Team Cherry's entry for the Ludum Dare Game Jam 27!

Team Cherry:

Rohan Fraser

The theme of this jam was 10 Seconds. So we present to you Hungry Knight, a determined little adventurer with a big appetite. Fight your way through a strange wasteland, keep yourself fed every ten seconds, and accomplish a miracle. Others may perish at your hand, but such is the remorselessness of this world.

A challenging action game. It's hard, but you can do it! Be brave.

Music is from here: http://incompetech.com/music/

Nice!... Beautiful mood, easy to grasp concept. Technically: would have liked faster frame-rate, and seemed to be some z-order rendering issues. I look forward to and encourage further development. Cheers.

Nice atmosphere. But it's barely unplayable. Stencyl is like an old fat man: it's slow and makes things complicated without a real reason. Throw it away! ;)

Fantastic visuals! The big boss kept getting me but I cleared the island a few times otherwise...

I LOVE the visuals in this game.
The characters look cool and unique, and the statues in the scenery really add to the feel of the game.
Very nice work!

Lovely game. I got some pretty low FPS (around 17 or so) but it was still playable, you may want to check that out for future games.

Such a polished entry. Gameplay wise it's not terribly deep or fancy, but the animation makes both attacking and dashing so satisfying, this is still lots of fun. Brilliant job!

Beautiful game with a great mood. It did run a bit slow on my computer. Very solid and polished entry otherwise :)

Fantastic art and audio. Was really looking forward to it but on OSX/Chrome it was far too slow to play or enjoy. Sorry.

Love the artistic aspects (visuals, music), they're nice and really polished. Frame rate issues detract a bit from the fun, though. If you manage to solve that the game will improve dramatically. Despite this, great job!! =D

loved the art, the music and the use of theme. However, I couldn't get to enjoy it completely due to slowness issues.

Awesome style. Reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus and SMB2.

This game looks amazing, and I think it plays really well, however the framerate and performance issues kind of hindered my enjoyment. It looks so good that I kept playing anyways though!

I just love the art style!
