This game absolutely rocks. It feels a bit like Shovel Knight in how it plays and the dialogue and everything. So so good! If you're still planning on further development, good luck! You've nailed it as far as what you've already done.
I agree with some of the other comments I'm seeing below about the boss fights feeling a bit flat. But I also get the time crunch for Jams and just how complicated coding a single boss fight can be in comparison to the rest of the game.
Aside from that the basic gameplay is so satisfying. Challenging, but not brutal. Artwork, sound, and music is also really stellar!
Thanks for playing and taking the time to leave a comment! I've been working on a new demo and used all the feedback I got about level design and bosses, so hopefuly you also get to play the new demo soon :)
Hi, I really enjoyed your demo, I do a weekly live in French on homebrews and I'm thinking of dedicating one to your demo, is it ok for you?
Then I saw that you're probably going to release a color version in your devlog, so if you want to tell me more so I can talk about it on the live it would be a pleasure :) If you want, we can talk about it privately, or on twitter or something, I'm already following you, I'm “@jvperso”.

Captivating game with a dark retro aesthetic! Beautiful and complet work! You've made me travel back to my youth ^^ <3
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it.
Made a video
Fun game though I'm having trouble understanding how to save my progress. Everytime I leave the game I have to start over
Hello! There's a book statue in every room before the each boss, and there's one in town, outside the library, you have to interact with them to save the game. Are you playing the browser version? Save/Load should work, check if you have the cookies allowed in this site.
Amazing piece of work here! The graphics and music are great, I absolutely love your HUD (nice DOOM reference with the character portrait) and menu design. Everything about this oozes quality, well done!
Thank you so much for playing! Glad you liked it, I worked really hard on the graphics, specially on the UI.
I don't play that many GB studio games, just because they all fell kinda same-ish, but I knew I have to try this one as soon as I saw the screenshots. I absolutely love all the designs and atmosphere of the game. The level design and gameplay is really fun as well.
Only thing that was little bit of a letdown are the boss battles. All of them were little bit too easy and basic. But I understand that this was a Jam go with strict deadline.
I am really looking forward to your next project.
Btw. I once got this error when existing the START menu. Not sure what caused it.
Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you liked it.
Yeah I decided to make the boss battles like that, originally they had 2 phases, but I realized I didn't have enough time to polish them on time so I had to cut a lot of content, including that. It's something I definitely want to improve If I go back to work in this game again.
Thanks for the screenshot, it's the first time I see that error, I'll do some research about it.
How do I click the new game button, I moved the cursor over and hit Enter but it's not going. Halp, I am dumb.
Press J :)
Thanks
I love it so far, I think I need to download it. I got a lil input lag.
The aesthetics of this game are amazing, I love it!
Bat thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it :)
Super cool!! Could you export a .pocket file
Thanks for playing, sure! I'll let you know when I do, I'm fixing some bugs first.
.pocket file is up! :)
Beautiful and polished!
Thank you so much for playing, glad you liked it!
nice
Thanks for playing!
I had so much fun playing this. At first I just wanted to get in and destroy stuff as a monster, or shotgun-wielding nun, but I found myself getting attached to the story and setting. It's rich and has lots of pages to find, weapons to upgrade, and keys to grab! Thanks for such a fun experience Bard, I'll be back to play more soon.
Hey thank you so much for playing and for the kind comment!
This is such an awesome experience! So inspiring! I love everything you've done with this! the UI is clean and easy to read, the gameplay simple but engaging and the visuals!! Stunning!
Gem thank you so much for trying the game, I'm glad you liked it!
