Funny story! Game feels good, although a little slow (mostly the walking speed and the fade-out transitions between scenes). The mechanic with holding the button for strafing doesn't seem too useful and sometimes attacks don't come out right, it seems because my presses are detected as holds? Otherwise quite nice.

We banished Oinkus into the dark void.
The game was very cool, the staging is great, the game controls well, both boss fights are cool and it could work as is on a console.
Thanks for sharing!
Very much liked this one! Well done. Felt super nostalgic and fit the NES style well.
Quite a lovely RPG!
Fun story, enjoyed how it developed.
The level transition effect was nicely implemented and felt in place with the kind of stuff that'd be on the system.
hard to deal with the boss attacks without getting hit by stray shots, but the generous drops of health refilling potions from the enemies made it perfectly manageable.
All in all, a solid little adventure~
Adorable top down RPG! I really did enjoy the portrait and do wish the portrait art more accurately reflected the characters on screen. The witch was challenging enough and the whole experience is super cute! I do wish that the character aiming was a little less clunky as time it felt super hard to hit my target. Awesome Job!
This was a very pleasant experience! The theming and story of the pig curse really shined. I was excited once I found my rhythm of getting behind cover and taking out adds. Thank you!
A very solid, fun game with a captivating story and idea, but I think I got the bad ending; I couldn't beat the final boss. I would have loved to have more chances to try, or maybe he died and I didn't notice.
This game is very charming! I love the witty character interactions and I enjoy the ability to strafe while locking the angle of attack. I liked the lighting effect when entering and exiting areas, and the music was great! I felt like the skeleton spawns during the witch battle were a bit frustrating, and the witch fight felt a bit harder than the last fight. Overall very fun!
- walking speed seemed too slow in the beginning
- love the music!
- love the fading between screens & for the pause screen
- cool how the camera pans ahead in some areas
- some minor spelling errors, not a big deal
- I enjoyed the boss fights and appreciated being able to respawn right at the boss fight since it was too hard to beat the first time around.
- Spamming the attack button seems broken... like it would look like I was attacking but didn't complete the attack.
- Floating health bottles were really cool
- Nice story and overall design. Good work!
Fun premise! Love the portrait art. The game could have used a bit more proofreading, but it is not a dealbreaker
