My biggest problem with the game is that you use 'Thy' as old-timely equivalent of You. However, the correct word is 'Thee.' 'Thy' translates to 'Your'.

Thank you guys for your positive comments, as they really cheered up the team. As we were running out of time, due to some reallife problems, we were doing our entry in a rush, so many features planned were not implented, or were but in a very limited way. So our mood was really depresive after the submit, as we feared there will be just not enough content for the game to be enjoyable, and, including the fact The Castle was really unpolished due to the lack of time. But now we are extremely glad we could bring you some nice experience. Thank you, dear commentators for your comments, as they made us feel not so guilty for publishing The Castle, the game, which development was a real struggle.\r\rSincerely yours.\rNakolenke team."},{"author_name":"team_disposable","author_uid":"91303","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 10:19pm","epoch":1461276840,"text":"Very atmospheric and lovely pixel tiles you've drawn.

Also, I'm not really a fan of platforming in general, and especially in 3D in first person perspective when I can't even see where my feet are (I had to make some jump by staring at the ground to make sure I time it right). ^^'\r\rAside from that, it seems like the castle really wants to sound like speaking in Shakespearean English, but doesn't really know how (given the omnipresent "thy", even though there should be some declension, and if I'm not mistaken the original form is "thou").\r\rOverall not a bad entry. ^^'"},{"author_name":"ijona","author_uid":"89781","time":"Apr 27, 2016 @ 11:54pm","epoch":1461800940,"text":"Great!
