Hi, contact me through this form with your email and I will get in touch: https://tally.so/r/wgN55O

I love the animation!  Thanks for sharing.

It was interesting to play this after having played the original Defender for the first time at an arcade just last month. It felt fresh to me despite being from the early 80's because I don't think I've seen other games where you can fly left and right like that, and that the controls feel really responsive and fun.  You've definitely captured the feel of the gameplay.

Neat project, thanks for sharing!

I'd love to do a sci-fi pack.  Maybe someday :)

Thanks for the kind words! I'd love to do animations eventually, but I simply don't have the time right now for the amount of work that would be.  I hope someday.

Such a cool concept! Really impressive for 2 days.

I hope they are useful!

Thanks so much!

I've added a fencer of this style to the latest update:

Thank you! I'm glad it's been useful.

Glad it's helpful! Thanks for the kind words.

hm, I sent you an email because on Discord it said you weren't accepting friend requests.  I'll send another one--maybe check your spam folder?

I like the graphics!  The game looks neat.

Oh, hm, I don't have a good solution for this.  Since Itch doesn't have a private messaging system, you can either message me on Twitter or Mastodon, or use the Feedback form to send me your Discord invite/some more info.  I check them all regularly.

if you want more levels, we made it into a full game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2655920/Gravitorium/

it releases tomorrow :)

Go ahead, that's what they are for!  Feel free to use them for game jams, prototypes, published games, whatever.

Glad to hear that and thanks for sharing! Your prototype looks neat.

your prototype is neat, thanks for sharing!

that's a cool idea, I'll put it on my list

Thanks for the kind words!  The knight is also one of my favorites.

Most of the characters are based of off standard European medieval fantasy fare, but I definitely want to branch out eventually.  Stay tuned!

Thank you! I'd love to, but it'd simply be a ton of work for this many sprites. That won't happen any time soon.

Thank you!  I used a custom 64 color palette I developed for this project

Hey your game is quite fun!  I'm glad these assets were helpful :)

Thank you!

Coop Catacombs 2!? But seriously can't wait to see what you make with them.

Very fun! Seems tightly balanced already and figuring out (and executing) your next optimal move is really enjoyable. The tutorial also does a great job at explaining the game.  Nice job!

Neat game with some fun ideas. I particularly liked how combat worked between enemies and elite enemies (although the normal ones were pretty trivial).  Ends up being way too easy to grind HP and stack size since rock is so plentiful.  I think it would be good if the majority of the caverns were made of dirt and you had to hunt for stone as well.

very pretty game, and the combat abilities were fun!  I got to and beat the boss pretty easily--it feels like the blunt/stun weapons are pretty OP. I think it could be nice to experiment with 8 directional combat to get more of a chaotic brawl feeling going. I'd like to see the wait time between movements shortened a little (and of course a proper win screen :) ) Nice job!

Cool game!  I thought I was going to get an easy win on my second run, but Jörmungandr was way more powerful than I had anticipated (I'm actually not sure if I died to him or if I lost to the Ragnarok clock).  Eventually beat the game though!

I'd like to see more descriptions on the items, since it's unclear which will be better than the others (not that it matters much, since you want to be shapeshifted as much as possible)

Oh yeah, and I couldn't tell why it would be advantageous to increase your Serpent form tail.

Thanks so much!

So cool!  Such great detail at such small sizes.

thanks so much!  It's a fun game jam with a great community, I definitely recommend it.

I edited the license. I hope that clears things up.

oh cool, thanks for the link.  I like the animations you added, it adds a lot of character.  I'm looking forward to whenever you pick this back up.

Seriously inspiring.  Great job!

thank you!

Thanks!  That's good feedback about the post.  

This actually started as DF mod I was tinkering with in my spare time.  Which explains why there are so many animals.  I quickly realized there were way too many graphics for me to replace for me do by myself in a timely manner, so I extracted the graphics for this project, and added new humanoid/monster sprites.  Maybe someday I'll make that mod...

great art style!

Very fun.  The difficulty spike after 10 bounces or so could be lessened, seems impossible to survive at that point.  I'd like to try for higher scores!

Oops, that was just a typo in the date :) You played that version.  I did fix the arrow keys and the exhort ability, though.  Thanks for praying!
