

I was going to say the same thing. Good stuff.

Thanks! Yeah the game was very much inspired by Faxanadu and Zelda 2 so I'm happy you feel that way :). Also, I used the Battle of Olympus character as the main reference for the animations of my main character.

Love the oldschool vibe of the whole thing. Nice graphics too. Feels like it could have come out in 1990 or thereabouts.
