The combat was basic but engaging--but the real meat was in the traversal mechanics.
Movement was responsive and intuitive, and the movement upgrades felt really nice to play with. Plus--this being a metroidvania--each opened up new areas.
The art was retro in a way that I found pleasing--especially in the 3D-rendered (or maybe stop-motion) enemies.
In terms of duration, the game was short--but in that, didn't outstay its welcome.
My only real complaint is that I found the audio effects to be a bit harsh at times.
But even that was nowhere near enough to spoil what was otherwise a really good time. ^_^
Just beat the game, and I really like it! I wasn’t expecting the fast and snappy movement or the platforming focus, but it feels pretty darn good to control, and all the upgrades really add to it! Super well done!
Honestly a really good little game on its own and definitely a good model for a longer project. I can picture it with a shield and blocking stamina, and I like that image.
This was a really cool little demo, I've enjoyed a number of Warkus' games so I've been wanting to try this one out. It's super short but I loved it for what it was. Made a little video of my playthrough :)
Please, expand on this game! I really loved it! ( From the artstyle to the environments, upgrades, battles, ecc ) I would totally pay for a longer version/full release of it. Thank you very much for making it. I had an absolute blast playing it.
What a great game! Some things I appreciate about it:
Immediate player control
Clear progression and objectives
The movement feels great! I love just jumping around!
Combat feels tense and ties into mechanics
Colorful, atmospheric graphics that aren't in-your-face about being low-res and retro
Linux support
These are the building blocks that pretty much every fun game nails--and what a sense of style it has too! Pretty rough around the edges, but extremely solid work for what it is.
It feels and looks amazing, but it was kinda disappointing not having any secrets in a map that felt very open and easy to explote with the jump boost's, idk if u plan on expanding the game, it could be actually great. Having different zones, buildings, biomes, you got the plataforming action right, why not make a full game?

really smooth controls, and beautiful atmosphere and music as always.
Lovely little game, great atmosphere and aesthetic. Those mages are quite challenging!
Nice little experience, nice music.
I loved this game! I just wanted more!!! The music was great, and it created a great atmosphere. I want more games like this.
Very fun little game! The movement feels very good.
I can't express how good this game is. Like really. I wanted to make something similar for long time.
Now I'm trying to try creating something like this. Thank you!
This was a really fun little mini-metroidvania!

LOOOOOOOOOOVE the snappy combat and movement
would love to see a longer version one day ♥
good lil metroid dungeon crawler
Amazing little game! I'm begging for more!

Really good but short game. Appreciatte the effort. Thank you it was fun.
love the vibes and art choices and music etc. really fun!
This was tremendously good. I hope you plan to expand on this into a longer experience. You should change NOTHING. Thank you!
Won't open for me :(
really like this one, short, cool skeletons an really cool gameplay
Hough! Hough! Hough! Gaah! Gaah! :^)
unplayable mouse sensitivity
Even with the settings that let you adjust it?
adjusting sensitivity doesn't change anything.
The same.
Is an amazing game. Combining Firt Person with metroidvania is a very good proposal
tiny and fun!
Looks cool!
How do you make graphics like this? Can you make a tutorial or even release source code and assets?
I'm interested in creating a game similar to King's Field but I've only made small 2D games before and this has exactly the look I'm going for.
Solid short game ->
Awesome short game, would play more lol
Full Play NO Commentary
Loved it!!!!

Fun little game. Wouldn't mind seeing a larger one in a similar style.
This is a solid game. Gameplay, level design and aesthetic are on point. Wish it was a full game!
short but its really nice!

good game but it will sometimes freeze
for a minute
Was fun to try it out! :)
Here is my gameplay if you want to take a look.

I absolutely agree, I went back just to see if there was lol
Really good game, you did it again, can't wait to till the next project!
Great game, Warkus! I love your work!
Would love to see this expanded, a bit sad its so short, lots of promise here!
That was fun :)
Absolutely wonderful aesthetic. Sad that it was so short; I'd love to see this expanded upon.
