Horned Knight

Just beat the second world of this game and I'm bored. The pixel art and controls of the game are pretty good but everything else is very run of the mill and by the numbers. I know this was only made by one person and I'm sure he put lots of work into it, but it's so tedious. Every level looks exactly the same, there are only 4 enemies I've seen so far, the music is bland and forgettable and the sound effects are the absolute worst I've ever heard. There are like four sounds in the whole game. Just inexcusable in 2021. If you compare this to Electronic Super Joy (another platformer made by one person) it just makes this seem like it was made in month by a college student. This could have been good on gameboy in 1995 but it's just crazy underwhelming by today's standards.

Look, the game isnt perfect, its not high-standards, but it wasnt terrible. A great early project, i hope the developer learns a lot from this and will be able to create Lucas Pope Level Games one day :). There are the bones of a great idea in here somewhere.

Un juego garciosete, sin muchas pretensiones, a un precio muy barato y perfecto para Steam Deck. Es que es tan poquita cosa que da hasta palo decir algo malo de él. ¡Apoyad a más desarrolladores indies y quejaros menos, coñe!

I bought this because it was on offer for me and my friend for the lols I've also played this on Playstation and it is a good game but on both our games, when we die on lvl 26 the guy turns red and just freezes on the check point. Tried reinstalling etc but nothing seemed to fix it... waste of £0.81 Haha fix this and I'll change it to positive

Very good

Awesome little action platformer that you can 100% by the end of the first world!

5/10 This game is neither bad nor outstanding, I think it does what it sets out to do. Dungeon platformer in pixel art style, its easy at times and a challenge at others…though the ability to always retry is more than fair. An achievement of any kind would be nice for completing the levels as “perfect”, but its not a huge deal. As an entry into game making, Id say the creator did a great job and I hope it’s fuelled a fire to create more. I would recommend it to fans of oldschool gaming with an open mind, would not to anyone else.

I will recomend this just by the effort. Its not a bad game, but honestly, I think you shouldn't skip or ignore the playtesting feedback. This game can be easily be improved a lot with 1 month of polishment and testing.

starting off by saying i truly enjoyed playing up to the point of the issue, as mentioned in another review lvl 26 on hard mode is bugged. when you die you respawn red like you just took a hit and are unable to move after, happens on all the checkpoints. we have tried everything to resolve to no success. i would love to complete the game and change my review if this ever gets fixed as it really is a great platformer aside from this issue.
