Not bad
Well it was deffinatly not bad, but I just don´t like these kinda games that much. I always get very annoyed by those narrow passages. When I rest my hand, my mouse always moves a little so that I always hit the wall and that happened to me many times while I was playing this game. Those rivers with logs annoyed me even more. I did managed to get past the first one (about level 8 I think), but the second one was way too diffecult. Luckily the "right mouse button => Play"-trick worked here =)
Anyway, there was still some good stuff in this, some things I haven´t seen before in these kinda games. Gathering the sword and shield was new to me. I liked that a lot, although I think you should´ve added some more logs and enemies so that you use them more often. The second thing I liked was that there was a boss in this game. He wasn´t too diffecult though, you just have to hit him three times and that´s it. I was thinking, maybe you should be able to cut his legs instead of it´s head. I think that would be cool and it takes some more hits to defeat him then. The moving across rivers was also new to me, but as I mentioned above, I didn´t liked that much. The leaves were alright though.
Some ideas to improve this:
-Add some different music. The current music was a little weird. The boss theme was okay.
-Maybe you should add some more different areas in this like caves, beaches, mountains, swamps etc. You could for example add some lava next to the path when you´re in the cave.
-More stuff to collect is always nice. I was thinking about keys to open doors or gates with.
Overall 6 out of 10, 3 out of 5. Well like I said I don´t like these kinda games much, but I can see you´ve putted quite some work in it and you had some good ideas. Expand it a bit more, improve it a little at some places and I´m sure it will stand a good chance to win an award. Keep it up.
