I like this game very much! The more old school style is very fitting!
When I first started it I was a bit confused about why it didn't have music. But I think it actually doesn't miss out on that. The SFX are very well used.
The gameplay is really hard at the beginning to be honest but I really like that. You have to try a bit harder to achieve something here! The Tutorial is very well made though so that's totally fine.
A very cool aspect also: all the little details! The game over sequence is amazing, the Tutorial is skippable (very good ^^"), the detail that the ghosts die when they bump against the rock, ...
Really good job there! ^^
(I hope I didn't write too much lmao)

Glad you noticed all the small details! And the more you write, the better our games will become. :)
We are big fans of retro-style games, so the difficulty is going to be up there (only 1 person has beaten this game!) Just keep trying, we added some pretty cool sections (a boss, more enemies and some more obstacles!)
Thanks for playing the game, we have plans to continue expanding this game in the future. Hope to hear more from you in our future games!
This is a very good game.It has a lot of detail added to it that makes it even better.The controls are smooth and the game runs well.It has a very good diffuculty to it,making it not to easy or to hard.It has very good old school graphics and addictive gameplay. My only real problem with it is the lack of mobility with the bow.
Avizial responds:
Excellent, glad you enjoyed the game!
We have played and tested this game to death. Good to see that players notice all the hard work :) Retro games will always hold a special place in our hearts.
We have received much feedback about expanding the game beyond this scenario. We have plans to add more levels and interesting play styles.
Thanks for playing the game! We hope to hear from you in our future games.
awesome.
Avizial responds:
Awesome indeed :)
Thanks for playing our game! Hope to hear from you in future titles.
it was fun. i actually liked that you did something about a culture, not so much people tries to do what you did here, the animation was pretty fun, even the game over was fun, i hope you will keep doing this games, and i hope ill be better the next time i play it ( i just get into the phase 2 and died), i though i could throw a max bow and get it before the boat escape and ¡whoops¡ failed again.
anyway good job, as a recommendation, why dont you try to do a hooligan fight in uk? that would be fun, especially if sex pistols sings something xd
bye.

Glad to see you enjoyed the game!
The Viking culture has been an interesting one! We got the idea watching Viking documentaries on the History channel one day. Just sort of popped in our heads and made sense as a game :)
The game-over sequence is one of our favorite things about this game. We also have a few other cool sequences if you progress far enough. Don't give up and keep trying!
With your support, along with all the other players, we will always be inspired to make games :D
Thank you for playing our game. We hope to hear from you in future titles.
This game is very cool and a great retro experience in itself, albeit the difficulty spikes are certain to repel many players. To be effective and progress far requires a lot of patience, perfect aim AND a good amount of luck as well. So far I've unlocked 24 medals ; you have no idea how many hours I've spent to meet the required conditions. On the positive side, the aim of the bow is quick and fluid. Your character cannot move, block or dodge anything but he also cannot die instantly. However Aegir can block at will and cast all sorts of magic spells to make your life miserable. Yeah I get it, he's a god. The only real negative thing I found to have handicapped many of my games is the little angel carrying the runes. If you manage to get all 5 different runes you'll get the chance to obtain extra points or an extra life. Unfortunately he likes to play dirty, flying all over the place very erratically and moving the runes over his head or under himself at any given moment. To make matters worse, he often gets in the way of your arrows. If I could shoot right through him I wouldn't even mention it, but it turns out that the little trickster is unkillable. You can shoot through 2 or 3 hydras at a time no problem ( even thought they are way bigger than the angel), but if the angel spawns right when you were aiming at a boat, too bad, your arrow won't connect and this will often cause you to lose a life. Everything else is fair, I know that if I win or lose it will be only because of my aim and my decisions. Overall, I like this game and the medals definitely are an incentive to keep me coming back again and again.
