I apoligise in advance but I will be unable to respond to any comments after tmrw bc of school stuff

Submitted

Loved it a lot! Took me a bit to get used to but it's like Getting Over It vibes and I'm all here for it!! I love the illustration LOL made me laugh as soon as I started the game

Developer(+1)

thank you very much

Submitted

Super interesting mechanics! I do agree with some of the others that the controls are a bit difficult to grasp, and the game would've benefited from a tutorial of some sort. Otherwise, really cool!

Developer

Ye I’ve gotten that feedback alot, thanks for playing

Submitted

What a creative game you got here. This has some potential. The controls were a little bit difficult to get used to, but great game overall. Well done!

Developer

Ye I agree, it could have a tutorial

Submitted

Hey, good job! I love how you came up with something totally unique. Wish there's a good tutorial as it took me a while to get started.

Developer

ye sorry

Interesting theme, I died several times but I liked it

Submitted

I love that you came up w an entirely new movement mechanic (or, at least, I hadn't encountered it before). I do agree w someone in the comments that a little tutorial would be nice just to get the hang of it but also, we had two weeks so all good. Pretty charming game really, the aesthetics and the music were nice, the mechanics unique and fun and the levels creative. Really solid entry!

Developer

TY

I found the control scheme a little unusual at first (I think a more gentle introduction with a tutorial would help a lot), but once i got the hang of it i really enjoyed it! I think the subject matter is very charming. 

Developer

ye sorry, I ran out of time to add a tutorial

Submitted

Most people think its the sword the knight prizes most, but this dev knows it is truly his trusty shield.  

Developer

Thanks : D

Submitted

an unusual idea with the controls, it took me a while to get used to it, but the overall concept is good! I found the menu splash screen amusing

Developer

Glad u liked it

Submitted

Quite a creative game! I loved the unique mechanic with the shield, it reminded me of Getting over It.

Developer

Ye, it was sorta inspired by getting over it in a sense

Developer

thanks for playing

Submitted

As discussed in Discord, there's a bit of a glitch with the scoreboard when first submitting your scores. I quite like the strategy you can play into with the abilities on different levels. Overall a solid submission!

Developer

Thanks ye there's that issue

Submitted

Really like the duo vibe, the whole knight + shield idea is charming and stands out. The presentation is simple but works well together. Feel free to swing by my game too

Developer

I will now

Submitted(+1)

So dificult platafformer bro! I can not pass, I believe that mygame was dificult but now...

Developer

I'm sorry ;( I thought the abilities made it easier

Submitted

Very difficult game ngl, but still very fun and addicting good job!

Developer

Thanks

Submitted

wow pretty creative idea, I remember seeing the game in it's development but it felt so much more fun to play, the controls reminded me a bit of getting over it but less ragey. I like playing every single level. 

if you want something just as difficult but a completely different genre try out JANTA-9

Developer

I'll play your game now!

Submitted

this game was so much fun, it made me rage a bit sometimes bcuz he moved wherever he wanted and dashed backwards but once i got used to it it was pretty fun. Pretty good game overall!

Developer(+1)

Nice, glad u had fun, i'm gonna play ur game now, right after janta

Submitted

This game is really fun and interesting, but web version + multi-monitor made me ragequit.

Developer

Oh... well at least it was fun? Maybe?

Submitted (1 edit)

I could see this becoming a super fun rage game! Cool mechanics with the shield bouncing. Nice gojo reference. The pause menu animation is slick. Keep at it!

One thing is I would like to be able to read the skills by mousing over them rather than having to click them which equips them as well. Just makes the loadout part a bit tedious. Also, I might even think a game like this doesn't need any skills to use after all. I think the bouncing mechanic would be enough as a rage game.

Developer

Ye true, but when playtesting my friends raged to much so the abilities are there to make it less frustrating and allow for some more creative levels. 

Thanks for playing tho

Submitted

Loving the title screen (really funny ngl lmaoooo) and mechanics. This is a fun platformer! I'd like to see a bit more tie to the theme of invincibility aside from the shield.

Great job!

Thanks for playing

Submitted

Developer
