love this game so much, best game level design in this game jam , remind me of the game (drangon and the sword)
Deepest Sword?
Thank you very much!! People have mentioned Deepst Sword before which is a similar concept :)
its amazing
Thanks!! ^_^
I love the Metroidvania vibes in this game!
THE LITTLE SKELETON..., I ADORE THEM!!!!!
Wow, this is a really simple but highly polished Metroidvania! It’s straightforward, but the satisfaction of unlocking paths, just like in Metroid, was incredible! Thank you for such a great game! (The squished skull getting crushed as the weapon gets heavier was super cute!)
Thank you!!! :D Happy to hear you liked it, did you get to the end? :)
Of course! Everything was perfect right up to the end :)
Awesome!! Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for playing! :D
Phenomenal job! Great art and tightly designed and polished!
Tysm! Glad you liked my art!! :D
Great game! Art was super cute and I loved the ending! The game functioned very well and I had a good time playing though it! Great work! : D
Thank you very much!!! Happy you finished the game and enjoyed it, appreciate the kind words!
Quite clever level-design, despite the fact that the map really big I always intuitively knew where to go. Great job!
Thank you!! :D
couldn't get where the game was going until encountering the first gem!! the whole concept of guns multiplying(?) was really fun! great job!!!
Behold the QuadraGun! Which at the same time got me stuck somewhere where i couldn't go through.. "Maybe i suck, which i do too xD" Besides that, AWESOME game, very good animations and level design, i love the idea of scaling weapons to solve puzzles, great work!
Genuinely love the level design in this <3
thank you so much! it means a lot!
Simple yet great. I'm pretty sure this is gonna end up in top 20
Thank you!!! Can never be sure haha, many fantastic games this year.
Fantastic metroidvania! Unfortunately I got stuck at some point with the 4 barrels gun. I know how hard is to design platformer with variable sizes because I also did that, and I only did 5 independent easy levels, a whole metroidvania are big words! Also love the style and specially the music. Well done!
Thanks for the kind words!
Unfortunately it seems many people got stuck at that part. I assure you there's a way to continue (as far as we know it's impossible to get stuck anywhere in the game).
You gotta think outside the box to get past that part. :) If you ever give it another try and solve that puzzle I'd love to hear your thoughts again.
Either way appreciate you took the time to play it and write down feedback. I'll definitely be trying out your game too when I'm done with work today. :)
Best I've played so far, smart and simple use of the theme, combined with metrovania level designs. So Good.
Tysm!! Appreciate the kind words and very glad you liked it :D
Woow, awesome pixel art style and color palette! Really creative take on the theme!We had a blast playing it! Awesome job!
Thank you very much!! We made the color palette up as we went :D
Thank you very much!! Super happy you got to credits and enjoyed it! :D
Wow, really stylish and enjoyable experience, great pixel art, music and game design, really polished, well done !
Thank you very much! Very glad to hear you found it enjoyable :D
Thanks for the kind words! <3
Nice ending! The animation were amazing. Good work!
Tysm!! Glad you liked my animations! :D
That was completely delightful. Well done, and thank you!
