I love this game, because it actively ENCOURAGES two players, since some attacks are nearly, if not completely impossible to dodge in single player. I like it! It's unconventional!

About
Freezing Knights is my first real attempt at creating a game. It took about 7 months to develop and was mainly inspired by that one RPG series with two plumbers🐢.
It originally released as part of the Twelve Days of Pico-8 Christmas 2022 event.
The game was made in the Pico-8 fantasy console, and is therefore limited to a 128x128 resolution and 16 colors.

The full source code is available on GitHub.

JESUS CHRIST THIS GAME IS HARD EVEN ON NORMAL
(take out enemies as fast as possible, Fire Staff and Great Sword does that best, and you want to prioritize the supports, as they will prolong the fights. Hope it helped :D)
Excelente juego es muy entretenido y divertido
I thinks the jumping has unbalanced, Sometimes fast jumping was damaged.
This concept looks ok and the gimmicks are interesting enough, but it looks a bit boring if some players started unworth using the item.
