The Alone Sword

Skelengar no worries! Glad there were things you liked about. With the controls I was really trying to do something a bit different, takes some getting the hang of but it can be really satisfying. If you didn't even get the sword you won't have had too much fun though :o) Skelengar thanks man!

HEY! If you guys like this, please let other people know to play it. 230 plays isn't very many for something I poured a lot of TLC into. To be honest I (really) don't mind if people don't like it, as there are a lot of valid reasons for that, but it's sort of disappointing that more people haven't played it... Particularly as even really crappy games I've UL'd had more plays. Well anyhow I think it's because Kong reorganized their main page to not show a lit of new games.

Okay again TY for the feedback, everybody!

The hitbox for the Remains really needs to be bigger, especially given how floaty the controls are.

I personally really liked it. The controls take some getting used to, but they're not that bad.

I just realized I was very harsh, and didn't mention the many good points. I really like the art direction, the entire thing has an air of spooky Lovecraftian-ness which does a great job of bringing back my memories of the original Zelda where each screen beyond the starting one held wondrous and terrible beings. The story (what little I saw) seemed to be very engaging. I look forward to seeing your further work.

Thanks for the comments folks! The sliding motion is of course key to the way the game works, but maybe could have been toned down a bit.
