Broken Knight by Mikabrytu
In a financially broken kingdom, an unemployed knight needs to reach the castle to get a job, but in the path there's some taxes that need to be paid.
Your only way to pass through is sacrificing your gear.
CONTROLS: Mouse 1 -Attack, Mouse 2 - Defense, Space - Jump

* Graphic looks nice. But different styles of pixel art not make sense (Player created using much bigger pixels than background, for example).
* It's hard to tell where is a platform and where is just a peace of background. Usually in games background are much darker which helps to understand where I can jump.
* Strange physics. Character like to stuck everywhere.
* Some places do not have collision box. Like one of the platforms on the bridge.
But anyway, thanks for the game. I hope I'll see you in next jam.
The physics seemed inconsistent at times. I had a lot of trouble with the diagonal slope after the bridge. I couldn't jump all the way across, and I couldn't seem to jump once he started sliding down. It was also difficult to differentiate the platforms from the background. I would try to increase the contrast here and make it more apparent. Keep up the great work!
Some of the hit boxes were too big - I found myself hitting enemies when they were still pretty far from me.
I encountered a few bugs:
- after the first sacrifice, in the boss fight, I went off screen to the right and my character disappeared and I couldn't get it back :(
- during the final boss fight at one point I fell beneath the bottom floor and then the level restarted but I couldn't click on the "sacrifice shield" button
- There's a problem with the game camera - e.g., in the final boss, if I go left to the edge, the camera won't move left to show me where I'm going, but then it will suddenly move when I look back right at the boss
Anyway, I had a lot of fun, especially with the boss fights! (the final boss was really hard to beat :) )
My partner Mika had already participate of some gamejams but I've never had the guts to try because I feared the poor quality result of the game. But it was such a great experience and Ive learned so much that I cant wait be part of the next one <3
But congratulation for shipping your game. It's the main purpose of this jam and you did it! =)
Actually we are working in a stable version only with the boss battles and increasing the gears and enemies behaviors. Soon we will post some of it in our twitter accounts:
