great game! I also love how the spiders are a sort of hidden collectible, I just started grabbing them after I realized they disappeared when you touch them, glad I got rewarded for it lol
Great little platformer! 100 deaths is actually a good limit, it feels like a lot at first but towards the end I started to feel a bit nervous about it. I finished in 36:09:44 with 818 coins, 80 deaths, and 16/16 spiders. What's the max number of coins?
Excellent game! It took me a while to realise that I needed to use the dash to clear some of the tougher jumps, but aside from that it was a great experience all the way through.
I actually like the 100 lives it gives a good amount of tension like in the begins when I had a lot of live I wasn't to worried about dying but near the end I was taking baby step like no othe
I suck at games that involve anything remotely similar to Super Meat Boy platforming. The game is great, though. Had a blast playing through it! (Once I restarted, of course!)
The gameplay is inspired by Zelda and other dungeons games where you have to get power-ups and items to access certain area. I suggest you to keep looking around the dungeon. Try to reach the leader above the room. Good luck
What are the buttons to start the game? Those button symbols don't really look like anything to me... I tried x and o but those didn't work (yes I clicked the frame)
However, I don't like how icy floor could be sticky instead of being slippery and how coins and keys can't be picked up if you move very quick while taking it
But nonetheless, I like the challenges and the exploration aspect of this game
Awesome game, I love the artwork and the music. All of the metroidvania aspects were spot on, and the combat felt pretty good. My only complaint is that it is a little bit difficult to tell that the ice spikes would kill you, but that is a tiny detail in a great game.
First of all, great game. Excellent graphics, sounds, music, game concept! All very polished. I've seen a couple other people mention it but I think the "jump higher" note is misleading to read before you figure out how to dash jump. The problem is that it's not easily apparent how to dash-jump or that it's even possible before you read the note saying there must be a way to jump higher. This makes the player look for a way to jump higher instead of looking for another place to jump. Perhaps the first few rooms should be more linear with less Metroidvania "gates" so the player can learn the all of the tools he has at his disposal before being introduced to the gates like the too-high ledge... Either way, nice job! I look forward to seeing what else you come up with!

can we get controller support?
oh my god this fucking game is very frustrating. it's almost like getting over it. almost.
now now, no need to use that kind of wording, its just a game that you are playing alone.
... Getting Over It is also a single-player game.
plz answer
You need to get to the locked door in the room to the left of the room with the skull that swears about the key.
what do i do after i get the first key and orange cube im stuck at the begining i went left and right i need help
Punch a zombie.

Nice game
Thanks for your review Caitlin, really glad you enjoyed our game.
Love the game! my time 31:51:08, 782 coins ,88 deaths losig at a 100 really stresst me out! :)
i can't get past the room where a skull tells you about the spiders (maybe cuz i have bad platformer skills)

Bruh this doesn't work it never loads for some reason
Great game!
Why can I not get past the title screen? None of the leys on my keyboard work
Try to click on the game frame. If it doesn't work download the executable
Did you re-release this game here: https://loneknightgames.itch.io/loneviking
?
no lol. Another copycat in the wild. Thanks for noticing me :|
You are more than welcome for the heads up and you deserve it for the great work you do :)
HOW DO I START (idk the keybinds)
Check the controls and press the two buttons (x + c). If it doesn't work clic on the game frame and try again.
Thx for telling :D
Excellent game! It took me a while to realise that I needed to use the dash to clear some of the tougher jumps, but aside from that it was a great experience all the way through.
TheRE iS A dEAtH CoUnt What Is thiS dARk SouLs
Some people complained it wasn't possible in less than 100 lives so I turned it into a joke
I actually like the 100 lives it gives a good amount of tension like in the begins when I had a lot of live I wasn't to worried about dying but near the end I was taking baby step like no othe
from what i have played it is very fun tho the jump is kinda weard tbh because i am used to floater platforming good job
Me: "HA! 99 lives! That's WAY too easy!"
Also Me: "I NEED MORE LIVES HOW CAN I BEAT THIS WITH 99 ONLY!?"
Either you suck at games, or I suck as a developer

You're too honest. Thanks for enjoying my humble game. Cheers
help pleaseee i cant go any longer after the skull what says ''there must be a way to jump higher'' plese helpppp
Look around the dungeon. Try the other way, follow the ladders. You'll be able to jump higher later
trapevania
that's so beautiful!
You're beautiful
how get key on left above lava? im so confused. also how jump higher?

It's an amazing game, and I love the artstyle!
Thanks jet!
How do you jump higher? nothing seems to be working for me.
That's an hint for later. Try to go on the left and explore the reste of the dungeon
THIS GAME IS AMZING! VERY FUN TO PLAY!
i like it, but it's waaaay too hard
It's a pretty good platformer
Although double jump bugs out sometimes
Other than that, it was very nice
What are the buttons to start the game? Those button symbols don't really look like anything to me... I tried x and o but those didn't work (yes I clicked the frame)
press z i think
those are for controllers, check the description for keyboard controls
A fantastic little game, thanks very much!
This is the best Pico8 platform game I have played so far. well done and I really appreciate the level design. The jumping...not so much :)
Thanks! I admit jumps can be a bit rigid and tricky. Not my best work :p
Great game!
one hour and 3 minutes lol. my best time in 100%:
Fastest Time on Any%:
Heh 420 lol.
Enjoyed it 9/10
It is a good metroidvania

I just played Deepest Dungeon and didn`t realise it was a clone of this I had fun but I wish I played this instead, they look very similar...
Une bonne ambiance super jeux !! le seul défaut et le jump un poil en retard.j'irais voir vos autres jeux ;)
I am kind of stuck at the point when you follow the story relevant lava path and you have to do the double jump over that really long gap.
lost like 30 lives to it yet still havent managed to do it :'-(
only 1 diamond thingie left too :-/
You can use the punch as a dash mid-air combined with double jump to get across
thanks for the answer, even though it is a year later :-)
okay, just beat it with 28 deaths :-)
