I don't like the limited lives implementation in this game. When everything kills you in one hit and the lack of ways to earn extra lives, it just feels depressing to watch the number go down. Sure you got a butt tonne of lives, I died like 35 times on my blind playthrough, but watching a good number go down makes each death more rage-inducing, when I doubt this game is meant to be frustrating. Besides that, I enjoyed this game. The map was a nice size. Gems were hidden in great spots!
Small 2d platform game with exploration that is quite entertaining even though I would recommend playing it with the controller since at least with the keyboard I couldn't control the character well.
Although the experience is somewhat short, it does feature many concepts of exploration, finding paths that you must return to eventually when you have a key or a new ability to progress. On the other hand, the management of the jumps is somewhat complicated but with some practice it is easy to obtain most of the jumps even though the highest ones are still difficult to perform.
A fun and challenging experience that makes me wonder what else has been scheduled at PICO-8.
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)

I GOT OUT after dying 87 times, collecting 791 coins, and all of the spiders.
Really good game :D
I would only change the jump response, it comes late and it difficults the timing. The rest had me hooked
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.

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

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!
