Wow! This is amazing! Super cute art and animations. Hard to move for the first time but it's still fun and the whole idea is very interesting. Well done! :)

My favorite entry so far ! Really good job, thx for this experience :D

really cool game! the controls are a little hard at first but then they're pretty easy to use. definitely a cool concept. i love the art soo much too. only issue is that i couldn't figure out what to do to get past the 2nd room.

I have a feeling this will be my favorite. Well done. Love the art, sound and gameplay. Was a little hard at first to control, but quickly got the hang of it.

Was hoping for some more content / mechanics. Sorry to see it end.

This is incredible. Gorgeous graphics, animation, and sound.

At first, I somehow failed to notice the sword grew longer after killing enemies, and shortened after hitting obstacles. I kept doing both enough that they mostly canceled each other out. Had to come back and read the description. Once that was done, everything came together really well. This might be my favorite entry. Would work great on mobile devices.

Wow... this is incredible for 72 hours! Everything looks so great and smooth. And it's really fun too. Only game I've rated 5 stars so far! Amazing job! You should be very proud.

This is awesome. Everything plays so smoothly. I just wish there was a way to move and spin together. I demand a third button! Haha.

<3

Wow, this game is so hard once your sword gets too big :D

You really came up with an innovative way to use two buttons for movement.
The art and sound effects are really cute, this easily one of my favourite games this far.

Brilliant! Your creativity has sprouted something really nice with those themes. Nice to play and nice art as well!

Love the art, and the game mechanics. really awesome !!!
But i got 1 issue : I couldnt go throught the tutorial Level. I killed monsters, small pink ones, but nothings happens.

Definitely my favorite entry so far. Great work on the graphics and music.

Congratulations! This game is awesome! One of the best I have played so far

neat graphics and the mechanic is great and smart

Art is adorable. :) The sword growing mechanic reminds me of 3d dot heroes on ps3. Really fun! Certainly one of my favorite LD34 games. Was kinda hoping for a boss at the end though.

Amazing work, both fun and innovative I really like what you did here.

First game I rated 5/5 on everything. Amazing.
Two minor things:
1. When you take damage, the "juice" is not on par with the optimal level of rest of the game.
2. It wasn't clear ingame what was needed to go to the next level.

First 5 star I've given out this Ludum Dare. Amazing work.

Awesome game guys =D , I realy love the concept and the gameplay, the graphics were also very good.

Awesome game! I love the simplistic style. The controls are smart and the game-play is challenging but fair. The only complaint I could have would be that it is a bit on the short side but it makes up for it with its ending.

Beautiful. But I got bored waiting for enemies to spawn on the first level.

Great game!

What an adorable game, loved the music and how it fit the rest of the game especially! Swinging the sword felt pretty good but I feel you could have juiced it up still a bit more with some sound effects. The controls were frustrating at times but you had a good solution to the two button problem. Good job all around!

That is one smooth experience! I can't even tell you how much I enjoyed the art style, animation and overall design. Great work!

That was awesome, really cool concept.

Single. Best. Entry. Yet! Super fun, quirky, humorous, addicting... Just wish there was more!

Best game I played in this LDJAM. Not making it into a full game would be mistake. Mandaram muito bem!

The best so far. Really nice work.

Oh my goodness this is full of greatness! So smooth and buttery, and also very cute. Absolutely nailed the two button control and growing themes!

Really cool !! :) Love the art and the kawai sword !

FIVE!FIVE!FIVE EVERYWERE!
This game is incredibily awesome!!
Very interesting idea and damn awesome using of the controls. It's not very comfortable, but the this little knight is to small to hold dat big sword, that's why I think it all plays out!
Marvelous design and graphinks, sweet music and sounds.
I very like the feeling of sword pushing from the rock, you just feeling it and this little moments makes this game so awesome.
In my opinion, this is the best game on this jam.

Super cute! Loved chars and that the sword is a character too! Awesome

Great Art and Great Sound. The Game itself is also pretty neat. I find it really hard to control though. Especially when I want to stop rotating and it take like a second to stop - sure, makes it look more smooth but it makes it also really hard to navigate.

Anyway, an overall well-made game.

