Newbie?

Experienced

Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.

How does your game fit the theme?
Instead of jumping into the hero's journey, you have to do all the prep work before one!

Very cool game! I'm impressed that you can do all this in just the span of this game jam!

I did feel like the combat is a little too hard already, but maybe I just also suck, haha. Another thing that bothered me was the camera tilting from side to side as you move the mouse and the character. That was quite disorienting, so I think it should be a priority if you continue to develop this game post-jam.

But overall I'm really impressed so congrats on the submission!

Developer(+1)

Yeah the difficulty is a tad bit high, and the camera movement was a bit overtuned. These are things we'll definitely change when we expand on the idea. Thank you so much for playing! <3

Amazing game haha! I love the parody of some game I just can't quite put my finger on... think it is named after some princess.... and the hero's name is so similar hmm... ANYWAYS I love LYNCH and his quest haha! That was great fun and really cool game for the jam! Great job to all of y'all!

Developer(+1)

Totally original story! Nintendon't steal. Thanks for playin' our game! Glad ou enjoyed it! <3

Very polished and cool game! I think you have done everything pretty well in this game, I liked how fast we are insert into gameplay, I liked the sound effects, the visuals, music and combat. As a great fan of The Legend of Zelda, I liked this game so much, congrats!

Developer(+1)

Means a lot man! Thank you for playing! Picking the sound effects and music took a day of dev time on its own!

<3

I love how the game feels and looks! Really does remind me of the old Zelda games, it just feels so polished all around. The sword felt really nice, the boss fight at the end felt like a nice summary of the build up, and the sound design/music really hit home that Zelda feel. Amazing work :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! We wanted the combat to feel as juicy as possible. We would definitely change a few things but we're happy with how it came out.

Your game was rad aswell! I played it this morning! <3

im actually so damn surprised this game looks AWESOME, loved the 3 models loved the art loved the sound effects loved the combat loved the hitstop you made literally everything you made is perfect and its so surprising this game has only 18 rates where it actually should have at least +70 rates really great job i will for sure comeback and beat this masterpiece of a game.

also you can play my game if you dont mind i would love to hear your feedback upon my game.

Developer(+1)

Haha we're just happy to have gotten seen! Thank you so much!

I'll play yours aswell, it looks awesome!

Submitted(+1)

This is a peak jam styled Zelda game. Must play for anyone who has played ocarina of time. Controls are great! Art/Graphics is peak.

Can’t say much, go and play this game! And please develop the game further. It has so much potential!

And thanks for providing a Linux executable.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yeah we'll definitely expand upon this game! Gotta support my linux homies <3

Submitted(+1)

I am reminded of Lunk, buff link. I wouldn't have the enemies move to the player's position, but move close to the players position then attack. It prevents the bunchup that is happening. Amazing work in such a short time.

Developer

Yeah you're right haha. The AI is very VERY dumb atm. We'll totally improve it in the future!

Thank you for playing! It means a ton. <3

Really funny take on a zelda game. The one thing I will say is that before the mom fight, it was a bit visually distracting that navi was centered on the screen. Great otherwise, just might want to move navi to the left or right a bit for visual clarity.

Developer

You are absolutely right. That is one thing we would've changed had we had time.
Thank you for playing! It means a lot! <3

I'm speechless.... just... idk what to comment, really... IT IS SO FUNNY... was already really enjoying it till I got to the boss and it broke me... smiling from ear to ear even more with how good it is... only thing that is missing is controller support... If you ever continue the game's development, you have a LOT of potential for a hit

Developer

Haha thank you! It means a lot! Your game was awesome too!

Lots of love! <3

DUDE IT'S JUST OCARINA OF TIME BUT MORE WHAT ELSE DO I SAY?!?!?!

Developer

LMFAO Nah man It's a fully original story. Starring the forgotten Keebler Elf Lynch. Nintendo can't touch this

Thanks for playing! <3

Submitted(+1)

Oh my god, this game is just, just perfect! Really captures the zelda vibe, and the music is fantastic. I really felt the rat's bite, never seen an enemy's attack have so much significance, even in major AAA titles... Anyways, I do have one small suggestion. You should start from the area you were last in, and not the house, just fantastic game otherwise!

Developer

Haha thank you so much! Yeah we planned on a checkpoint at the forest but we ran out of time lol.

Thank  you for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! <3

one of best game i've seen in the jam so far story... lets just say its generic . its crazy how long this sword can slash also it feels like their is just too much wiggle while moving the camera . a cross-hair would be appreciated  also a mini map as well if possible and its my opinion but instead of having a invisible wall around the village i would prefer a actual wall with sprite  the combat is done really well so does the sound effects even tho everything is low-poly it still maintained  the aesthetics really well with particles and environment 

Developer(+1)

haha yeah It's not the most original haha. Thank you so much for your feedback. It means the world. We'll definitely take them into account for when we make a full game!

Appreciate the play! <3!

cant wait to kill ginandorf. the journey into the dark deep woods of dark deepness is fun, but the fight against the demon overlord was so peak. 

please continue this project is so fun.

also thank you for thinking in linux users and providing an exe, appreciate

congratulations!

Thanks man! Lol The demon overlord has taken the lives of our hero's siblings for similar crimes haha.

Also gotta represent our linux homies.

It means the world that you say it's your favorite, we put our all into this! <3 Don't forget to rate!

I would be so sad if this stayed a jam game. Just looking at the thumbnail with the screenshots next to it feels so official. The kid version of myself would have seen this game and had it as a must buy. I can't praise this game enough. For a jam entry that was only 10 days long? Totally exceeded my expectations. If I could gripe a bit, I would move the camera back a little because turning felt weird while fighting. But now I'm splitting hairs. My kind of game.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

It means so so much to hear something like this! Thank you! We would LOVE to make a full game of this! A full zelda-esque parody game would be so fun!

Thanks for the feedback aswell!

It means a lot, thank you! Don't forget to rate!

Developer(+2)

Thank you so much! We’ve been trying to think of what we would even do for a full version lmao. But this really warms my heart. Thank you for your feedback!

Submitted(+1)

The game’s pretty fun! I love Zelda games. I don’t know how you made the entire forest in such a short amount of time. I got so lost there

Developer

It's deep and dark... haha. Thank you so much for playin'!

Had a lot of fun playing this. It was quite a challenge, especially the boss fight. The rats were very annoying though. If I send one flying, I would lose track of them often

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Yeah they're fast! And they are vicious... Thank you so much for playin' It means the world.

Developer

Thank you for playing!  Don't forget to rate. <3

Damn, I don't usually play 3D games but damn, this was really fun. It gave me that legend of Zelda feel. To be honest I'm shocked y'all got this done in less than 10 days

Developer(+1)

haha awesome! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so much. Don't forget to rate! <3 From one dev to another, here's to making great games!

I had a lot of fun playing, though I developed a deep hatred towards rats. Great work fellow zelda game envoyer ! Would love to see more content :)

Developer (2 edits)

Thank you so much for playing! Every adventure starts with killing rats lol.

We might make this a full game, It would be a blast to keep working on it! <3
