That health💀


I hit him 1 time more and he was still live, from this picture he has 2 more hits die

Please, try to do a multiplayer one :(

It's very cool game and imagine playing with players, in the first time you don't get it but less than 5 tries is too easy


Whatever, very cool game!

 It was even more fun when I imagined the game as a battle between the undefeated champion gladiator and the Black Knight, the strongest in the country's knighthood!

Amazing! Very fun, just the right amount of hard.

great, you should make more like this

(+1)

(+1)

EPIC :)

(+1)

The game is fun

Tip: If you wait until the black knight performs the dashing blockable move, start dashing until you reach a wall and then block it. It will get him stuck.

it got me stuck no help that tip bad

edit: block right after dashing only then the knight will get stuck

edit2: you need to block on the same frame that the night does the  dodgeable attack

I loved learning the parttern 10/10 :)

while i was trying to beat it without hitting once, i spotted a pattern in first few moves: unblockable, blockable, unblockable. Enjoyed the game!

(+1)

theres no pattern i saw the knight do unblockable unblockable in the first phase

(+1)

it did take a while but i beat it only getting hit once

(+2)

this is really hard 😂11/10

(+1)

amazing feel. Easy to get into, hard to master

(+1)

I don’t enjoy soulslikes personally but this was fun

(+1)

The HP was very generous so I could tank a load of hits. Still prefer Nok Out *slightly*

(+2)

Hi, nice game i love it!!! :D

some tutorial ?? im creating my boss fight but im new :/

(+1)

Nice combat system and pretty fun to play, having to alternate between blocking and dodging.

I was hoping something else after defeating the knight though.

I like the environment, but I think the parallax scrolling would benefit from being more "pixel" by "pixel" snappy, because it makes the background a bit distracting when moving.

how the shit did you make a better souls boss then the entire last half of eldenring?

(+1)

Great game, I always love quick combat games like this. All the attacks were telegraphed really well and it felt good to learn the boss's patterns. I also really liked that the boss got a few new attacks as the fight went on. Nice job!

(+1)

Very satisfying mechanic, had a blast playing! 5 Stars (if I were allowed to vote) ... And really scratches that Dark Souls itch:

Challenge --> Die --> Train  --> Die some more --> Mastering controls --> Die cuz being reckless --> Win (with 1 HP left)

(+2)

Sounds accurate.

Really cool game, I've never played any dark souls games, but I don't think I want to after playing this.

Uh, I just died and killed the Black Knight!

No hit run!!!

(+1)

Thanks for playing :)

Yep, anytime.

(+1)

this is pretty fun

(+1)

Really cool! Souls vibes. I love the 3D walls and the gameplay is intuitive and fun. Could make a nice boss rush game

(+2)

It was stronger than the Dark Souls Black Knights  xd.

(+1)

very cool