Magic

This was super-cute, & I loved the art-style. Unfortunately while it ran smooth for the initial tutorial, the moment the enemies spawned the whole game chugged down to single-digit framerate & made it impossible to aim the sword. Clearly something in my PC setup disagrees with it.

Disappointed, as I'd have liked to play more.

Very hot game! Super enjoyable in every aspect. Ok, the movement was hard at times. Top little game!

I think there's an issue running in 4:3 ratio screens - menus and text fall off the screen. Love the game, it took a while to get the hang of how things work (possibly because of the screen issue).

An excellent combination of both themes! The aesthetic is fantastic and really contributes a lot to the game's feel. I had a lot of fun playing this and would love to see something come from it.

Great work! 5's across the board!

Wow, it's probably the best game i've played so far! Very well done! Everything is completly lovely and nice and fun! (just some text that didn't fit in the screen :( ) Well done, I want to play more of this!

Very well done!

Liked a lot! Pretty fun and well resolved art!

Great! Really interesting in the gameplay and fine arts.
Need a bit of time to take the movements in hands! :D

Amazing entry, loved the art style. Really great game. :)

Pro job. Congratulations! Really well executed in so few time.
I took a time to understand how to active the path to the next area.

wonderfully polished and cute

Beautiful game. Super polished. Very cute style and aesthetic. Very clever way of dealing with the two button limit. Using the sword as direction and weapon made it comically unwieldy. We had a ton of fun playing. Great job guys!

Outstanding entry. Everything all of the animations are extremely smooth and satisfying. I love the personality of the sword, and feel really bad when I accidentally hit the gemstones (which is a lot). The music and sfx fit perfectly. The overall aesthetics are just wonderful. Great work.

I think that is the most polished game that I've seen here at LD34.

Really nicely done. Cute graphics. Incorporated both themes. It started to cause my fan to spin up and the framerate to drop after several levels, but until then it was really fun.

Stunning. The music really hit me. Loved that. I would love to be able to play that as background music while I work.

Wowzer. Amazing job! Definitely one of the top games I've played. Super great job!

Wow what a wonderful game!! The controls felt really good, I loved swinging the sword around, and moving wasn't as frustrating as it could have been, haha. The whole design worked really well too! The sword growing gave you lots of advantages, like reach and getting to new areas, but it also got in the way with those gold rocks as well! Also the variance in enimies was really solid. The music was good and the art style was wonderful! I loved that the sword had that face. Absolutely incredible job!! I loved it. :D

Good job. This is a really beautiful game with interessting mechanics and really nice artwork... +1 artwork +1 characters :D

I love it! Animations are juicy as hell and the art style is gorgeous. Two-Button-Controls was executed perfectly. Really great job!!

Wow!! This is really great. Super smart use of both themes and really adorable, well polished art. Love the vibes. A little more feedback on how you reach the next platform would be helpful. It wasn't too clear that hitting the statue created the bridge at first. Awesome work!

Wow! Really awesome game! So clever on the two buttons gameplay :)! Huge congrats!

Unfortunatly a bit slow on my computer but really like the concept and art, a very polished game nice work !

Great looking game with cool concept but it clearly suffers from the 2 buttons restriction, when you don't press A and D at the exact same time you go off in a different direction you wanted which happened often for me. It took me a bit to realize that I had to hit the monkey statue to get further on the 2nd isle. The isles with the bunnies instantly wrecked me.

While the controls feel a bit too.. loose, the game is actually pretty fun. And the graphics are quite fun. Overall, a very good game.

Art is awesome, music is well done, everything is adorably cute and funny. More levels would be cool, and maybe you could bend the rules a little bit and add a quit button.

Wow, great game! It's so pretty! And nice gameplay! I love swinging the sword left and right, feels great, good job! My only concern is that the game is so short... Make 10 or 12 blocks more! Keep it up!

This is so great! But the fade out to white just means that it was all just a dream all along right? Is there a way to get hearts back? Besides really great entry, very polished and elegant! Super well done! Congrats!

I sincerely dislike those bunnies. They are evil! Great game. Quite hard to manage the controls and I think as for the quality of the game, it would improve and become even better if you make a version with more than two buttons. I liked the progression. Art style is just fantastic. The thing that was a bit annoying was that if you had managed to cut down your sword really short you had to wait for spawns before you could activate bridge to next area. Or so it seemed.

