Very fun! Easy to understand but hard to win. It was kind of wierd how you ran fastest forward, even though that was the direction you where already running in. But maybe that was a design choice.

Oh my, that was so cool ! The graphics aren't the best but it clearly does the job. It reminds me of that dinosaur game that you can play when you have no Internet Connexion on Chrome XD

I swear when the knight charged me with his horse I screamed like "Wtf how can I dodge that ?" but then I got back up and... Ooooh that was cool :D Thanks a lot for this experience !

I like the abstraction level of the pixelart.

Love the minimalist artwork and animations. The Gameplay loop is fun but could use a little more depth for my liking :)

I love the transitions, great job using so few pixels. Best looking sprites under 30 pixels.

Your playable introduction with dialogue system is really nice too, although it took me a few tries to realize that I could only die - so tragic.

I couldn't make it to the third power-up. I think the difficulty could ramp up a little slower.

A nice, simple shoot-em-up, at the same time being deceptively hard... I'm ashamed to admit it took me, like, 10-15 minutes to finish the game XD Seems the strategy is to go for Power against the small mobs to kill them off faster, then go for speed when fighting the boss to properly avoid the crazy AoE balls... Then I lost my soul TwT All in all, nice entry. Love the pixel art, too!

I love the art and mood to this game, you did a great job with this. Some simple audio and SFX would really do this game justice. Very impressed, good work!

I dig this. Simple, but effective. Like the pixel art version of ancient cave drawings.

This was fun. Those fireballs seem to have quite the hitbox on them though...

Loved the art. I didn't seem to have a hitbox though (on firefox) as the arrows passed right through me! Very cool concept.

Wow, a whole cutscene, without any irony this is impressive. Besides some minor font/scale bugs, the game feels very solid. It's sad it looks sound, they usually enhance by a lot of gameplay. Your style reminds me very much of Downwell, which is also a very simplistic game with some good design behind. I personally don't see how you could improve your game at a core level, but new content is always a choice when you feel stuck (like unicorn comets from open space with lasers and rainbows). I hope you had fun, good luck.
