There is one issue with this game... its TOO EASY, SECOND TRY BABY (if you don't believe that i've beaten hollow knight with controller drift to 108% and i have a laggy laptop so i played in slow mo) i HEAVLY suggest playing this if you like hollow knight the only real issue is its quite short. Thanks devs, JUD JAME!
So found a glitch where killing the tonged boss just crashes the game I think it has something to do with speed because both times I had a broken build and killed it very fast but im not sure
Pretty solid all around, and that new boss was cool as well
That said, I feel like the sprite layer of the projectiles from the 3rd boss should be above that the of the boss. I ended up taking quite a lot of damage because I couldn't really see why I was taking damage.
I also think that the colour of the projectiles could be a little different from the environment. Mostly because they kinda blended into the environment sometimes
This also applied to the final boss quite a lot. Everything was red to the point that the boss, it's attacks, the player and the player's attacks all just kinda blended together at times.
I also think the game is maybe a little too forgiving now ? Maybe the player could take slightly more damage with every hit, just to ensure that they can't just tank themselves through the game. Admittedly I kinda did that in some places
Also, just a small suggestion, but maybe a successful stab for health could increase your combo meter depending on the amount of blood you absorbed
All things considered, the update is pretty great overall. Solid work on this.
The game is good, I cleared it in about 2 hours (because of the first boss, when I defeated him, I didn't die anymore), I hope there will be more such games.
Heyope, this ended up being in my favourite itch games of 2024 (place 6).
I really like boss battles and this game has some fun ones. Especially the last boss seemed insanely interesting. Though sadly I didn't beat it because of how long replays took.
Maybe I'll get around to it now.
Anyways I gave the game a little shoutout on my yearly Blogpost. And I would absolutely donate 8 Bucks if you had them open.
Anyways, sorry for the second comment just to advertise my Blogpost, your other games are looking real good too I'm really excited to find the time to play them.
Really neat game, I wish the controls were different since as a left-handed person I never use WASD for movement. Using the arrow keys for it and z/x/c for actions would be much more preferred. Controller support even moreso.
Thats really fair, if you dont mind coming back when we release our rework by the end of this month and checking out the changes it would mean a lot! Thanks for playing!
The game is really good, I look fordward to playing the update once it comes. My only complaint is that the game glitches and softlocks every other run, so it's really annoying and frustrating to play.
This game is awesome! Trying to say this without spoiling anything, are you supposed to be able to interact with that NPC at the end of the game or is there only the one ending?
Beautiful art, love the gameplay and variety of gameplay or risk in these games. The style is perfect, right up my alley. Great job and love everyone who worked on this project. 11/10
I really like the aesthetic and overall gamefeel. For my personal taste, I would tune down the vibration a bit. Had some crashes that seem to be related to absorbing blood while the the enemy changes state or something like that, I'm sure it will be fixed :)
why do you say that? We are planning to do a major rework and cleanup of the game, and we'd love to fix everything that was broken in this 1 month long project!
alr am not saying its bad its really good project alright, but i just find it really hard to procced in each levels,maybe if u could add checkpoints after few bosses. (also sorry for my Vulgar expression)
Thank you.
i hope you find this comments as a forgiving letter.
this was a super quickly put together game, we might expand it in the future if enough people like this coming free update we might put a full game on steam.

Found a glitch!
On The Grub, it is possible for it to gain enough speed to exit the map and softlock the game!
The way I did this was to use Masochistic Rain (A+, but any highish rank works here.)
After covering the room in blood, wait for the bouncing ball attack and absorb.
Occasionally, the spikes will continuously hit Grub until it exits the map.
oh man thats insanely broken! gonna have to make a maximum speed for it then, thanks for the report!
first boss easy
second boss hell
i don't now how to pass the first room
i don't even get in the first boos someone help me pl
does this game have controller support? if so im most certainly willing to play it
it most certainly does!!! Rebinds also work for all inputs so play exactly how you’d like!!
ok does it work with xbox controller only or also playstation *im using a unofficial playstation controller*
originally tested with Xbox unsure about playstation
ok great game btw ive played it now
i only just realised you made til depth do us part great game
by the way please make it so you dont have to choose a buff after every boss
WOAH that’s a new one! You killed the boss so fast the tongue lost track of the boss haha
I agree very funny
Very cool game, but funny stuff happens when you get S+++ blot clot active item user and hornets (says -0.50 sec cooldown and means it)
yup I love the chaos that the new upgrades create! Thanks for playing!
Just played the latest update

