- There's some good juice in this game, the animations are fun and the cutscene at the beginning showing the enemy knights coming into the throne room is a really nice polished touch.
- The art is top notch, especially for a jam game.
- The top down perspective is cool. I get like a medieval Hotline Miami vibe from this whole thing.
Things that didn't work so well:
- It was so darn hard. I just kept getting nailed by the enemy knights, I didn't manage to get far enough to buy any upgrades.
Overall well done, a few tweaks and it would be a fun game for sure.
