The movement feels sooo satisfying!
I loved the animations, the music is a bop, the speedrunning idea is great, the visuals are pretty too, the writing and visual gags are super well done, I loved that intro segment! This is great, I struggled at the end cause I am bad at video games but I gotta appreciate every element of this, short, sweet, perfect.
Incredible lol, the cutscenes and dialogue were so funny. Really creative idea.
The little dialog scene at the start of escaping absolutely cracked me up, amazing game!
This is an absolute masterpiece. Great story, fun mechanic, cute art. Amazing job on this
thank you so much for playing!!
this is so amazing, it really feels like a full game, the animations are super smooth, got my 5 starts all round
that is very kind, thanks! :)
The aim controls as said by others were a lil wonky, but the gameplay was awesome. I liked the varying routes possible - it really added some old school sonic vibes to things. The animation work was brilliant too - and the intro cinematic was top notch.
It nails that old school silly vibe. A sonic-style platformer about a toy escaping a factory is a great premise, and the sound/voice work design was really awesome too. I had a blast playing this.
Great game. Aiming was a bit difficult. I don’t think it’s a problem of the controls though. Just add more indication to where we are aiming and it’ll be good. My only other complaint is that it’s too short.
The cinematics in this game are so amazing, I don't have much feedback to give other than the camera controls changing when you are winding up from the normal seemed a bit weird, I think I'd have liked to still be able to use my mouse to direct the way I'm facing during the wind ups, and that I couldn't get the in air dash in both of my playthroughs unfortunately, really wish there was more... Awesome stuff!
I also dont think I praised the smoothness and squishiness of the animation all across the board enough, super sick
It's a sin that this game has so few ratings. The only thing I have to say is: gimme more Good Knight, gimme a 90+ hour campaign Good Knight, gimme mobile Good Knight, gimme local co-op Good Knight, make Good Knight into a plushie so I can buy it!!!!11!!!!11!
Joyful game, reminded me of a certain era of PS1 (or maybe 2? it was some time ago) games where they released all sorts of whacky platformers.
The controls/camera felt a little fighty at times, but it was a worthwhile battle to keep my little guy moving.
The art, especially the box with the plastic thingy over it, was so satisfying for some reason, really great job on that and the voice acting was peak.
Brilliant entry!
Dang the Discord was right, this game needs more ratings, the opening cinematic was amazing. Props to yall's team
i loved this! hope more people find this
this game is AWESOME! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT ONLY HAS 10 RATINGS????!? ITS SO GOOD! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! My only complaint for this game is literally for it being too short which is more of a compliment than a complaint tbh. Sounds are great, visuals are awesome, narrative are great, I love the voice acting and everything. This is such a SERIOUS game! Overall, I had SO MUCH FUN with this one, please develop it more... pls.....
THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!
I'm gonna tell everyone to play this cuz it deserves way more attention, it was so well made and fun to play, it ran buttery smooth, the voice acting was amazing too. I LOVED THIS!!! This might be my new favorite game so far!
IT So Good i loved IT i think its better to put the steering on the mouse Look 5 Start ALL very Serious
This is Really Lovely Hope More ppl find this out !
That was an EXPERIENCE. Fantasic intro. I have one question tho, can it walk?
You can make it walk!
splendid
Nice game with a whole lot of polish, seems like you all managed the scope of this very well!
The commercial and dialogue at the start was sooooo entertaining, and the model for the little guy was so cute. While I had some issues with the gameplay because it lagged a lot on my laptop, the presentation of this one is off the charts, and the character feels really nice to control. Level design was pretty interesting, although I never figured out if you can die or not, despite it seeming like there were hazards.
