The game is really fun, I love the character visuals when they speak, and the sound effects are good too. Great job

Had a bit of clunky controls when using controller where it'd be way too sensitive. Otherwise cool game

Really well made game, executed nicely, Visuals were top notch too! Though, I think more checkpoints could've been added lol

Nice music and visual. I also like this type of gameplay but couldn't finish it, unfortunately. But still an awesome game!

This is a nice rage game. I liked the dialogue of the demon, she got a couple chuckles out of me. I only wish there was an extra checkpoint after the door puzzle. Great job to the team!

Love the art and rage games are my thing! And also loved the (likely intentional) Ocarina of Time inspiration. Unfortunately, I got stuck after the first checkpoint with no idea on how to progress. But don't spoil it, I may get back to it later on! For now, good job.

While rage games are not really my cup of tea, this game is well put together! The visuals, writing, audio, and gameplay feel coherent and polished. Great work!

My running theory is that the hero is actually a doctor when he's not adventuring so that's why apples are evil. But seriously I really liked this game! The art style is very cute, I loved ragebaiting the "Fairy", and while as many have said the runbacks were a little rough, I think the game is short enough that it's not too much a problem! I think you guys did really well to nail the theme, and I think you guys made something really solid!

 I really like the take on the hero, might think of making it canon HAHA

Thank you so much for the kind words and for trying the game <3

A very cute platformer! It almost feels like a double-take on the theme when I can't even trust not trusting the fairy (rip sword).

I think you could get away with not adding more checkpoints if the character could move a little faster, or sprint while on the ground.

Thank you so much! That's exactly what we were hoping would happen,not trusting the choice to not trust haha

Santi MattiassiSubmitted18 days ago(+2)

The art is really good, and the fairy is awesome. The humor fits the theme super well. Am I the only one who expected the apple to help me at some point? xD

To polish things a bit, maybe more checkpoints — some parts get frustrating, but I do enjoy a good challenge. :D

Hi ! Like others said, as a not super-good precision player I would have appreciated more checkpoints.

I love the art-style, the cheap-tune goes well with it, as well as the plot (I too love the faerie-demon who's trolling us <3). Technically your game looks very clean to me so good job on that too !

I sadly don't have time today to play more and finish your game to see where the story goes but I think I'll give it another try tomorrow :p It's fun getting trapped by all the little things in the game and finding-out how everything works.

The art in this is super super good. The fairy is really cute and her laughing at you when you die is a good touch. I'm bad at these kinds of games but it was really fun!

What can I say? Smooth movement and I love the art style.

In the end I only stopped reading the fairy because everything kept killing me. Also I will add oner ore two checkpints.

*How did the demon end up there?

This is the first time I've seen it after testing bruh.

If it helps, it appeared when I died and stayed a bit at the checkpoint. The demon appeared from the left side moving towards the right.
