Love the sound effects!  I liked that the boss had different phases, wasn't expecting that

Princess’s voice? Adorable. Instant favorite. 💖
Also, the sound effects were genuinely great! 😁

As for the boss fight: I know hiding HP is a common design choice, but I’d still love to see some kind of feedback to show progress. Maybe changing attack patterns, distinct phases, or even a mid-fight intermission could help players feel more in control and invested.

Once I got the hang of the dodge timing, the fight felt good.

Overall, a cool little entry. Nicely done!

I liked how mantis had so many attack patterns. That was fun!

I like the art of the game. You done a good job on the voice overs of the characters.

I liked the background art in the boss fight area, the themed stained glass was really cool. Gave a lot of atmosphere. The sound effects were all fantastic and the voice acting was fun. A health bar for the boss would make it more engaging, I couldn't tell how close I was and it made it feel a little endless at times. Fun little game though! Impressive for a one person team.

I liked the taped together effect of the background and the coughing sounds when u got hurt 5/5 stars for audio lol

Loved the narration and the sound effects made by mouth, I thought it fit well with the visuals! It was fun to play, I only wished there was either a health bar for the boss or some visual indications of the damage inflicted over time. Great job!

That was awesome!!! The voice overs were amazing and the fight was fun! The sprites were also really cute and I loved the style. Great work!

A amazingly clever game. I loved the voice overs. Nice work!

Also, this is my first game jam. It would be cool if you rated and commented.  Any comments on the actual gamepage is double nice. :D /jam/brackeys-14/rate/3851809

I liked the idea and gameplay, but those default keyboard controls are whacky. It's not really problem since you can reassign them though. I liked the art style you went for.

You had me at the story and voice acting, great job!

The game is really very good, especially in terms of voice acting and visuals!

The voice acting is very nice and very funny.
Only sad thing is that I am not good enough to kill the mantis.
Keep up the great work.

I love the game! The art and voice acting are so unique and cool, and the way the story worked was epic. I would've liked a boss health bar so I could see how close I was cuz I never got the good ending. The sound effects were also neat, I've been wanting to make a game like that with sound effects just made with the mouth. Overall great game, keep up the good work :)

As the other comments have stated- the voiceover adds so much character! It's quite a sweet short game, though my only big note would be that the jump button wasn't really necessary as much as the dash and attack buttons. All in all though, well done! The final joke about the princess was so out of pocket that it got a chuckle out of me. Keep on!

this game is so cute! I love it! The art especially.

I loved the voiceover, added a real charm to the experience!

yknow what tennouttaten

Edit: I died twice. I only have a keyboard. But it was fun so oh well

Funny, not long game with real voice acting and boss fight! Nice one!

Fun! Loved the touch of a real voice acting, this brought to be much livelier!
