It was a great game, great experience, it was really interesting moving with the wasd and hiting with the arrow keys, really smooth. I loved the graphics. The gameplay was really unique and enjoyable. Excellent work!!

Pretty solid entry. Nice animations. Unique enemies. Cool sounds. The only thing that looks weird is a lock right in the grass ;p I would suggest replacing it with some kind of gold chest, mb even with a neat animation :D

Ha! I reached level 10. Then i got surrounded by a bunch of soldiers with spears, and we fought to death, but they stroke me with the final hit, and i died... Cool game, this could turn i good polished game.

Graphics are great! The mechanic was cool, but I think more control would have made the game more fun. It felt repetitive after a couple rounds, either mashing shield to knock out the enemy or to run away.

Nice polished game that was fun to play! I died quite a lot in nasty situations though, so restarting all over for those times was a bit annoying.
