Good idea, but the game is impossible to finish...
Perhaps it would be better if the attack range was a bit longer...

Nice and colorful, the gameplay is fun but some balance work required. I feel like there's too many dudes, or too little damage done to the princess, or she walks too fast/ I walk too slow. I love the princesses five o'clock shadow :)

The game might be too hard. It's really hard to balance a game when you play it so much while developing! :)

There is also a bug with a tree disappearing but collision stays. I think it will only disappear if you succeed to kill the princess and restart..

Very beautiful game - but there are way to many little dudes. That, or please give me a gun :)

Great art work. I serious think I'm bullied by those villagers...lol

Nice :) The graphics are great. Would be better if there were less villagers, though

Nice idea, I like the art inspired by Zelda 3, but I'm having lots of issues being swarmed by the enemies, while not being able to defend myself. The attack range seems to be so short that I'm always hit, if I try to move while attacking. I'm not sure whether that's intentional, definitely something making the experience a bit worse.

Nice graphics, managed to finish it on second try.

It's good, I think it could use different weapons though, or increased attack area, because hitting the villagers is pretty difficult.

Aaaaaagh, I got her to like 1/20th of her health and then ran out of time. :( Maybe I'll try again later.

It's hard, but the only thing I would change is to add a little bit of reach to your attack. The number of little guys was fine, you just had to kite them a lot, which I found kinda fun.

Now I undertsand why my game seemed boring to you ;) Really good game, good difficulty for not beating it easily but for making the player eager to play again and bit the shit out of everybody! The graphics are realy good. As other people said, I think a good way to go further would be adding different attacks or weapons.

Awesome graphics, but there's way too many villagers, thus making the game too hard. That princess just keeps hiding behind them.

That was challenging! But also fun :)

Love your pixel art! I hope I can draw like you someday.
Can't finish her yet, too many guys... too many....

Pretty freaking hard! I like how it fit the theme by forcing me to chase a woman around and beat her to death, that's really uncomfortable.

nice graphics, but I don't get why he want to kill everyone, where killing bob will do?

Like the Zelda inspired graphics. I would like the attack to have more range, but it was fun.

Em... I don't like the story at all. That is: mine or no one's... phew... there are already way too many suckers in this world to make a game about it. It's polished, it's curious, but I'm glad I failed. We all deserve to fail on this game! :P (unless the ending is totally unexpected, that is)

Interesting idea. But the game is quite hard.

Excellent artwork! It is a little on the difficult side, but that makes beating it feel like more of an accomplishment. :) Some balancing or varying difficulty modes might work out well, but great work!

Looks like the entire village, no, the entire country is out to get Sam...poor guy, I feel like he's the victim, not the villain. :( I love the art, it's got that snes feel to it.

That's extremely polished! With a few special attacks and some difficulty tweaks this would be a real winner.

Okay so i think it's nearly impossible to survive, but it's a good idea and it's really nice !

Fun! Agreed about the difficulty, but I loved the toejam&earl-link soundtrack and the concise storyline :)

Nice graphics and shows promise. Like others I'm getting overwhelmed quickly making it impossible to win.

It looks good, plays good and is hard as hell. There are to many Bobs in this world.

Great graphic style and well done game design. Controls are a bit hard. I also have a QWERTZ keyboard ;-). Why not use mouse for targetting and WASD for movement?
