Cute and fun, though needing a lot of polish. I really love the sprite art and the story concept is funny. Great work! 🏰

I WOULD love to recommend this to anybody reading-- the art style is very cute, I'm really impressed by the spritework and the talking images and the audio-- music and SFX-- are very well done. The story is simple but compelling nonetheless.

However... The main character controls like she's on ice all the time, which is beyond frustrating even without considering this is a game where most of the difficulty is in platforming. With endless drops that look just like any other path until it abruptly resets you, it escalates to teeth-pulling levels of frustration. Not to mention that there's an invisible life system which will reset you back to the beginning of the level if you die three times... not that you're told about this. At all. Have fun getting to the level boss, dying because of your character getting stuck on their head when you mistime the finicky jump for the finickier combat (or on the corner of a wall, which happens non-stop) and getting a game over without knowing why. 

Combat is frustrating too-- you need to find JUST the right spot to stand in and hit enemies... or use the magic attack that you're never told you have. Took me into the second level to figure out what that was... by accident. 

I really really WANT to recommend this game-- it's adorable and for a game jam project it's pretty admirable. It's got heart, character, and clearly effort went into it, effort you have to commend. And I HATE being the one to say this, but it's not... fun. Only play this if you're the kind of person who enjoys the difficulty of game functionality, not game mechanics.

Love it!! I finished the game and it took me 1 hour :(

i suck at games and im not really a gamer soooo

I loved the ending (what a twist!) !!! I know this game is old and stuff (lol i dont whats it about old games but they're very cool and have this feel about them, like assualtcube and or cube 2 saurbraten) but its still good.

hey can have permission to use game to stream on twitch i could give link to after done if like i can take down i just wanted your permission about this  so can i ?

i had a hard time with the platforming, i think it might be a tad too sensitive but other than that i adore it

9_9 not ganna lie... Im not good enough to play this game. I can't get used to the controls. I lost level 1 over and over. What I saw up to their was good tho.

It's a good game, how ever the controls are so wonky and sensitive that it takes a lot of time and effort to get up just one of the walls. It keeps freezing too...

This game was fun as hell, and I really enjoyed the amount of heart that went into it. I went through the tumblr page for this game and read the extended dialogue and background information on all the characters (including the mother of Clover?!) and it really does sounds like there's a lot more to world that you had in mind that you didn't end up getting into with this game! I hope at some point in the future you manage to make another entry with a little more experience under your belt as a team (and potentially without a time limit forcing a crunch on you guys!)

I ended up speed running this game, because why not? I don't know if anyone's done it before, but it just was my way of putting as strong an effort into grasping the mechanics behind the project as I felt was put together by y'all.

Keep your ambitions! <3


Cute little game, laughed at the end, but the controls really need tightening up, they are the mainstay of any platformer. This also may be because of the controls, but I don't see how the last boss was supposed to be beatable without doing what felt like an exploit. Would of liked a lives count on the UI as well, until the last boss I assumed it was bugged and would just keep healing me to full when I died :P

Had fun though, doesn't take too much time to play through.

the pace is really fast controls very sensitive but good game

i can't run this on windows 10? s.o.s... does it only run on 64 bit pc's

(+1)

I play on the mac version, and tbh its very frustrating to play. Also some bugs i have is that theres no dialogue at all like at all. Its very difficult to play as well because of how close you need to be to slash the enemies and how slippery the floor is.

I would like to play this, but everytime I try, it gives me an incompatibility error about having to check if I have 64 or 32 bit windows. Would appreciate some help

Actually, forget What I said, I just realized that the game is supposed to be that short, right? is just a little love story, it would be nice if you guys could add an actual third level, just to built up more tension xD I change my mind about the music, is pretty awesome and catchy now that I got a pretty good time to hear it, the controlls are not the best, but for how long the game goes, it works, the art is still awesome and they have various facial expressions ,not just one or two but VARIOUS xD good work guys...Good work. The story is nice btw I havent read the backstory of each character yet since Tumblr is giving me some problems right now, but I'll get to that as soon as I can cause, all of them are so pretty I just have to know more about them xD

I have to ask, do you plan on expanding this game? maybe? like adding a few levels or more enemies sprites? more power ups or something? if not is totally fine, im sure it was quite a ride to make this in just 2 months, but it would be great if an update were to be released soon xD

Its kinda neat, the problem is that Ellyn can be too damn slippery at times, also really fast so is hard not to run into any guards by accident, I have to take my time and slowly aproach them, I can stand that most of the time, but then theres the platforming which suffers the same problem again because Ellyn goes too damn fast! but hey, the game overall is pretty ok, 2 months? not half bad, I know how hard can be to make a game so I can tell. Also, add a save feature, or at least checkpoints before every boss, Katrina is hard, she is nintendo hard since everytime I die at her I have to start the level all the way back from the beginning, which is FRUSTRATING....sigh, I give this game 7.5/10 too generous? maybe, but with a little work this could be an awesome game, also another note, add some textures in level 0, is the most boring looking level I have ever seen since "Straight Line Zone" from a shitty sonic fangame, the castle background in the next level was a nice serve though xD

I ALMOST FORGOT! I dont know how could I not mention it before, the art? IS FANTASTIC is so nice and detailed, I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! the music is ok, not too shaby BUT THE ART OMG!!

*Ahem*, yeah the art is good xD

the game needs a save feature and the platforming is to slippery so play the original prince of persia game and learn from that.
