The idea of playing as the big boss at the end of a game and seeing the character that just can't stay dead, always growing, always learning, is such an awesome idea! I've played through it twice, and between the story and the gameplay it is an amazing game!
Some philosopher said something like this about Spanish bullfighting:
Often, the matador wins thanks to intensive training and superior skills. Would he be injured, he would be evacuated to have a chance to recover and, if not suffering from permanent injury, give it another try. Whereas the bull is just a fresh player. Now, imagine that we let the bull fight the matador, take a few non-mortal blows, leave the arena to take the time to recover, and repeat. Wouldn’t the bull end up learning the matador’s moves and how to counter them until it can kill him?
This fight reminded me of this. Except, when I was the one bleeding, no friends were there to save me.
I love this game. Three time I thought I saw all it has to offer and then i got a new dialog. After that when I was sure The Dark Queen could not beat the Hero in combat I finally did it, and the ending? This will be one of the games I'll keep coming back to. Thank you.
This is, without a doubt, one of the most poetic and beautiful game experiences i've played, at least factoring in dev-effort vs artistic quality. You've really nailed it, in a minimalist, simple and concentrated form. GG!
I hope it will get sequel, it's too good to end like this. I know that is just the fantasies of mine, but... I kinda want to know what if Queen could arise and perhaps see the world outside of the castle, maybe even saw a hero again, who knows? But, that's only in hands of the Mosu, I guess...
I get what the game is going for, but when you get far enough in the hero simply refuses to even dodge and despite that still takes no damage. That and the somewhat unresponsive controls really drag the game down for me.
yeah i fully agree. the message was interesting but the clunky controls and overhanded delivering of said message with the awkward dialogue kind of failed to really deliver.
Wow, what an awesome little game :) the pixel art is gorgeous and I love the story being told <3 Absolutley appreciate this being free to play, deserves to be played by as many people as possible!
прекрасная игра. я давно задумывался над идеей бессмертности игрока и как это выглядит со стороны боссов и тд. очень рад, что кого-то тоже заинтересовал этот концепт, причем настолько, чтобы получить столь прекрасную реализацию. теперь это одна из моих любимых игрух на итч ио:)
Wow, what a great game. my only problem was that the hitbox for the first attack on the first phase didn't seem to work or it was just small and did not make sense. When i hit him right in the center it did not work and on the side it didn't work either. I kinda wished the queen and the hero would be friends at the end but then the hero stabbed the queen and I was like "Wow, did not see that coming!" Overall, great game.
I haven't played yet, when you will lauch on steam? I will love to see your game there...I am also a artist, so if you need help with any project I will glade help for free...I need some experience in the area and keep the good work :3 <3
I love this game. The writing is incredibly inspiring and it manages to communicate so much in such a short amount of time. The characters are incredibly compelling, the story has touched me deeply. It´s just so good and I´ve even written a fanfic about it, I love it i love it i love it so much!!
I would like to have an option where you about to give up, but when hero says something like "i will end your life for your own sake" you would STILL be able to use the mace(some bosses does that "betraying" move). The game itself is really good, i liked it and hope that it still will get little changes

Is this what toxic yuri feels like?
I really enjoy the music in this game. I wish the music was available to listen to online or in a sound test menu.
