10/10 dumb trainer is literally me frfr
art style ,animation, enemies ,combat mechanics all of them are great . great game and fun to play , But the commands needs more time to give the player a chance to react to it cuz it's hard to fight alot of enemies and read/do the commands at the same time .
played for 2 minites, fell intro the void, 10/10
i immediately clipped out of bounds before knowing anything about the game by right-clicking
did it look like this lol
a bit, but without the trainer because i didn't even get there (because it was unclear to me where to go)
oh
This was fun! The variety of enemies gives the game a difficulty that creates a fun challenge. The art style is really pleasing as well. My only complaint would be the speed at which the commands need to be met, otherwise, it was a nice experience.
9/10, short and sweet, fun and challenging
Really lovely game!!
a bit too easy but i love the art
Haha, this game was pretty fun! The fighting mechanics + SFX are satisfying and the aesthetics are colorful. But I couldn't do the "hiding behind a tree" command as the trainer always got mad lol.
yeah, the hide behind tree works occasionally, I guess it's supposed to work on sightlines or smth, also, the stand still thing counts as disobedience if you're hit, and if you flame dash then swipe on the flame dash one, then she gets mad
SO cute!! I love the concept and aesthetics.
This game is so cute and hilarious! I loved this! I was just confused at where to go at the start. Took me a second to realise I can go up through the bushes. Also the music stopped for a bit. The trainer is so cute and funny
Ditto! I tried everything and noticed the bushes seemed more penetrable than the other sides!
Took me two tries on the boss because I forgot some of the controls.
She told me to get hit as I won, this led to text boxes over lapping and being disowned after winning... great game despite the bug
Awesome game! There are a few bugs, I don't think music loops, but I absolutely love the style! Great job making it in only two days!
Huge fan of boxer bear lmao
It seems like you fail the "don't move" command if you get hit. Which isn't great, because getting hit due to not dodging is the exact reason WHY that command isn't the smartest. And the "hide behind a tree" command is a bit confusing to me. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Other than that, though, I had a ton of fun!!!
Very cool game! I love the art! I will say the screen shake was way to much for me so I had to stop but I enjoyed it up until that point!
The 'hide in a tree' command was confusing though- I didn't know how to! Plus I kept getting stuck on stuff xD
Cool idea, and the art is very nice. The screen shake from the birds was a bit hard
This is such a fun game!!! Entertaining gameplay, adorable graphics, pretty music, everything about this is great!!!
Great concept and amazing presentation! Very impressed :)
god daum she is really dumb xD. love the concept ! nice game
Made an account just to rate this awesome amazing game!
I love this game way too much, it's so cute!
Love this game! there is a clear sense of direction and a very cute idea. only suggestion is to add an indicator for which direction you're facing, since it matters for attack but there isn't a sprite for facing that direction.
Amazing! Everything looks great and cool concept. Would love to see this fleshed out more
Very cool! I feel some more mechanics could give this a lot of depth
Very fun game, love the artwork and the little critters in the game. very cool !!!
The art in this game, and the overall vibe of the game, is cute and peaceful. :D
