Rose and Locket

I played the demo, it was amazing, I bought the full game, still amazing, until wrath fires a projectile then the game crashes, EDIT: I fixed the issue with my older hardware and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I love this game, there a are a few complaints I have but not serious enough to list, great little game if you like platformers and a good short story

Straight up, I've been waiting a few years for this game to come out, so I was going in with an expectation of liking it. I enjoyed myself so much. The graphic novel art style is captivating and beautiful until the end. The voice acting is great. I really enjoyed the variation in the level design and, having played the demo quite a few times, was pleasantly surprised by some of it. I played on Bad (Normal), and found it quite challenging, particularly enemy placement sometimes spawning guys on my head, but trying new strategies always got me through things in the end. Played it on Steam Deck and didn't seem to have any egregious issues. Twice, after using a special attack, the game suddenly slowed down to half speed (which actually made things way easier to dodge projectiles lol) but fixed itself as soon as I progressed to the next screen. I think if you've played the demo, you know what you're in for, so check that out first if you're not sure.

LOVE THIS GAME! So glad it finally launched. Very stylish and fun. My only issue is with some of the moving stages such as the GREED and SLOTH fights. Movement feels slow and tight on your riding companions making it feel impossible to avoid certain enemies or obstacles. Additionally, winning the inner train portion of the Greed feels completely up to chance as there appears to be no pattern between the flaming floor and enemy generation. I hope this is helpful. Still enjoying the game and hoping for some light tweaks and retooling. You guys did GREAT

Striking style and decent gameplay. The art and overall level-design and presentation are very pretty. The voice acting is also fantastic. Gameplay-wise I enjoyed the shooting and jumping but there were some annoying and frustrating moments. The game does feel like it was a bit rushed at points - some areas and bosses feel fleshed out, while others just come and go or are mushed together instead of getting their own domain. Each fight or area does feel unique, and the game never repeats itself or feels boring, which is a major plus. Not sure if more game would've made it better, as I was already getting a bit annoying with some levels, but it would've definitely made it feel like a more complete experience. Some boss fights took too long, and some areas felt annoying to navigate through, but as a whole this is a good-looking and fun indie game.

I just beat Rose And Locket and really ended up enjoying this game more than I ever thought I would! I'm not a big fan of this style of game but what honestly drew me into even wanting to play it was the art style. I thought it was an incredibly beautifully made game. I loved how creative the scenes were, where it at times felt like walking through a comic book. The fights, while more difficult later on, were so well done that it never felt unfair! Even though I was playing on easy mode it was still challenging!! I also loved Rose's character design, she was so cool. Really cannot emphasize enough how awesome the art of this game is. Great job here Whistling Wizard, y'all knocked it out of the park!! I hope y'all give this game a chance and consider wishlisting it and buying it yourself. If someone like me who doesn't like this style can play it and enjoy myself then I know more people could feel that way. Really hidden gem of a game.

Amazing levels challenging but fun and not too hard.

Cool game. Incredibly creative visuals and boss fights. Gameplay feels satisfying and challenging enough on hard difficulty. Some parts were a little frustrating. Game is a little short but doesn't drag on so probably buy on sale.

Your reaction times will be tested! Insanely pretty game with a simple but satisfying combat system. Very good.

Rose And Locket è un gioco incredibilmente pulito e menomale, visto che richiede al giocatore di non commettere troppi errori. Un action platform come non se ne vedono spesso, ricco di luci e colori, ma soprattutto con un impianto stilistico di primissimo ordine, se vi piace l'atmosfera da spaghetti western mischiata con quella del folklore messicano questo titolo non dovete proprio farvelo scappare! A livello di idee il gioco è molto ben pensato, i nemici hanno caratteristiche molto diverse d'approccio fra sè e le boss fight sono interessanti e non frustranti.

Enjoyed the art and storyline. Some sections seemed to have an arbitrary spike in difficulty, but still enjoyable.
