10/10 game! Absolutely astounding that this was made in one week! also I found a bug where if you use the triple slash in the boss arena you can clip through the wall

Developer

Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it!

And thanks for reporting the bug too — I completely missed that one ! Looks like the triple slash can push the player through the arena wall, so I'll keep that in mind for the post-jam fixes!

The art in this game jam literally looks like hollow knight. ITS SOO GOOD. I also love the sword unlocking animation. In my opinion I dont really like story games so there was a bit too much dialogue for me but there is a skip feature so thats fine. Really really good job and this game shows how much a solo dev can truly do in 7 days. This game is so sso great and so sword combact is also really really good. Amazing job!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the visuals, animation, and combat!

And totally fair about the dialogue haha — this was my first time trying something this story-heavy, so I probably went a little overboard with it. That’s also why I made sure to include a skip option.
Really appreciate you playing and the kind words!

Submitted

Could you also rate my game?

Developer

Of course! I’ve already rated it!

This one was one of the lengthiest games I've played during this jam and it takes so much effort making such game in such a short period especially by a solo dev. Well done! Would be great with some polishing especially with enemies attack (really short warning time and dodging wasn't much of use) but still pretty solid game. Well done!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you so much! This was actually my first time trying both a more story-focused game and a side-scrolling action game, so even I thought I was a bit crazy when I came up with the idea haha.

I definitely agree about the combat too — I wanted to refine the enemy attacks and dodging more, but time was the biggest limitation this time.
Thanks a lot for playing and for the feedback!

Submitted

A very well-made game! The game was polished and the narration is also good. Combat feeling is great and the camera work too! I think that adding some visual feedback on the player while resting to heal and also I had some difficulty jumping across the rock pillars. 

Developer

Thank you so much! I definitely agree about the resting part — it could use more visual feedback to make it clearer that the player is healing.

And yeah, even I think the rock pillar section is a little difficult 😅
I wanted to give it a bit of a puzzle-like challenge, but I might have gotten a little too ambitious with it haha.
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback!

Submitted

Looks awesome! Great use of asset packs.

Developer

Thank you! Glad you liked it! I tried to make the assets work together as naturally as possible.

Submitted

I thought it looked visually great.

Developer

Thanks! Really glad you liked how it looked!

I really enjoyed the atmosphere, sound design, the idea, and the camera movement. Everything felt really well done. Great job!

Developer

The UI is on point and the dialogue is fun although maybe a little on the lengthy side without saying a ton. I wish reading it could be faster without skipping it! The visual style looks cool on the surface but a lot of sprites are inconsistent with others and there's some issues with pixel rendering in some places. The parry feels very good!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Honestly, this was my first time writing a story for a game, and I definitely felt that the dialogue could become a bit heavy during actual gameplay. That’s one of the main things I want to improve from this jam.

I also hadn’t paid enough attention to the consistency between the different sprites, so that’s a really useful point too.

Glad to hear the parry felt good! Thanks again for playing and for the detailed feedback!

Submitted

Stylish combat and satisfying effects with the screen shakes. The stealth mechanic is simple but smart. Might be too many guards tho. The pixel feels disjointed but that may be because multiple sources were used, but overall great game!

Developer

I’m really glad you liked the combat and effects — that’s definitely one of the areas I put the most focus into, so I’m especially happy to hear that.

The number of guards is a good point too, and the inconsistency between the pixel assets is something I’ve realized I should have paid more attention to.

Thanks again for playing and for the thoughtful feedback!
