frustrating getting the sword at the beginning, but fun once you grab it :)

I like it, very original. Controls are awkward to start but quickly become easy :)

The controls are weird, but breaking those pots is so satisfying. Respect for the potatoes.

Funny idea, good soundtrack, and I like the story. :)

Nice aesthetic. I would have put the instructions somewhere in the game or on the deploy page. Helpful definition.

@Dark Acre Jack: done.

Controls are really frustrating to get used to, and trying to get that sword almost got me to quit trying, until I saw the comments. Otherwise, it's a great game!

I love the way as show your game graphics (minecraft sword was great). I do not very well understood the control and limits world, try to create your own characters in your next ludum dare!

berjah29 Apr 2013, 14:05

once you have the sword it's fun to use. good game! I'd keep playing if there were more levels.

I got it only after reading the instructions. Quite fun then, though short.

mostleyauthor29 Apr 2013, 14:09

@Rubi: I have created the characters myself. Even though I used existing game characters as an reference but that was intentional since it is part of the "story".

Controls were a bit difficult to get used to at first but once i got a hang of them it was a good game. Got the sword and smashed all the pots.

This concept is awesome, and the graphics are great. The controls really took me by surprise and I needed a while to get my head around them. I could see something awesome come out of this idea. Great aesthetic.

I remember playing the beta ! Good job !

Weird controls, but it is funny

I like that you included a Linux-version, but it doesn't seem to contain any executeables.

mostleyauthor2 May 2013, 20:43

@kvisle: it contains an executable but you probably need to chmod +x it

Nice game, i like the concept and the art! Well done :)

Controls feel weird at first but it's easy to get used to. Getting the sword at first was a bit of a pain :) great concept and graphics!

Awesome! Inspired by true events.

I remember the time where I roved around as Link and killed goombas... wait... :D

As the others mentioned, the controls are very strange and the invisible map border doesn't help here. But if you "got" it, it's a little, funny experience!
