I really enjoyed the game, really crative and fun. But i found a way to always beat the hero, meaning the game will never end, i did basically the same thing like 30 times and I always beat the same way.
The folowing video is meant for the dev, if you just do what i did you will be wining the same way every time, and it will lose the fun.
This was an incredibly touching game. Enjoyed every second of it. The art is incredible, and the coding of the hero- thank you so much for making this!!
Absolutely flawless. Gameplay doesn't matter, Visuals don't matter, the story was amazing. To see the other end of how we play as gamers. Even the remark of being able to gain better gear through the experience of the final boss is something that happens. I was overtaken by the dialogue in the final stage of the game. Genuinely I had shivers. Truly a welcomed experience and I hope to see more games like this. Just that 30 minutes of playtime, which I did time, was mesmerizing. I was taken into the story in it's entirety. 100/10 I love this game.
Why are you dying ☠️ to bosses 👨🏼? You should just be using descending dark 🕶. Descending ⬇️ dark 🕶️ gives you iframes 👀 which stop 🛑 you taking damage 😔. It also does a🅰️🅰️ lot of damage 😢. Stop 🛑 dying ☠️ to video 📻📻👾 game 👾 bosses 👨🏼 and just use descending ⬇️ dark 🌑
i really like this game it was an amazing experience i played it 5 time too try some special dialogue stop fighting and having the i dont want to fight with you anymore line is so sad...
I liked the game very much: the music, the visuals and sound work; It really helps the character of the queen pop up. Maybe it's because it hits one of my soft spots, but I really felt most of the dialogues coming from the queen. [SPOILER] The only personal issue I've head is regarding the attacks: the fact there's a pause before and after certain attacks makes you feel really stuck. You just click to swing the weapon and end up standing still for a little bit too much, breaking the timing you have to sinc with in order to hit the hero. I think I only achieved one ending because of that [hero wins at last phase], but I'll be happy to try again.
Hi Mosu! I just wanted to let you know that I loved the game! I used it as background for a podcast that I'm working on that will air on Saturday. I included your link and credits in the description. I hope that's okay! Feel free to write back if you feel I should go about this differently. I'll share the link soon!
I hate games that give you the illusion of free will. Everything is scripted, you have no control of what's going on, the game ends when it decides to end, not when you decide. If you want to play a pseudointellectual simulator of feebleness, download this game. You are forced to give up, your choice doesn't matter. +cool sprites and animations -music is kinda eh 3/10 the idea of playing as a boss is great, but the implementation is weak.
I get your felling, some times it feels like you are supose to beat the hero at a specific time. But i asure it's not, I was in the middle of my last bar, so near losing). won, and than i started doing different things, now the hero can't even remove my first bar, that's for sure not scripted.
No, i have noticed when publishing/trying other games on itch.io that aren't made by "publishers" it gets flagged. Its all good and if you want run it through malwarebytes
It means your machine is infected with the Microsoft virus. If that is on purpose, you can ignore it. It is not a problem on non-Microsoft operating systems.
I'm happy that more people are seeing the point of FromSoft Games. They aren't hard for hard sake. They are trying to tell you something. The world is relentless. But you can change. You can adapt. What stands in your ways is tough but it's static. You always have the upper hand. You're made of star stuff, and you're unstoppable.
This is a phenomenal short-lived gaming experience. I love that there are multiple endings, that you, as the final boss, has a second phase, and the rapport you build up with the hero. I only have one critique of this and it is that sometimes the hero will take no damage from an attack that overlaps with his sprite, but aside from that, incredible quickfire game.
Bro this game was amazing. The concept of you being a Dark Souls Boss is really fun. And the Secret Lore in this game where the Boss slowly starts Embracing the Enemy in thier Death and accepts thier Own Death was so Cute I Love This Game.
i enjoyed the game and cant wait to run through it to see the other endings but i will say there were many times i hit the hero that it did not register and it was a bit annoying. maybe if you want it to look a little more understandable why it didn't hit him story wise, have his shield pop up or something. other wise great game
this has to be one of the more unique indie games ive played, you're role as a boss fight bur YOU'RE THE BOSS?! Very Crestive, it shows that the queen is right, the game is rigged
I saw that many people wish for and ending were the queen join the hero and Vice versa and i think that would be great (and i also want that) but i have another ending idea... soo my idea is that when the hero ask the queen whats she fears, if you choose "being leave behind" (or something like that) at the ending of the run, the queen will ask the hero for a favor, asking him to remember her and continue her legacy, leaving her mace and crown together on the field.
like the quest line of lucatiel of mirrah from dark soul 2 where at the last quest she gives you her armor set and sword and asks you to continue her legacy (also, her armor can be found in dark souls 3 so the dark souls 2 protagonist did continue her legacy)
so that my idea... I hope I can contribute something and see this in the game, although I don't think it's possible, but at least I tried.

