Tight og Lækker pixel art!

Er helt enig. Stilen og grafikken flyder simpelthen perfekt sammen. Så er spørgsmålet om gameplay også følger godt med

ENGLIRZH: I totally agree. The style and graphics looks perfect together. The question is if the gameplay works too

Good work guys! it has a really nice feel. Solid controls and good enemies.

Without doubt this is a game aimed at the hardcore twich skill platformer fans. Sadly I am not part of that group. Not anymore anyways.
It's really haaaaard! (I hate you btw.)

I only managed to get the key on the first map of my first play session.

But still it's a good kind of hard. You keep coming back just a few more times to try to beat the map.

However.. personally. I would like to see a noob mode. With significant more health per life. And perhaps less enemy respawning.

cheers!

Thanx for C&C!

There's sure to be some minor tweaking for the full game.
It's hard to get that "horribly hard but addictive" feel for a platformer (maybe easier for HC rpg games).

Update: gameplay video

Like an old school game, it's pretty hard to master (and beat the demo)
Here's a nice playthrough of the first level (Warning: tactics spoilers!)

By the way.. I was a bit late to discover the dodge mechanic. certainly helps!
Now I can experience the pain an anguish of failing late on level 2.

*edit* level 3 now.

But to other people out there.. give it a spin! It's great!

Awesome guys!
I can see I made your shipping hiscore list. Thanks! I'll put you guys in my upcoming game.

Haven't given it a lot of time yet. But the difficulty has been taken a notch down. That's a good thing. Means I have a chance to explore all the work you put in the later levels.
Love how you cater to each map.
I'm a little sad to see the flame sword Angel guarding the health pick up at level 2 go. That encounter was a really good tension point. Optionally having to risking life and limbs to get that extra health.

And in contrast to earlier statements.. It's seems I am still in the target group for twitch based hardcore platformers.

Oh and get your game out there on Desura + Steam + GOG. I'm sure it will find an audience.

Really cool.

I really like the graphics and sound, I still haven't been able to complete the first level even though I have player an earlier version.
I have had the opposite realization of Jonaz, that perhaps I am not such a hardcore platformer player as I would like to think.
I still plan on completing the first level one day!
