Fun concept. I think with some balancing and tweaking to movements and speeds the game could play a little bit better. Great work on the medieval music. It really fit the vibe. Good job!

I'm glad you liked the concept. Due the time, creating the coins was my way to have the Hero "fighting back", because some of the ideas I came up with would take more time or the implementation didn't feel as intuitive enough to figure out in time. I also thought on some ideas to make the Hero's movement less predictable in some ways, like make them go in random directions sometimes, but I felt it would overcomplicate the game (at least, for this version), but are things that I'll probably think about it if I eventually work on expanding the game. Thanks for the feedback :)
Hey! cool idea! I like that it looks that the hero is running away from me because im throwing him firebals from the back haha
Is quite engaging to play and i think it has room for a lot of expansion with new mechanics and things of the sort :D

Villains Never WinOriginal idea. Needs some tuning in the coin collisions as they are way bigger than the coins themselves.

ReversedPlatformerPretty original idea and i can definitely see this turning into a proper game with more mechanics and interactables, like obstacles, different traps or even a level layout. Good job!

UnThrusty SwordThe colliders are not placed correctly, i m dying without touching any coins,
but the overall gameplay is nice and the concept is also good.
Nice Work.

Inversion Flappy BirdI'm glad you had fun. About the hitboxes, I think I know what may be happening and if I eventually expand on the concept I'll work on that. About the Hero going in an unexpected direction, if it's happen when they're close to the houses, so that's working as intended (they check how much room they have to dodge in the opposite direction, and if they're too close from the walls and your shot was too close from them, so they'll move further, so they go in the opposite direction to better dodge), but I should have warned about that or make a level to showcase this behaviour a bit better. Thanks for your feedback :)
Nice game, good job.
Sometimes I don't get why hero turn that way, especially near the "houses" (edge of a level). But maybe I was just aiming to close.

Helpful Nail (GMTK Game Jam)Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
About the turn the hero does near the houses, that's because if they doesn't have enough room to dodge in a direction for being too close from the houses, they'll try to dodge in the other direction, to add into the importance of knowing how close to aim each time, but I probably should warn about that or make a level that showcased that in a more explicit way, so I'll surely have to work on that.
This has unique gameplay, which is pretty cool. Feels like it could be a little more balanced and challenging, though I know that can be hard to achieve with the time limit. Good job on the game.

You're The DogThat's a very interesting idea, and it sounds like a cute game! It's amusing when enemies accidentally fall into traps without you even attacking him! great job!!

[GMTK-2023] Can I move?this is quite a unique take to the theme! i would suggest changing the fonts as it kinda hard to read

Don't Invade Our Space!Nice and cute game. I like the concept and levels flow. Great job!

Museum Night WatchCool concept. I finished all 5 levels and some of them were rather challenging. There was a good difficulty curve. My only feedback is that sometimes there was this bug where even if If I launched magic on the right side of the hero, he would go towards the explosion rather than away from it (Not a huge issue, just something that happened a few times). Overall, nice work, congratulations on finishing the jam.

Bad Bowlingthank you for your feedback, hope you had fun
about the bug, I think that part was intentional if it happen when the Hero was closer to the houses, at the edges of the map. I did it so if the hero didn't have enough space to deflect in that direction, they would go in the opposite one, also to make the players more aware of how close they try to aim for the hero, as they will move faster the closer you throw an explosion. In hindsight, I probably should give some hints that it happens, just to be safe, but still I'll give an eye to see if there are situations where the hero is going where they shouldn't, as it's likely I'll try expanding on the game after the jam. Again, thanks for your feedback and for playing <3
Super unique and interesting idea! I just wish there would be a way to reset the level quicker because when there are no traps left you just have to wait a really long time just to lose. Solid submission nonetheless!

(Not) HorrorVery interesting idea to not attack hero directly with your attacks. I wonder if it would be more challenging with the need to kill more heroes at once.
