I love MaestroRage and all his music, but I dont know what to think of this really. I feel glad you gave me that 10 but it has never felt less deserving. Oh well, thank you MaestroRage :)

Glad you liked it :)
I still have to work on picking up items and respawning as well as things like upgrades. I simply have never made anything like that before. I'll try to put things like that into future games... I think they would be cool as well :)
Thanks for the review!

Yeah, the jumping has its uses like jumping over spike balls, but most of the time it is just useless really.

Like I said in a previous response,"Although I think I have improved a lot on my previous game (Swept to the End), I still need to get better. The reason why I made this so easy was mainly because most people complained that Swept to the End was way too difficult. (Its also a sidescroller) I dunno, maybe I made it a bit too easy this time. I've realised how to make the hit detection much better while making this game, but way too late in production to implement it into this game. It will have to wait for my next project Im afraid :)"

4?

Yeah in the second level where the credits start rolling up. That's quite a long part where you just have to run through forest for quite a while before you reach your first enemiy. I have been worrying about that level a lot while making this game and finally kept with my decision to leave the main character in peace and let him admire the sunrise while the credits roll up :)

Other levels I personally think are fine and not too stretched out between goals/enemies/events... Oh, and yeah this was meant to be a simple game and I though that 3 different attacks and a shield move would have been enough. I'll dream up some more moves when I ever make a sequel for this, or for that matter, when I make my next game. Thanks for your comments :)

Yeah you are right. I still have to work on improving combat scenarios in games,. Although I think I have improved a lot on my previous game (Swept to the End), I still need to get better. The reason why I made this so easy was mainly because most people complained that Swept to the End was way too difficult. (Its also a sidescroller) I dunno, maybe I made it a bit too easy this time. I've realised how to make the hit detection much better while making this game, but way too late in production to implement it into this game. It will have to wait for my next project Im afraid :)

Thanks a lot for your honesty and Im finding all these reviews extremely helpful!

Okay, thanks. Yeah this is definitely a simple game but I am really glad you found it fun and I am also just happy that this game works properly and plays smoothly. I though that 3 different attack moves and one shield move was enough for this one. With some enemies later in the game the secondary heavy attack move is much more effective than the quick slash with your sword, but it can be the other way around with other enemies as well :) Anyway, Im rambling a bit... Thanks for your review.

It is true that this game is easy. I didnt want to make it too difficult, because I simply dont think flash games should be that hard, but I understand that just hitting the A key over and over again can get boring. There are 2 other attack moves as well as a shield button. You have to shield every now and then if you dont want to get hurt, but with your health regenerating slowly, its not mandatory to do so. I learned a lot by making this game and I will definitely put more attacks or moves into next games. Thanks for the review man, I appreciate your input. One can learn much from people's constructive criticism.

It seems like everyone wants more moves and an upgrading system. I love the Paladin game. It was great! And yeah man I totally dig, more moves would make this better you are right and I will do that in the future now that I have learned a lot by making The Rise of a Knight. :)
Thanks for the review.

Yeah you have the same opinion than "Major-Blood" below here. For me, this game was quite ambitious and Im just happy that everything works smoothly, but I do agree with both of you. Glad you liked it :)

This game was quite hard to make and Im very glad you liked it :)
I do agree that more moves will make this even better and I will put that into the sequel of this game when I decide to make it. The music is great. I love MaestroRage and his alter ego MaestroSegments. I dont know how many alter ego's he has though. There might be many :)
Thanks again!
