Judge feedback

  • Ooh this is a fun game! The tie to the theme is present, as you are playing as a sword. I really liked the throw function, and the fact that you could then keep fighting as the sword and moving around, while the knight stood still. It is a bit overpowered though, and I would suggest maybe a different mechanism (I was thinking like the VACS System in Fallout). If not, consider a "return to sender" action, so I don't have to wait 10 seconds to return to the swordsman and keep moving. I loooved the artstyle, and what you have for the sprites. The animations, when there were, were also super smooth. You got talent! Very buggy, especially with the dialog boxes, but hey, it's playable! And it's fun! I got stuck at some point where the swordsman couldn't jump out, but that's ok. Definitely a work in progress, and one you should keep working on!

Summarise your game!
You play as a knight! …Or not actually, a sword!
Use your majestic sharp edge to slash through all the enemies that stand in your way, and use your useless human to carry you and take hits! You feel that this castle is where this journey will end. Will you be able to take your revenge on the one that betrayed you?

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You are an abusive sword

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Have FUN! Don't pay too much attention that there are sometimes 2 swordies. This game was rushed due to time mismanagement, so I (Freya) apologise for the jank.

Good job on the character animation! It looks pretty good.

Thank you, I'm so flattered!

I wish I had done animations other than player character. Maybe will get to it later!

That is a metaphor of getting stuck in a n abusive relationship, without a way of getting out.

100% intended
