Amazing art, some real cute writing, and some fun gameplay! Things like the knight's slash being well-telegraphed made the whole thing feel satisfying to play! Vertical movement felt sometimes a bit tricky and not immediately responsive, which was especially noticeable when fighting the birds, but it works well with the scope of the game :) A fun time! Amazing work, and thanks for sharing! :)

Developer

Thank you! Thanks for playing too

I reached like probably the last level and died and don't have the patience to try again. That's on me and not the game, the game itself is quite nice top marks for both the art and writing of the game. Good job.

Developer

I'm grateful to hear to that, and if you're still interested in seeing the ending—it's the end of the jam anyway—here's a dev walkthrough:
(I'll take it down if an admin tells me to, though)

It was a fun little game. I like story it had and the art is really good.

I had difficulty with controlling the character and combat, got a little annoyed by the birds after like the 30th attempt.

Developer(+1)

Glad you had fun! I'll consider lowering the number of birds in the future, and add a substitute input control for arrow keys + Z & X

Submitted

It wasn't that the birds were bad, it was difficult to maneuver myself to hit them. It felt difficult to time the 'attack + jump' to be at the right height and sometimes even when I did, the attack was still on cooldown and I miss.

Developer

thank you, I'll take a note of that

Developer

YOO thank you all for the comments! I'm busy right now with classes and helping my friends with their projects, so I forgot to reply earlier; I'll start responding to any future comments now

i think this is one of my favorites. amazing animations. funny story. i would have enjoy it more if i weren't restarting from level one. the controls felt good. good overall

Developer

I appreciate it! I rebuild player controllers from the ground up every time I start a new jam — It's good to hear that this one felt nice on the controls too.

This reminded me a little bit of one finger death punch. Very neat. The visuals and audio are SUPER polished and pleasant. I sucked at hitting flying letters. died to those a lot. 

Developer(+1)

I think it's because I may have set the spawn at such a weird height on the flying letters, but I'm happy to hear you still liked the game.
Actually, the main inspiration I had was from Vampire Survivors, as I was planning to add a feature to upgrade the player after each wave, but I scrapped it because I didn't have enough time :/

Visuals are so polished and juicy! Having a story was really nice. Wish we didn't restart from the start every time though ;( . Solid solo entry!

Developer

Not technically solo—I had a portrait artist, and I had a friend giving me feedback while I was making the game, even telling me to add a fursuit mascot jokingly, and I think it ended up being one of my favorite additions in there. 'Love the review

What a Good game ! The art is incredible ! the character portraits are really nice and the pixel art is really charming. I really liked the story too !

Developer(+1)

You're too kind, bro. I'm happy you enjoyed it!

I mean, even if I don't really read romance webtoon, this game really felt like a good romance action webtoon with the MC secretly in love with the female protagonist and trying his best to protect her ✨

I had fun playing this! And the art is incredible and gives the game so much personality. Great work! :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I'm happy that the pixel art pulled it through too, since my portrait artist did a fantastic job

Submitted(+1)

this is one of the best games so far

Developer(+1)

With a lot of other great submissions here too, this means a lot after taking a long ass break from game dev :D

Submitted(+1)

Very fun, the art is endearing and the writing is hilarious! my only issue is restarting from wave 1

Developer

So glad you enjoyed it, even though it seems the wave 1 restart issue is the biggest glare I'm noticing

Submitted(+1)

Fun game, and the humour is on point. Having to replay from the start feels quite punishing

Developer

Haha, thank you! My biggest worry at first was the dialogue.
I'll make sure to add a save function next time I update the game
