Really nice game, it ended jsut way too sooner than I would have liked :-)
Also you better play the download version, as I played the web version for a short bit and the gamer jsut... stopped and froze.
might be my browser but the download version didnt show that problem
Haven't played much yet, but there's a bug where pressing e while trying to open a locked door makes the dialog play twice.
Very fun game. I love the graphics. Great job!
Thanks so much for playing my game! Getting feedback like this and actually being able to see how a player approaches each task is massively beneficial! There are quite a few things that need to be addressed in a post-jam update I think... You were exactly right in that there is a double-jump ability (somewhere in the Blood Mountains)... also, the little yellow "tears" denote stamina, that is consumed when you dodge (which you didn't really use!). Dodging also allows you to roll through enemies, meaning you get less stuck ;)
The best part of a fun game like this is dying just sets you back to the start of the screen. It was super fun to play.
Thanks for playing!
I think I might've broken the game...
I was just pressing space really quickly and this happened lol
I can move around, but the sword didn't spawn and I can't progress. RESET TIME! WOO!
I can send a video your way if you want me to. Just hit me up!
EDIT: I found a way to get on top of the map!
You just gotta jump off the wall, then air jump back onto the smaller part of the wall, then up you go!
Edit2: You can climb over there and bypass most of the levels to get the key... Whoops.
That's an amazing find! I tried to playtest as much as I could to find stuff like that, but clearly failed! I should have employed you as a tester!! Well done :D
On the note of the intro - not sure why it did that, will have to see if I can reproduce it... I tended to spam SPACE a lot in testing too and didn't hit that problem, so maybe it was an HTML thing?
I downloaded the windows version, so it couldn't have been that.
Interesting... To be fair I wasn't able to test that version!
