I was able to download and play. I like it. The dark outline around Kirby makes him stand out from the background, and looks really nice, imho. I ate the castle. Crounch!
This game was giving me RSI but I had to keep playing to try to win. Why didn't I think to play with a trackpad like Orange Flash? I like the aesthetics of this game -- the way it looks.
This was my 10-year-old daughter's favorite game from this jam. The mechanics are very good. The music is great. I also liked how there are so many different features: power-ups, two types of attack, map screen, health and mana bars, etc.
This game is outstanding on all levels. It really feels like you're defending a castle from invasion. The space bar speed up is an especially nice touch, as guigui pointed out.
The music is awesome! The game feels very immersive with all the parallax layers and background animations. I especially like the silhouette layer with all the people running around, and the ground stomp, and the jumping sound, and the music! And did I mention how much I liked the music?
This game is very challenging and a lot of fun! It's like trying to pat your head and rub your belly at the same time. ... while also clicking a mouse ... but only on the yellow boxes ... no wait, the blue ones!... Strangely, it's actually a lot easier on the faster speed. I loved the music and the beep sounds.
How to win this game..... Go into the code and make it so you don't die if the planets hit the butterfly. Then you can experiment with the physics as long as you want. Very cool.
Thanks both for the comments. Detros your insights are spot-on in terms of things to improve/expand, as well as elements that look good. I thought I had removed the explosion sounds. One week is such a challenging interval!