Im a fan of your game and art! I would like to give you a cameo in my game. Let me know if you are interested. The game is https://store.steampowered.com/app/3299850/The_Last_Phoenix/
The game is good, I cleared it in about 2 hours (because of the first boss, when I defeated him, I didn't die anymore), I hope there will be more such games.
same feeling as in dark souls: I want to break my screen
loved it
you solo developed it ?
Nope, there is a small team behind it!
Really cool ! Is it from a game jam ?
yup! This is a jam game!
when was the rework coming out
Next week :)
working hard to put the final touches

Using the arrow keys for it and z/x/c for actions would be much more preferred. Controller support even moreso.
hey there! Thanks for playing, sorry about the controls, the game wil have both controller support and key rebinding when we release upgrade rework!
A game about Inmost's knight. Awesome, but really buggy
I really should play inmost not gonna lie. Sorry for the bugs everything should be patched out along side our new content releasing very soon.
yo thanks for the warning didnt see it till too late lol
Oops! Sorry about that. Come back soon it has been fixed in our overhaul of the game, which will be out soon!
Are there gonna be more bosses in the update because right now it feels kinda short
yes there will be at least 2 bosses plus some redesigned fights! Plus completely reworked upgrades!
great game but i had some problems, could'nt beat the second boss got when i got the "more attack speed less damage" perk, but overall is really fun
Thats really fair, if you dont mind coming back when we release our rework by the end of this month and checking out the changes it would mean a lot! Thanks for playing!
Oh don't worry, I will defo be back for more
the game crashed when the cave mole thing atacked me while i was healing
yes that’s a known bug we’ve fixed in our update coming soon
the game is cool but what the fuck are these controls
they’re keyboard only controls, if you have a preferred control scheme let me know!
i would have mapped jump to z, slash to x, dash to c and heal to shift if thats what you asked but id rather there be remappable controls pls
WOw.. amaizing.
Super fun game! I really like the feel of the controls and the music. I'm hooked
just kidding.
Why so salty?
Matt stole 3 lines of code from me...
Very fun! I love the blood mechanic
The game is really good, I look fordward to playing the update once it comes. My only complaint is that the game glitches and softlocks every other run, so it's really annoying and frustrating to play.
Completely understand that those softlocks and crashes get irritating, it should all be ironed out soon!
Eh.
3rd boss makes me wanna jump off a bulding, nice!
The second phase is soo annoying
oh yea the second phase is a pain in the ass should be easier in the update coming a month or so from now!
Maybe for you guys.
Fun! It motivated me to participate in the 2025 Boss Rush Jam as i was skeptical as i make 2d games. Nice!
This game is awesome! Trying to say this without spoiling anything, are you supposed to be able to interact with that NPC at the end of the game or is there only the one ending?
right now only one well back with a content update end of Feb hopefully we can sneak another ending for that update
still waiting...
Is it the end of february?
Stellar game, very fun to speedrun, is there multiple endings?
Not as of now. It was intended but was cut for time might appear when we update it
Beautiful art, love the gameplay and variety of gameplay or risk in these games. The style is perfect, right up my alley. Great job and love everyone who worked on this project. 11/10
the game is cool and question the game kick you for dying?
Happened to me the first time but doesn't seem to be a problem anymore.
AMAZING GAME AND THE DESIGN IS JUST EPEIC I LOVED THE OVER ALL GAME PLAY AS WELL NO WONDER IT IS IN THE TOP 5
I really like the aesthetic and overall gamefeel. For my personal taste, I would tune down the vibration a bit. Had some crashes that seem to be related to absorbing blood while the the enemy changes state or something like that, I'm sure it will be fixed :)
really cool game, the movement feels quite smooth and fluid
sadly had some bugs and crashes but the game has a lot of potential. I really enjoyed it, gj! PLEASE KEEP WORKING ON IT!
expect a fresh update February! all bugs should be fixed and more bosses!
nice game
what an ass game
why do you say that? We are planning to do a major rework and cleanup of the game, and we'd love to fix everything that was broken in this 1 month long project!
alr am not saying its bad its really good project alright, but i just find it really hard to procced in each levels,maybe if u could add checkpoints after few bosses. (also sorry for my Vulgar expression)
Thank you.
i hope you find this comments as a forgiving letter.
an beautiful imagine of a skinnies streamer ever
skill issue lol
cmon now, that aint cool
probably salty cause he couldn't get past the first boss. this game is totally a 4/5 star game!
Awesome game!, idk if the crash in the third boss occurs i at every game but it was good! make more games like this but longer! is this game on steam?
this was a super quickly put together game, we might expand it in the future if enough people like this coming free update we might put a full game on steam.
could tell.
Awesome game, sad its so short.
This game is super fun! it crashed during the fly boss for me tho, which was a shame
So sorry to hear that! Hopefully when our team finds free time we’ll patch it up and add some more content :)
Thanks for playing!!