Average souls like boss experience

Ok, so after i recorded the video, i tested a little more and I found out that aparently I broke the game, the hero now dies if he comes close to me.
What the heck did you do? How did you do that?
I got the exact same issue, it keeps looping in the phase "Oops my bad, won't happen again", the hero dies if he comes close to me
I thought the queen finally got a new ability but yeah it seems like it's just a bug.
This was an incredibly touching game. Enjoyed every second of it. The art is incredible, and the coding of the hero- thank you so much for making this!!
I loved it! Great pixel-art visuals, absolute treat to look at. It made me unexpectedly emotional, impressive :,)

Phase 2 second skill be like
Why are you dying ☠️ to bosses 👨🏼? You should just be using descending dark 🕶. Descending ⬇️ dark 🕶️ gives you iframes 👀 which stop 🛑 you taking damage 😔. It also does a🅰️🅰️ lot of damage 😢. Stop 🛑 dying ☠️ to video 📻📻👾 game 👾 bosses 👨🏼 and just use descending ⬇️ dark 🌑
I liked it. But it's a pity that there's only really only one full-fledged ending.
i really like this game it was an amazing experience i played it 5 time too try some special dialogue stop fighting and having the i dont want to fight with you anymore line is so sad...
Is there any way to play this with a controller? I can't seem to get mine to work
it worked for me. there isnt much difference to playing with the keyboard though
So good

Considering some cmoments I've read, that makes the hero leave instead of fighting, I doubt it's all scripted 😅

maior jogo do mundo triste do brasil
And there will be no port for phone ?
Very well made and interesting premise. I really enjoyed it
This game has a virus?, just asking bc it triggered SmartScreen of windows defender and virustotal said it had a troyan
No, i have noticed when publishing/trying other games on itch.io that aren't made by "publishers" it gets flagged. Its all good and if you want run it through malwarebytes
that almost always happens with itch.io games, doesn't mean it's a virus
It means your machine is infected with the Microsoft virus. If that is on purpose, you can ignore it. It is not a problem on non-Microsoft operating systems.
Played and really enjoyed this! Awesome stuff, loved the animation. Also made a vidya :B
my friend randomly said " Are they gonna kiss? " after silence 😭 add that as an ending fr..
we need them to kiss lmao
amei o jogo

I loved every second of this, it captured the exact feeling I thought it was going for, and the ending was *chef's kiss* spectacular.

when your still he will leave do it again he will leave again but then you will be frozen and killed you won't even go to phase
when i run it it triggers windows defender
A lot of games on itch will trigger it, they are not verified by Microsoft, so Defender triggers automatically. You're safe
I would pay money for a full fledged version of this on Steam
That game is called Dark Souls. Or Elden Ring.
Hi. I would like to volunteer to translate this game to Polish language :) You can see my old translations here https://www.youtube.com/user/ikskoks2/videos
SPOILERS FOR THE GAME
Bro this game was amazing. The concept of you being a Dark Souls Boss is really fun. And the Secret Lore in this game where the Boss slowly starts Embracing the Enemy in thier Death and accepts thier Own Death was so Cute I Love This Game.
Adorei o Jogo parabéns ao criador, muito obrigado pelas legendas em português!
I didn't expect this to be this good! Great idea, pixel art and dialogue, I loved it!
i enjoyed the game and cant wait to run through it to see the other endings but i will say there were many times i hit the hero that it did not register and it was a bit annoying. maybe if you want it to look a little more understandable why it didn't hit him story wise, have his shield pop up or something. other wise great game
I loved it! No spoilers but I liked the different endings a lot. The art was also really cool!
this has to be one of the more unique indie games ive played, you're role as a boss fight bur YOU'RE THE BOSS?! Very Crestive, it shows that the queen is right, the game is rigged
I really enjoyed this.
I'm a few runs in, to see all the dialogue :)
If you need some help translating your game into german, I would be happy to help ;)
Bye
is say my pc is protected. and since its my first time. is it ok to play? im kinda confused
nah ur computer gonna blow up
lol
oh noes
can you make a version for android or for browser playing thank's
Yes pls. It doesn't let me open the game because it says that its a risk to my pc or something.
Windows does that to any program that doesn't pay them. Windows doesn't scan them for threats first.
I saw that many people wish for and ending were the queen join the hero and Vice versa and i think that would be great (and i also want that) but i have another ending idea...
soo my idea is that when the hero ask the queen whats she fears, if you choose "being leave behind" (or something like that) at the ending of the run, the queen will ask the hero for a favor, asking him to remember her and continue her legacy, leaving her mace and crown together on the field.
like the quest line of lucatiel of mirrah from dark soul 2 where at the last quest she gives you her armor set and sword and asks you to continue her legacy (also, her armor can be found in dark souls 3 so the dark souls 2 protagonist did continue her legacy)
so that my idea... I hope I can contribute something and see this in the game, although I don't think it's possible, but at least I tried.
