I like how the monsters launch the apples so that there is more of a reason to get closer to them and not avoid them altogether. The jazzy music actually fits really well with this so I like that.  \n  \nTo improve, I'd say adding either a health bar or checkpoints would be nice. It gets frustrating having to start over again and although this is seen a lot in the roguelike genre, the demographic for this type of game would typically be younger and the difficulty should probably be eased as such. Also, I see that you added a restart buttpn but it's so small I missed it the first few refreshes! :smile: \n  \nBut it's very original and I like that.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ROBOWARRIOR1982","author_uid":"1082891","time":"2020-04-21T19:47:12Z","epoch":1587498432,"modified":1587498499,"text":"That was fun and cute, but can you add key to respawn ?

That aside, game play wise, there are things that can be improved of course. First thing would be the one-hit-kill-mechanic. Give that princess some hit points! Running speed is very slow so jumping into enemies happens regularly. The platforming physics can be improved as well. There are some strange glitches when running or jumping into or against walls. I guess asking for animations on the self drawn assets would be a bit much, though :D loved the enemy designs by the way.