In the title screen I had the feeling that some of the text might have ended up outside the display area/camera. Probably just a small fix. It would also have been nice to exit the game somehow.

Great entry all in all though.

a bit hard to master the control of the character, but overall a very, very cool entry!

really cute game, i love it :) just a little bug with the aspect ratio in fullscreen. best use of the theme!

Love the art style so much!

Loved the look and feel of the game. Graphics were very nice actually, loved the glowing sword and the bit of personality given by the little face.

Took me a little while to figure out that I had to kill a wave then hit the stone thing to open the next area.

Movement was no fun at all though, shame you had not stuck to just the growing theme :D

An amazing experience! Absolutely lovely use of theme.

Beautiful game, however the controls were pretty frustrating. Great attempt at innovating with the two button controls!

Wow! I really liked what you made here. Such a beautiful, smart game. One of the best ones I've seen so far and easily a good game for mobile devices if you keep working on it.

Really enjoyed playing this! Excellent and solid entry!

Cannot play because am french and neither arrows neither zqsd neither gamepad can be mapped :'(

Perfect, simply perfect! Great job :D

Wow this absolutely beautiful! AMazing graphics/mood/sound :D The integration of both themes is also amazing! 5/5 :D

Sadly this game is almost unplayable for me on Windows 10. It is super smooth up until the monsters spawn and then it lags so badly I can't position my sword! I tried lowering the quality settings and screen resolution but it makes no difference :( I really want to play it! It looks amazing!

this has to be one of the most interesting games i played this ludum dare. nice gfx, nice sfx, nice music, nice mood.

It's a great entry, graphics are great, everything works properly, sound and music are great. I just think it was a little too easy and the ending could be better. I guess even with two studios 3 days is not enough time to put everything in. Thanks for creating this beauty.

amazing entry, one of the best I played so far. it feel really cohesive with the music art and gameplay. amazing for 72 hours. only thing I disliked are the controls. I was usable but it would've been more enjoyable with something like mouse and keyboard

Absolutely wonderful! Brilliant art, silky smooth gameplay, just all around awesome! Great Job!

Ha ha, that sword is so cute :) WEEEE! This game is brilliant in every respect.

Nice game! Both themes used perfectly =)
The comform control mechanic with two buttonw usually is a problem. But you have done well! Visuals are great! This speaking sword is very cute =)
Unfortunately, game is too short =(

Very impressive. Double nailed the theme. Cute fun art. Audio and art fit together well. Feel good. Feel real good.

The animation and graphics are incredible, and the gameplay is simple but fun. Feels very polished. To me it is one of the best games I've played so far.

It get's very laggy when emulating with Wine on Ubuntu 14.04

Cool! Took me a while to realize how to cross the water but could just be my rusty old brain from too many LDJAM games. Or not reading the description. xD

Otherwise, I really enjoyed this. Nice work.

Nice audio and graphics. The extreme lag made playing the game almost impossible but the few gameplay I could taste felt really great.

Pretty much a perfect jam entry - ended too soon, so hopefully we'll see an expanded version in the future!

Liked the graphics and controls, but enemies spawn too rarely!
Also in fullscreen mode the text doesn't fit

really good in every sense, one of the most complete/nicest game I playied this LD.

my favorite of the jam so far - well done - amazing - how did you do the squishy effects with Unity?

Great concept and interesting controls, but the game built around it, while entertaining, doesn't really seem to fit.

At least for me the most fun of using those control is the wildness and unpredictability of the movement and the slashing. I feel that a more hacky-and-slashy version of this would be so much more fun than a precision based puzzle.

Anyhow, still a fun and engaging game, well done!

oh my god that sword looks so goddamn happy

Super great. The art is absolutely beautiful, and there's so much charm oozing out of this game. Movement was pretty tricky to do accurately because of the speed and momentum of the sword, but perhaps that's part of the character of the game. Love it!

WOW! Well done! The graphics, sound, and gameplay were all great! Also, I really felt bad for the sword whenever I hit the rocks, the face was a nice touch! (also, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to distribute the .pdb files with the game. You could reduce your download size significantly)

Absolutely fantastic...

