The old hermit's apprentice
Controls:
Arrow keys: movement, Y/Z: jump, X: attack, I:inventory
For now the game doesn't have a respawn option, if you want to retry, you have to reload the game. This is going to change once the jam (Pirate Software 2024 July) ends if I decide to make this into a more fleshed-out game.

The concept is incredible, such a huge potential it has! These shadows, parallax and sprites is also nice, like the ambient sounds, good job.
But there are some things which should be fixed, like freezes on the start, strange effects after stabbing to the monsters, and their colliders (?). Also this game is hard a little, but because of attack things and parallax shadows personally for me. But still, nice work! :)
Loved the pixel art! Did you draw all the sprites?
I also agree that it's a really clever take on the theme. Congratulations!
Thank you very much. Yes, I made all the sprites, although the running animation was loosely traced over a (not pixel art) template.
Very clever take on the theme. Really like the look/feel you accomplished on the art direction. Very nice!
Thank you very much.
Cool (but hard) game :D
