It's a small yet charming little game that has ~30 minutes playtime. While I am giving it a positive review I would value this game at ~2 euro so unless it's on a 50% (or higher) sale it's likely not worth it.
Neat little game. Also the controller works just fine regardless of steam saying the game doesnt support it
Am i conceptually annoyed that the 'mini-vania' is a genre that people keep making games for? Yes. But did i have an alright half an hour or whatever getting through it? Yeah i did actually. And i'm charmed by it being a pico8 game. So like, i dunno. For the price? It was fun enough to make me happy. 31 reviews is brutal
Simple but brainy platformer. Great retro-styled pixel art and chiptune soundtrack.
This is a nice quick (45 minutes approx.) metroidvania-style experience. Feels good to play. Nothing particularly magical or unique about it.
Shadow King is not perfect... It's short, has low frame rate, some jump inputs don't work eventually and I think it's too reliant on the dash move. But I wish the developer can learn from it and make a sequel.
Small but fun little platformer game. Wish I could switch the jump and attack button, if there is a way I couldn't figure it out.
Pack a lot of game for 2.38 mbs.
its good
뭐지? 벌써 끝이야? 귀엽네 가볍게 플레이 하고 환불해볼 만한 게임??
