I think the art still is really well done, especially how the foreground elements easy to distinguish and the beautiful style, I could be wrong but I feel like you spent more time on art then on gameplay, at the end of the day no jam game is perfect and I did enjoy the story and how the king doesn't threaten to cut your head when you're rude with him because he has no choice lol, good work","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":950986,"author_name":"LDJam user 336560","author_uid":"336560","epoch":1683058906,"text":"Nice color palette & graphics, but maybe the king's cart blends in with the background too much - took me a while until I noticed it was there :smile:.  \n\nIt was strange that the attack key was on z - I would either have to keep my right hand under my left hand using WASD, or be forced to play with the arrow keys.  \n\nThe flying level was definitely the most interesting for me as the cart moved and I was forced to move with it, maybe the cart could also move on the other levels (like drive horizontally).\n\nAlso with most enemies coming from above you it would be nice if you would have a vertical attack (like in Hollow Knight).","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":951224,"author_name":"ArturCosta","author_uid":"arturcosta","epoch":1683060229,"text":"My favorite game so far in the jam.

Indeed agree with other the different maps could have been a bit more different in terms of approaches, strategies to be played to keep some variance. The music-audio was great but did not fully matched the very fast style combat and-or the spooky theme. So for such a fast pace action game would have imagined loud sword swing, blood spill and body hit sounds. Or with this visual style instead of removing the particle effect after hit, maybe would have kept it red and left it all across the screen to make it look like a difficult fight arena.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":971477,"author_name":"philipprapp95","author_uid":"philipprapp95","epoch":1683401879,"text":"Cool game, I loved the graphics and the knockback when you hit an enemy.
