fix the button del q, is stupid
Okay! Keyboard controls have been changed (for the better I hope)!
This game is amazing :D. The presentation is awesome and they gameplay is quite fun. The controls is kinda weird because on my keyboard the del and end keys are very small. I also encountered a bug where I'm invincible and monsters don't attack me at all. Still a pretty good game overall
Thank you! And yeah sorry about the weird keyboard controls. I tried to emulate the controller layout for on keyboard.. I guess I figured most people would use the controller also. My bad!
I don't think it's a bug maybe but perhaps the game is just too easy, oopsie!
Keyboard controls have been changed (for the better I hope)!
Great Game, keep up the Great WOrk
if you didnt checked out mine then play it, it would really help me . ANd Rate IT!
Oh I didn't see your comment before, probably 'cos of the massive text hehe.
Thank you! I'll give it a look!
You did a good job (or at least I assume since I've never played a souls game) of making Dark Souls in an 8-bit retro design. My only grip is that since there were so many controls I often found myself forgetting which button did what
Yeah sorry about that! Maybe I should simplfy the controls too.. rather than trying to copy Dark Souls. Good idea!
amazing game, really polished, beautiful art, nice vfx and sfx and great gameplay(of course its great its DS1)
<3 Thaaaamk you!!
Since I'm playing DS1 right now, I just had to check this out. This is definitely going into my top 3 favorite games of the jam. I love how accurate this is to the original while also maintaining the retro style and adding something of it's own. My only complaint about the gameplay is that most enemies are extremely passive and won't even try to attack you if you spam attack them, but even if you give them a breathing window it'll take them way too long to take a hit at you, so maybe making the enemies more active would've been an improvement.
Thank you so much for such high praise!
I often find it hard to find the line between too easy and too hard. I'm working on improving the skeleton's aggression as we speak!
I'll let you know once I'm happy with them!
Enemies are less passive now!
This game is really very good. The sprites are beautiful, the sound effects fit the game’s vibe perfectly, and it’s really fun to play with a controller. I still plan on finding all the secret
Thank you!
Yeah I tried o emulate the controller layout on the keyboard and it's quite awkard sadly.
Good luck finding them all!
Loved the art and the concept, very polished, aestethically at least, as some said, some issues with keyboard but very cool!
Yeah sorry about the weird controls, they made sense to me!
I appreciate the compliment on the visuals!
Keyboard controls have been changed (for the better I hope)!
Really cool art work I even had to bust out the controller when you said it was recommended. The animations are nice and crisp and the dungeon feels really fun to explore. The game feel is really well polished
Thank you so much!
It's so nice to get so many positive comments
What a work for being made in just 7 days, beautiful! Very polished and funny to play. I personally found the movement a bit too stiff, but the roll helps with that. Keep it up :)
Oh still?
How can I fix that?
Thank you for saying such lovely things! <3

What a fun game! I love the art style and vibe of this so much. There is also a ton of content! They were some minor bugs I ran into such as getting stuck on slopes but otherwise this was great! Awesome job!
I will fix the skope-bug eventually! It seems random whether it affects you each run or not!
Thank you so much for the screenshot and thank you for the feed back and positivity! <3
Oh you still have all 3 secrets to find!
Also sorry if the grading system is quite harsh, it was based on me, the developer speedrunning the game knowing all of the ins and outs and probably should be readjusted.
Mot of the bugs have been fixed now I hope!
Really fun game :)
Thank you!
Art and sfx is great, looks absolutely gorgeous! Controls seem a bit weird to me though? Don’t have a controller unfortunately and played with keyboard, couldn’t do heavy attacks because I don’t think I have the end key on mine
Oh yikes, that is a problem! Sorry.
Thank you for the kind words!
Okay! Keyboard controls have been changed (for the better I hope)!
Also heavy attacks have been removed.
That was a really cool demake! Really cool sprite work and sound design overall, and we could definitely find back the difficulty of those good old Dark Souls games.
It's done, I'll iron out the remaining bugs in the morning! <3
