Saw that ending coming from a mile away! As soon as he gave me a bow I was like, "Nah this dude is EVIL!" nifty little jam game. At some point after dying a couple of times my arrows stop going where the cursor was. At first I hated the particles but then they made sense. Glad you had optimization for if you already killed enemies when he asks you to do it because I had already wiped out half the map by the time he asked me to do the second mission. Dying wasn't really a penalty though, I'd maybe change that! Overall solid little game!

shooting feels a bit floaty but fun little game. 

Fun game!

Did I just kill civilians?

Anyway, I liked the fight mechanic and the overall premise. I think you can cheese the archer AI by walking very close to them, because they stopped shooting at me.

cool game, the idea of a medieval rhythm combat game just cracks me up. I feel like this idea has a lot of potential and could be really fun if developed further.

I love the different juices in the game like the rotations, alongside player attacking. Ran swiftly on my PC. One thing I would recommend is scaling down the world to make room for some more detail on the map! An overall 4 star from me, well done!

Pretty fun, always enjoy a game where you get to shoot a bow. The speed of the arrow was perfect and fighting ranged enemies was very engaging. The main thing I would change is the player stopping when shooting. Otherwise, good job, solid game jam! Also I particularly like the dialog boxes

Well that sure was something. Played it a bit wrong though. Took the bow, killed the target and tried to go back to the dude. He gave me the same bow giving speech again (bug I guess) so I started wandering off.

After a bit everything on the whole world was dead so I returned to the dude. So yeah, he had more "missions" which I had all already completed. Woohoo, a sword, seems useless. At least on the hands of those sword enemies who never even got close to me. I'm guessing that the bow is far superior so you should probably have given the sword first.

The bow shot freezing the character to a spot was a bit annoying. The archer enemies didn't have the same issue so the most useful method of taking them on was outranging them which in turn didn't feel right either. Getting rid of that freezing and giving enemies more range and also slowing down their arrows so they would be dodgeable would make the combat feel way better. Those would have then felt like proper duels. And the sword guys could just block the arrows with their shields so they wouldn't be the jokes they are right now.

The world was a bit empty too. Would either need to condense it down to a smaller size (without losing anything that was there now really) to get rid of just complete emptiness or better yet add more stuff in between. Wouldn't even need to be anything interactive, just like the very sparse forest but more. And some nooks and crannies with some chests filled with, umm, health pickups at least could be a potential candidate.

Sound was lacking. Nothing bad to say about generated beep boop sounds at all but they would need some variation and more effects overall. And obviously music too would help mask the monotone nature of them too. Especially since the jam even allowed using external music.

I also didn't like how the character got stuck to walls if walking too close to them. I'm guessing they were individual colliders. Changing the player collider to circle would fix this.

Anyways, good job! Enjoyable game.

The combat feels good. Sometimes the bow don't shot at the mouse direction. An indicator which characters are friends and which are enemies would be great. I shoot on everything! :) I missed music in this game. This would give it better atmosphere. Overall nice game. Good work! :)

I really liked the combat and the level layout. It starts off easy and in open areas but then gets more difficult in the castle.

But there were a few things I noticed:

1. The bow is superior to the sword as it allows ranged attacks. The sword may be stronger but it's riskier. Maybe start the player off on the sword then give them the bow later
2. The arrow didn't always go to where the cursor was pointed at. It was off by a few degrees, depending on the orientation of the bow.

Cool entry with good combat mechanics and nice particles :) Good idea to make it so that the bow has some kind of cooldown. Here are two things that could be improved:

• Make sure that the player knows how to progress further in your game. I didn't get it to be honest. I just wandered a bit aimlessly and shot at things :D 
• I feel that music is very important for the atmosphere and tone of a game. There are tons of cc0 or otherwise permissive licensed tracks out there. That would have made the game even better :)

Good job!

I loved the particles when the bow was ready to shoot, and the movement particles. If this had an end-game goal, it has potential.
