There are a lot of buttons though, including separate keys for holding items in two hands, which can get confusing. Also, walking on land seems a little tedious.
The art is awesome and the game is really great :]
Found a bug which got me stuck and didn't manage to complete the game, but it's worth playing it again! (screenshot of the bug: http://imgur.com/iEEfKuo, happened when attacking while a bit before going out of the water. Since I didn't have the impulse to get out of it, the animation played until I touched the ground, and then got stuck forever).
5 stars!
The Wopol is supposed to be rather clumsy on land, so the way he walks is somewhat intentional. A proper sprint would have probably made it less annoying, though.
I'm aware of some sticking bugs with the attack, but most of them can be broken out of by tapping jump or attack, I haven't seen the one in the posted screenshot. I'll look into it.
Also I'm aware there's a very poorly placed enemy towards the end that's annoying to get past. The enemies on the last area were put in last minute, and didn't get any testing before being posted.
Hope that helps clear a few things up. Enjoy the game!
Couldn't quite figure out how to drop the ball at the start, my guy just ended up chucking it about the place instead... once I got past that, really enjoyable little platformer.
