Double Edged

Pretty fun little brawler. I like the art style and the dialogue made me laugh. Some constructive criticism: the combat feels basic. While multiple weapons and disarming enemies was cool, more player moves would help break up the monotony. Also, I've never been a fan of jump + attack for the special move on a keyboard. I inevitably end up doing a regular jump attack at some critical moment. As for score, I assume coins add to it? I'd like a score counter in the game window, in traditional arcade style, not just a total at the end. It would help to reveal how score is calculated. Finally, score resets when you go back to the map after clearing a level. Would it be possible to only reset upon death? I don't often have the hours of the free time it takes to clear the game from start to finish in one go, and having my score kneecapped because of it is unfortunate.

I really love this game. It is such a beautiful tribut to one of my favourite games from the early 90s - Golden Axe. Great boss fights and some unique chicken weapons :) 5/5

You pick up weapons with attack. You start with a sword. You can drop it or pick up other weapons, so some enemies drop the starting sword.

I love how you can change the keys.. nice game Nitrome, very refined.

Nice but upgrades and some kind of shop and would be even nicer:)
