The gameplay is very simple but fun! The idea is very good as well! The game could be better if it had sound effects or a tutorial or something like that. Good work!

Interesting Idea. I would add a bit more enemies (soldiers) and maybe a variety of speeds. The basic game-play is fun. And I like the Idea of rock xD

It was very satisfying watching the rocks bounce from soldier to soldier. Felt like I could get some fun chains going! Nice game!

A tutorial would be great ahaha but interesting game nonetheless. The art definitely needs some polishing but it's very cute. Would love to see how the game can implement other variations of enemies if there's plans for updates.

I couldn't seem to interact with the game at all, no buttons worked :( am I missing something? I didn't see a tutorial anywhere. Does anyone else have this problem?

It's the arrow keys (left-right to move, down to throw a rock). Took me a bit to discover that.

I think the concept is pretty fun. It'd be really fun to have voices of the knights calling out as they try to rescue her.

Interesting idea. It seems that the art needs more polishing for now. I'll be happy to see how this game can develop with more levels, weapons and enemies in the future.

It looks cool, the art is great (except that it seems the format is messed up because there is black instead of transparent around sprites), the particle effect after a rock hit a knight is funny. Now I don't know if there is a score or not, which would be cool, because for some reason I could not play in full screen and the sides were cropped.

I ready enjoyed throwing rocks at simps, but I think I would enjoy it more if it got harder over time, also if you want remove the black part around the princess and knights, upload the images into the game as PNG files
