I really like the concept/graphics - this could be even better as a beat-em-up rather than a 1vs 1 fighter?

I had a little trouble with the controls, I'm playing on a keyboard, but I did die and my head got cut off.  the animations were really great, and the monster that carried off my corpse was a nice touch.

would love to see the source / assets, maybe it could be remixed into something even better from this concept.

giving higher marks for AI since you didn't hide it

overall, I liked it!

Thanks for playing  !!!

It’s an homage to Barbarian (1987) on Amstrad CPC/Atari ST/Amiga and so one .. 

Controls: It uses the original controls — some of that old-school stiffness is intentional. Sorry if the keyboard felt awkward there is a menu to remap them.

Glad you liked the animations, and the monster carrying off the corpse was a fun detail to add. Have a nice day ..
