The controls were really satisfying, but I would've liked it if you could be holding a directional key and then jump without having to let go. But the game was still cute and fun. Killing enemies was satisfying. However I would like if you could just walk up one block heights, as there were points where it was difficult to move forward."},{"author_name":"DragonZBW (SparkLight Games)","author_uid":"85560","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 9:41pm","epoch":1461101760,"text":"Fun with nice art! The boss is a little hard though since he moves at the same speed, if not faster than you, so you have to use the sword to dash a lot"},{"author_name":"LudumAnthony","author_uid":"89892","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 12:29am","epoch":1461111840,"text":"Such a short level but was pretty fun.

The sticking to walls thing sometimes messed up jumping over small stair-step obstacles, which was annoying at first, but after employing some creative wall jumps, I appreciated it and learned to time the stair jumps better to avoid the stickiness.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It was pretty fun, though maybe a bit too ambitious for a game jam, interested to see what you do with it."},{"author_name":"El Cabaro","author_uid":"22640","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 1:23am","epoch":1461287880,"text":"Hey, I beat it. Cool. I actually had luck just sprinting through the (actually very large!) map and ignoring the enemies since they couldn't really hurt me that much as I light-sped through. Cool game, but it did chew high amounts of CPU as I played- Probably a very tight while loop which would account for the incredible speed at which I ran as well."},{"author_name":"BlennosoftGames","author_uid":"8308","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 2:27am","epoch":1461291720,"text":"Haha, I beat the boss, do some exploring, start falling off a cliff thinking I'm gonna die and then, &quot;You beat the game&quot;! :P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked how the different weapons affected your speed and jump height as well as your attacking, that was a nice touch of detail!

You should design a game entirely around that feature.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's pretty easy to tell that you made this game in panic.  A lot of features I would consider to be expected are missing, including invincibility frames, enemy knockback, juice (see Juice it or Lose it on Youtube if you haven't seen it already), not being able to stick on walls, etc.  But there was certain charm in the game's broken state."},{"author_name":"DRGY","author_uid":"82275","time":"Apr 27, 2016 @ 12:28pm","epoch":1461759780,"text":"Fun to play!"},{"author_name":"Odyssey","author_uid":"58620","time":"Apr 30, 2016 @ 3:34am","epoch":1461986940,"text":"Pretty fun, loved the controls!!"},{"author_name":"justacookie","author_uid":"66320","time":"Apr 30, 2016 @ 2:14pm","epoch":1462025340,"text":"i liked this game especially for its fast gameplay and that the weapons required different tactics, for example you could not jump over enemies with the heavy hammer, but could run and dodge enemies with the light bow. the level system was nice because it added a sense of progress, although i believe this will play a bigger part in the updated version that i didnt play yet. after finishing this first level, i found myself wall climbing around for a while and i could really see this becoming a fast paced action platformer. thanks for this submission :)"},{"author_name":"emmelineprufrock","author_uid":"22454","time":"May 2, 2016 @ 1:35am","epoch":1462152600,"text":"Lots of fun, even if it's relatively simple.
