I'm glad I checked the comments about the wall-jumping thing, but when I got to the boss, I couldn't stab him. Unless I'm missing something, all I could do was jump all over him. The atmosphere and overall look of the game was great, though.

For a while, I was uncertain why you were having this trouble, and then I realized it was because the S key was not coded the same as the down arrow when it came to the stabbing. I'll fix that problem and have the update out in a few hours. Thank you for the feedback!
I found the game alright, thankfully I read the review section and found out about the stamina bar crouch thing. It worked well in shadow of the colossus (Which I believe the game takes inspiration from, especially with the boss fight) but it was highlighted within that game that running out of stamina made you fall, where else in this game running out of stamina did not visually effect anything and it wasn't made clear that wall jumping required stamina (At least for most people, I'm a bit biased as I read a review explaining the wall jump).
All in all, I actually enjoyed the game. It's a bit unpolished and short but I liked the atmosphere and the boss battle was actually done quite well.
You need to explain to people that there is a stamina bar and a health bar that can be filled by crouching, and that if you don't have enough stamina you can't wall jump. That and the controls being a bit sloppy made this game more frustrating than pleasant, despite the lovely graphics and boss styled killing going on.
looks cool and the music is pretty but like most people here im having trouble with the wall jumping. i realize that the stamina meter goes down and that you cant jump etc when it's run out, but i still couldnt even get past the first series of moving platforms and lost interest. it's ok to have difficult platforming in your game, but when the first obstacle is so difficult and the controls so shakey, i dont think most people will end up even playing this
So wanted to like this, but the jumping off walls is very poorly executed. I like the layout, the artwork is beautiful and most everything handled well, but you just throw us right in and wall jumping just sucks. Sorry man, fix this and you'll find a lot more love here.
