Great game, decent beat-em-up with standard mecanics but fun to play. Anyone else threw their sword at the start and lost it?

I am finishing up the game and I'm really enjoying it. The boss fights are... strange I guess is how I would describe them. Very round-a-bout. If I could make a suggestion, if you could alter the mechanics for the sprint; it would have made my time spent playing it much more enjoyable. As it stands now, it is frustrating the seeming unpredictability that sprint has. When trying to ease forward by pressing the forward button by delayed taps, the game often registers the sprint command so you find yourself dashing into whatever it was you were attempting to avoid. Other times it seems that taps occur in a succession that does not activate sprinting. Nothing like a leisurely walk and hop into the jaws of a hungry zombie. My suggestion would be to use a key combination if possible. Shift or Ctrl + Arrow key.

Played it back in the day and I remember thinking it was pretty cool and even exceptional for its time. I recommended it to friends and it probably became one of my favorite flash games.
Played it again now over a decade later on a whim and I'm sad to say it was an agonizing experience almost through and through with little redeeming qualities besides the art style and a couple of cute and clever things in it. Not much satisfaction to be had by finally finishing it and overcoming the obstacles I was frustrated with. Ah well. I guess not everything and every game ages well in time. I do hope the creators will keep working and find better platforms than newgrounds. Maybe maxgames or such. and make a new project which we can all enjoy and contribute to. Thanks. Much love to the hard working developers despite the douchey parts and snarky nonsense like the mom comment at the end of the credits lol. Peace ♥

I am starting to suspect that my weapon is underpowered for the last boss. How do I go back and redo an earlier level? Please don't tell me, I have to start from the beginning. That's instant carpal tunnel syndrome right there.

Hell, I can't get the other Easter Weapons! I keep finding the Key Sword, that is waaaay too slow, it's almost useless...

This Game is fun.
But seriously the higher level are VERY EXTREMELY DIFFICULT!!!
No Mistake shall be made, otherwise if fall to gutter = DEAD!!! (why not instead reduce health by a portion). The BOSS is extremely tiring.

Things that ruin this game: hit-detection is badly off. Picking up fruit is almost impossible on zombie level - you stand still, spam the fruit button, and 4 times in 5 it refuses to pick up. Bounce-back on hit pushes you much too far compared to how little space there is, so you often pinball back and forth among obstacles. And finally: RSI from hitting the s key all the time.

Guys, don't rate this game down because it's slow. It loads faster after time, and you can change to slow, on the options screen.

An even more effective method to kill the zombie boss: take the gun, shoot till he's close, throw fruit at him, avoid charge, shoot some more, throw the gun at him, finish him off with the slingshot. Quick and rather simple win.

Ok for the second Boss! Go to the top of the screen and when it starts to rumble on screen run straight down to the bottom. He will throw a spear and miss every time!! Simply grab it up move about mid screen and throw it at him right as he gets to you, grab up your weapon quickly and attack like crazy! He is really simple I promise!

so this game really needs a "checkpoint" system because i am REALLY tired of playing half through a level to die and the end and repeat it.

So i finally get the gnome king to below 20% health, and its an easy win. He hits me and it glitches me out of the game screen. That's cool.

Here is a better strategy for boss 3: Pick up the fruit and press D to throw it in the guys mouth. He will stop to chew on it. While he is chewing you will deal more damage. After a few hits he will jump to the other end of the platform and charge at you. Dash jump over him and repeat this. The strategy above does not work on hard mode but this does. + this so people can see it.

Jesus. That boar boss is awful. Terrible collision, tedious, too-long battle and weird condition that doesn't make much of a nod toward logic.
Overall, this game needs a lot more polish. Also, please allow the player to customize controls.

To make the boar gnome drop the spear: Stand at the top of the screen. As soon as the screen starts to rumble, move down to the bottom of the screen. This will "pre-dodge," the boar gnome will be moving across the top of the screen, and you will already be at the bottom when he gets onto the field. Pre-dodging is a requirement for the guy to drop the spear, and he will drop it nearly every time.

Love the game, hate the controls... There are too many buttons. Up, down, left, right, space, W, A, S, D, E... There may be more, I don't know.
Many of those buttons I don't really use. For example, I haven't used the up and down arrow keys other than platforming (which is a pain) and I feel like the game wouldn't lose anything being a side scroller. The dash and dash attacks are quite finicky. Sometimes I double tap and it doesn't work. In the heat of battle, that can be costly.
I'm just nitpicking though. Overall, it's pretty good. 4/5 for me.

Larry and the Gnomes = Castle Crashers Minus spells, a leveling system, or equipment (The majority of the crap you find is garbage and there is no reason to equip anything but what the bosses drop or the very rare occasional better drop which if you accidentally throw it you've just screwed yourself over). . . Really needs these elements

yes yes yes i've found the easiest way to beat the second boss....ok
so stay at the top of the map, then when you first hear him charge move the the bottom of the map and move left or right (avoid spear)
then stand next to your main weapon and throw a spear so he lands very close to you, pick up your weapon and bash him :P
repeat
(clever move bye the developer, the bull charges in a straight line, we just can't see it).

here is a much quicker way to defeat the 2nd boss. On that level there will be a wizard and after you kill him you'll get a green wand with stats 4 damage and 30 acid damage. after you throw the spear at the boss use the wand against him for massive damage

I have an Easier way to kill the Zombie Boss (Gnome Arena In Forest), First, start out with a good weapon, sprint, jump and attack, he jumps up, when he falls down and runs after you, sprint jump again, but dont attack, wait for a person to throw fruit at you, pick it up (E) and throw it at the Zombie (D), It will start eating it, quickly pick up your weapon and hit it as many times as you can, After it is done eating the fruit, It will jump up, Repeat the Process. (Plus Up if this helped and you want to help other people
:D)

Nice game but I find the difficulty is too cheap on the later levels with all those spinning bladey things. After restarting the level umpteen times I'm just about ready to throw my keyboard at someone.

first impression: nice, we can kill sound before anything else!
second impression: woa the game is still singing intro's and speeches. i didn't even click start yet...
