Ah good, a game with a strong, sturdy plot! You know what is going on from the start! And to make things more interesting, a "To Be Continued" has been included... This must be pondered.
Aside from the mentioned animation issue (namely Sir Knight), the gameplay is definitely stronger than expected. Nice job!
I would suggest instructions on how to play the game on your game page, so people what keys do what.
Notes:
I think I found a way to cheese this game. But constantly spinning the player around (up, right, down, left, repeat for instance), the morning star is spinning around full-time, leaving you open to worry more about dodging incoming enemies.I see you included that as part of your tips later on. XD
Bonus:
- YES! Pause buttons! I REALLY like that game makers are starting to include these in games. Sound on/off is also a nice touch.
