The only feed back I can give this game its... "its awesome".
Polished, a simple yet touching narrative, great pixel art. The mechanics were simple to grasp and the game was responsive. The demons where awesome, the pitchfork mechanic was unexpected and added a new level of tactics to the game. I would add one thing and one thing only... I would add an upper slash and a down slash. The eye monster was hard to fight because he could attack you from above and It felt weird, because all the enemies atack you from the sides except that one.
But there is not much to say, this game its amazingly crafted. Well done!
The artstyle of the game works well, it looks aesthetically pleasing and allows for quick communication of information to the player, which makes gameplay much easier. I really enjoyed figuring out how to fight each enemy, with the pitchfork demons being my favorite to fight. There were some situations where I felt like I should either be doing more damage, particularly against the sword-weilders, or that I should have been able to swing the sword above and below my character, like when fighting the eye-worm enemies. Overall, I can say I really enjoyed playing it!
Thanks for your thoughtful feedback! The demons are my favorites to fight as well. I agree, not being able to swing up or down makes fighting the eye-worms more tricky. I wonder if a having a wider swing arc would help with that? Thanks for playing!
Always love seing a PICO-8 game, particularly when they're so well made. Really like how each enemy requires their own strategy and countering a demon just feels so good.
this is the first game i've tried today. nice tune and nice timing on the robed one's attacks. it would be so dope for some big monsters to pop out of that river. i didnt get so very far so maybe they do. fun like an old atari game

Thank you! We spent a lot of effort polishing. You can thank @akbiggs for the excellent enemy design!
