I almost wasn't even able to finish this version (the story, specially, was really rushed).\r\rThat was supposed to be only the intro to the game. You'd later have to explore the prince's castle in search of items. Each one would unlock another piece of the story, that you would have to put together at the end of the game... Unfortunately, I didn't have much time.\r\rI'll think about the zoom, but, for now, I think that it actually needs more contrast between the prince and its attack and the background.\r\rThanks for the comment! =D"},{"author_name":"nihilaleph","author_uid":"49665","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 2:47am","epoch":1461206520,"text":"Nice concept! Interesting how you applied Beauty and the Beast to this theme!\rGame was simple enough, but the graphics and sound are great! I would really like to see the rest of the story!\rIt was also quite hard, since it's basically one hit kill, but I know I were supposed to lose there xp\r\rAnyway, great entry!"},{"author_name":"razieliyo","author_uid":"44038","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 3:00pm","epoch":1461250500,"text":"Loved it!"},{"author_name":"fafastudio","author_uid":"51600","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 3:01pm","epoch":1461250560,"text":"Graphics and audio are pretty cool, would have prefer bigger characters but not bad though ! \r\rThe difficulty beat me !"},{"author_name":"madk","author_uid":"1540","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 11:02pm","epoch":1461279420,"text":"It's a lovely start, and I especially liked your art, but sadly not much of a game so far."},{"author_name":"GFM","author_uid":"7375","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 1:02am","epoch":1461286620,"text":"Thanks a lot for the comments! =D"},{"author_name":"Yword","author_uid":"26150","time":"Apr 23, 2016 @ 4:47am","epoch":1461386520,"text":"Interesting story and nice music!
