Life as an errand boy, forever! That's the curse placed on Errand Boy as he is somehow transported into a mean king's castle! Will he be stuck like that forever or will he find a way to break the curse?

Hello! This is my Ludum Dare 47 submission. This is my first game jam and it's been a thrill, albeit pretty tiring being solo. Since this is my first game jam, I may have bitten off more than I can chew when deciding my game so this might be broken in some places. Regardless, I put tons of effort into it and hope you enjoy it!plains.pngcastle.png

This is amazing progress for a single person! No need to hide your accomplishment.

The art and music are nice, the gameplay feels a bit jerky but smooth enough.

I really liked the boss fight against the evil king.

I like the graphics, and the music. I found it a bit buggy though... sometimes objects wouldn't respawn, and I was unable to go back outside if I went into the castle straight away.

Didn't manage to kill the king yet. I'll try again in a while!
Overall good concept, music feels annoying after a while but maybe it's just me

Nice controls and graphics, and I really like the tutorial drawn on the ground! I'm really bad at fighting and dodging though, so I just die all the time.

Wow un jeu avec un combat de boss haha! J'ai beaucoup ri quand j'ai vu comment briser la loop.
Well done ^^

Hahahhahaha accidentally killed the boss on my first run without meaning to! Love it xD getting the cookie was harder than the boss, so same balancing to be learned there. But for your first jam, cracking game! Gratz

Good job with the game! One small comment, if you leave the castle from the inside by going left you should end up on the left side of it outside.
