Solid for a game made in a short time!

The in game tutorial is pretty nice, though as said by others too the game is quite difficult and not forgiving.
But I think difficult games were quite frequent on gameboy so you could say it's in the theme!!
Also the world is quite big, I spent a lot of time looking around for enemies, sadly I couldn't finish or find a shop.

I think the combat gameplay is missing something , trying to run from ennemies while having to shoot at them from the front of your ship makes it very unforgiving and a bit frustrating, but maybe it get fixed by upgrades later in the game.
If I could give a suggestion maybe since the first ennemies are trying to ram the player, making them a bit smaller and less tanky would make the first few encounters more manageable and rewarding. 
Then gives the player a way to upgrade and face them with more challenging foes.

Too bad for the sounds as it could have make the experience more enjoyable.
Also maybe make the press space at the end restart instead of quit would have been a big plus.

Good work!

Nice simple little platformer!
Really liked the character design and overall graphics, it does have a solid gameboy vibe for me.
I had a hard time figuring the controls on keyboard, especially start and interact, as I didn't see any instructions in game or on the page but maybe I missed them.
Too bad for the sound as it could have overhauled the experience in my opinion, even simple ones for the jump and picking up the puzzle pieces.

Still all in all a solid game! Congratz!

Hello everyone!

Today I'm releasing the first patch for Grimwald, this patch is mostly here to fix bugs, Upgrade the UI and bring some quality of life improvement to the game.

Hello everyone! Today is the day I decided to release my first game made from scratch and almost entirely by myself. The game is still a prototype and I hope that I'll be able to make it as good and enjoyable as possible. I thank everyone that'll play the game and invite you to give feedbacks if you wish to. 

I hope you'll be looking forward to see more about the world of Grimwald!
