The level, the characters, and the mechanics are very well done, it's super entertaining and visual, congratulations.
This game was actually really cool, the art and gameplay was really clean for a platfomer
If you could take a look at my game too it would mean a lot :)
Great game, it easily feels like one of those browser games I would have played when I was a kid.
I made a video of your game! It's at the 11:04 mark of this video.
Awesome work on the art and sound! One of my favorite platformers in the jam! I left you a rating. Please give our game jam game a play if you have a minute.
Great puzzle platformer! The dragon also looks pretty cool despite it not having wings.
Top notch game I loved the lighting effect on the environment the characters were great and game play intuitive :)
🌟 Excited to be among the first reviewers! The concept looks great, and the animations has such a satisfying impact—can’t wait to see the magic of future updates. ✨
All the best!
The gameplay is very fluent and easy to undertand great job.
Excellent platform game, the character design, especially the dog, is wonderful... Incredible!
Nice game, one of the few platformers here that I’ve played so far that’s actually worth playing. Just one bug to report: when you find the dragon companion and head toward the lava as the knight, a message appears saying you’re immune to lava. But that’s obviously not true—the dragon is the one that’s immune.
Thank you for the review! One small thing, that is actually not a bug! Any message in quotation marks is the hound talking to the knight. So the knight is actually listening to him say that. It's like when you first meet the hound, you walk towards him as the knight, but the messages appear. But you are right, it should be more clear! Like a picture of the hound next to the message so you know he is talking.
Nice game. Really fun platformer/puzzle game. I will have to hold my rating for the assets back a bit, since you got them from external sources. Other than that, great game.
Really good job, very clever. Got all the way to the end, and there's a lot of clever level design in here. Love the theme implementation!
I really appreciate the very kind words
Edited :Really creative concept! Controlling both the knight and the lava beast to solve puzzles is a great idea, and the assets are used really well.
High rating on the use of the gamejam theme :D

Thank you! Do you mind a little expansion on the what you described as places that needed pixel perfect placement? I only ask this because I tried to make the hitboxes in favor of the player, for example, you can walk a little into the lava before dying and walk a little off ledges before falling, and the lava drops can touch the player a little before dying.
Yes, the part where you need to control the beast and move really close to the spike floor, and use the knight to remove the item and start the lava to cross.
Died multiples times there using the beast trying to move slowly guessing when the spike hit box gonna hit the beast.
Ahh ok, I think I understand now, thank you! Earlier, the beast says your armor is strong enough to walk on spikes. You do not need the beast near the spikes. As the knight, you can walk across them to jump up to the crystal from the platform.
Oh i see i miss that, will try it again. And changed my rating based on that 😁👌
just finished replaying the game :D adjusted my ratings, thanks for that. or also use that as a reminder, that some player doesn’t really pay attention to the text in the game and just rely on previous gaming experiences.
By the way goodjob again on the game~
Great game, I really enjoyed the story and the platforming.
It had a similarity to part of my game, but I won't tell you what and spoil it.

I will also check out your game, I'm glad you didn't give any spoilers ;)
Thank you! That is amazing you recorded a video.
