In my second Ludum Dare Game, you play as a mighty knight with his trusty companion. Actually it has proven as so useful, that the knight decided to stop bearing arms and just let his Psy-Owl do all the dirty work.
Guide the knight through the tower and try to collect all seven blue lights! (I didn't get to make a score counter, but will probably add it post-mortem) Have fun!
Controls: Left Joystick or A/D: move the knight
Owl Controls: A-Button or right: attack enemy in range B-Button or left: destroy psi-block in range X-Button or down: return to the knight / collect blue bonus Y-Button or up: lift the knight up
Your graphics are positively adorable! I am having a bit of an issue with the controls though. You should definitely keep working on this though, it has potential to be an awesome little game!
Nice graphics and neat idea. I had a companion weapon idea too, but with an overhead view instead of a side view.
Having a control reference on the Ludum Dare entry page might be useful since I promptly forgot the controls once I started playing and had to figure them out by experimentation.
Unfortunately especially without checkpoints, the game was hard for me since the owl powers seem very slow to trigger, and movement is also slow.
If this is a compo entry, shouldn't there be a source link? (perhaps a dropbox zip)
Also I agree with the other comment(s) that if you tighten up the controls and polish this, it could be a neat full game! Maybe start with only one or two powers, and get more as the game goes on.

The gameplay is very original and the graphics are nice though
Great work!