Such cute, much polish. The controls took a little getting used to but they weren't awkward. Loved the aesthetic, the only fault I could find is with the AI pathing/facing direction glitching out if an obstacle was immediately between them and me. Otherwise fantastic work!

Very cute, great and fun entry! The bunnies though, man... the bunnies...

I've seen alot of games try to cram the two themes in to their own detriment... this game manages to do it really well and make it work for your theme and mechanics. Also the visual style here is stunning, the music, ugh damn...
Its so cute that the terrible violence I'm doing to these swamp creatures feels good.

You win. You win so bad you make me wanna quit.

I love art, I love the mechanics, is funny and meet all goals. really an amazing job!!

:ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Top notch, smooth polish all around. :D
(and a nice hook with the StarWarzes ;))

Core is good, might need some control tweaking to make the swing startup a little slower (to give players a little more control)

Awesome graphics, good job !

Amazing. I love the art style and the gameplay is tight. Superb work guys! You should be proud. I'd definitely love to see a post-jam version of this. :)

Fantastic job. The graphics with animations and gameplay was just something else. Top shelf.

Super polished and great, how did you guys make such epic games in 72 hours?
I think you should increase the enemy spawn rate, or those who keep hitting the stones (me) will never get past level 2...

This game is just awesome but it was barely playable on my rather old PC... Please, work on optimisation a little bit more! Otherwise 5/5 in almost every category

Man, what a wonderful and hard game!
Well done!
Could have some checkpoints...please... t-t

All around, this game is really amazing! Left me wanting more, so that's a very good sign. Only complaint I have is, that part of the text was outside of my screen, but that's a very minor thing.
It feels really awesome cutting through everything with a giant sword.

A little buggy on my old PC, but still I managed to finish it. Really good entry, nice take of both themes, and funny design. Good job !

Innovative controls and amazing graphics and mood! I love how wack the enemies look! :D

Brilliant entry! Art style is lovely, and sound is fitting, too. At first I thought that controlling movement the way it's implemented would be tricky, but it works perfectly fine.

Congrats, you've done a great job!

Wow, seriously I love this game!
Awesome and cute entry, very polished and elegant. I liked the controls and the growing sword (so cute). Congrats, that was my favorite entry!!

It's beautiful, simple, challenging, cure. There is not a single thing for improvement. Love LD for such gems.

Perfect! :D hilarious, polished, great music, art, mood, and use of both themes :) great job

Not sure why, but this game is too laggy for me to play :(

which is a shame, because it looks really good!

Amazing game really fun

Amazing game really fun, my fav game for now!

Brilliant theme interpretation and great art style. I really enjoyed it.

Amazing art, really good take on BOTH themes, and really fun to play!

Love it, the visuals, sound and mechanics. The momentum on the sword is an awesome idea.

Great take on the theme

Love the animations and overall look! If you just skip the theme and make conventional controls after LD it will be a solid game.

Very elegant gameplay!

Bravo, this game is really good. There is a bit of difficulty in dodging the projectiles but there has to be some difficulty. The level was also made in a way that you could learn the mechanics at a good pace. I just wish it had more levels.

This concept is so smart. Il love it!
I was doubtful about the controls at first, but it in fact, they work very well!
I don't speak about art and music, of course, they are perfect.
Awesome work guys!

This game looks fantastic and the sword mechanics are great, even though the steering mechanic is a little hard to master. Awesome entry, guys!

Really good, can take a while to figure out the controls and they do require some skill haha! Can also take a while to figure out where you're supposed to go but overall and awesome game!

That game has everything! Various foes and mechanics, gorgeous graphics, cute atmosphere, great sounds. Thanks, had a great time playing it.

What a polished game. Not only the graphics are gorgeous but the game is very fun. I liked the music and SFX too.

Really love the style, it fits so well with the music and sound effects! The gameplay itself is really interesting, I like that both themes fit together so well for this concept. Great job, I would definitely play more!

Very well done, it's cute and fun to play. A little hard to move because you can only go where the sword is pointed though.

Brilliant! Super hard but really fun once mastered!

Great game! It was very satisfying murdering those cute little enemies, and I appreciated how forgiving the game was. Audio and art were fantastic. All 5s from me!

wow! fantastic game. All parts were great. I would def play a complete game. Super nice :D
