First of all congratz on your first game! The game in general is nice, obviously you put some effort in art and effects which works well - audio too. I just wish you had used theme a bit more - what you have in a form of soul sacrifice mechanics is great but in your case you could just do kill enemies to open doors. Maybe more usage of souls so you have to balance properly to get past the enemies and yet keep just enough souls to trigger doors and such?

Don't take this the harsh way, I know 48 hours isn't enough to do everything properly, it's just a food for thoughts!

In any case, well done! The boss caused me some problems for sure ;)

@blodyavenger thanks for the feedback! I spend way too much on the art (like, half of my time), and rest on the "engine", and because of that I didn't really have enough time to implement more mechanics for the souls. Next LD, I'll focus more on gameplay :)

Cool game I'm like you pixel art a lot, also sees a boss in such small game was pretty cool. Best game what I see so far.

Haha, love the dagger mechanic, nice visual effect. Reminds me a little of the 80s games like Roland in the Caves for some reason.

A really cool game, who is Mario? Seppo is the only platformer we need! Like others said, it was a really solid game with the graphics and and voice lines. And even boss with patterns and a winning condition. The only thing maybe lacking is the sacrifice mechanic but that's minor. Good job!

Generally fun game, and nice particles effects :)

Okay that was pretty fun. Graphics were perfect, don't change a thing. Audio sounded really cool to me, it sounded like you used a voice modulator to make the Boss sound really creepy, nice job on that. Only thing I really had a problem with was the boss, it seemed like you couldn't deflect his fireballs even if I hid behind a wall, so I gave up on that part. Otherwise it was a great game, good job!

I liked this. Cute graphics, decent sounds, interesting platforming. Kinda reminded me of keen a bit. I beat it!

that boss fight handed me my ass until i realized the winning strategy was standing right in his face to stab him

would play again

Simple and effective. It was interesting and fun to avoid the pitfalls. I enjoyed your nice entry.

Fun game! The graphics are nice, congrats on that!

Your game is fairly classic, but I think it is a bit too slow? Sometimes you walk for a bit too long before reaching the next enemy/platform, and sometimes you have to wait several seconds doing nothing until a moving platform comes along.

Other than that, it's really fine. The boss fight is a bit repetitive but it's allright. Overall, I would have loved to have some music (and why do the knifes sound like laser beam when you throw them? ^^) but it's a fun game. Congrats!

nice entry. Thank you
