There is definitely good work in this, but no fun or creativity. Maybe you should find an associate with better imagination.

Im sorry but i like to do the creative part but no one is willing to code for me so i need to attempt it myself :/
This is a game designed by someone who studied video games but doesn't enjoy them.
All the formula for a good side scrolling brawler are present, but without any ingenuity or creativity. The game design is dull, the controls are sub-standard, and the challenge non-existent. This is a game made by someone who knows what to do but not how or why.
Art was good but the animation was dull. The music was awful and repetitive (yes I know it was techno and dubstep but that doesn't mean 5 bars qualifies as a song.)
To put it bluntly this game is bad and it really doesn't have to be.

Iv really got to disagree with your oppinion, i would explain why but i rlly dont have to. I looked at your medals and you havent even found a single one of the secrets never mind the fact you actually got hit on the last boss 0_o. You judge a game when you havent even played it all, only the main story. You also say i dont enjoy games yet iv been inspired by games so much that i make my own ... well im sorry sir but if you dont like this then just say that. please dont try judge me when we havent even met - JUDGE THE GAME NOT ME.
The art was nice but for anyone who's played it, it's obviously a rip-off of Castle Crashers.
I'm not entirely sure how this got to the front page besides that fact alone.
The game just feels incomplete to me, like you got everything functional and then set it off without fine-tuning and testing things out. I agree with many of the other reviews: the hit boxes are off, it would make sense for a hit to push an enemy back, selecting a skill every time you go to a new screen is tedious, the fighting gets repetitive, there should perhaps be more attack options, etc.
In my opinion, this was meant to be some kind of an homage to Castle Crashers, a game which while entertaining is repetitive itself; but you took away the things that made it entertaining (which I will grant are harder to develop and code and I assume that's why they were left out) and left a very watered-down game.
I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to be constructive and offer my opinion.
I think you and this game show a lot of promise, the idea is there, the art and design are there, but it's not finished yet. If you spend more time on it offering the players more customization, more options, and smoother gameplay, then this game would be fantastic! Worthy of 5-stars any day.
As it stands though, not a fan. :/

the art and engine are inspired by castle crashers ... 0_o
im also working on the engine so you will see an improvement some time :P
this is a good game but: the bosses are so easy the final boss is suppousted to be hard but is easy
rhys510 responds:
I think the boss` are fine just how they are but im sorry for the last boss being to easy :/
The game was ok, as stated before it was definitely simple and and easy but you've stated you aren't very good at coding yet so for a first run game it's not that bad. My only real complaint is I've beaten the game and I don't even know what the 5th power was. I got it, then it was taken away immediately before i even used it. Might have been better to wait until you reach the top of the tower to lose them.
rhys510 responds:
i see what you mean - that skill was going to be a transforming skill but the boss uses it at the end instead as for its 2nd form :P
