I have been testing the DEMO. Looks great. Graphically the sprites remind me to a certain extent of Final Fantasy I / II but at a playable level it feels like Zelda. This is fantastic. At a playable level, the ability to play in 2-player cooperative mode seems to me to be a pretty good detail. It reminded me a lot of "Rodas Cross (SNES)".

Thank you. This was the intention. :)
Please, tell your friends about the KS!

I beat the demo, pretty fun.
You nailed that FF-Zelda-hybrid feeling pretty well. Dungeons have the feel of FF dungeons with a fling of Zelda puzzle solving and battles are a mix of Zelda and Seiken Densetsu.

Thank you for playing.
How was the boss battle for you? Many think the boss is too random and difficult.

Sure enough, the dungeon boss's movements seem a bit random but after two whirlwind moves he can be slashed just before he reaches his original position. What I have not been able to do is damage him with the fire staff.

Random but not really that difficult, OK for a first boss. At least I seemed to learn how to stay away from his attacks after a while.
I think he is immune to fire no? It didn't seem to do anything to him.

For only $10, you too can Save the Kuin. Here's my gameplay video of its demo.

I wish I had a friend to make the player 2 character actually useful. :(
I have an ASD, so empathy is not natural for me. If I hurt you, I apologise.

Sounds good.

You can't harm him with the Firestaff. It was too easy otherwise.

Hi, I'm Nikku4211. Will you be an angel for a helpless kuin? Every day, innocent kuins are abused, beaten, and neglected, and they're crying out for help. Please, visit the website above in the description, with a backar reward, right now. For just $10, you will help Save the Kuin, and provide medical care, food, shelter, and love.

You skipped some things, among them the Firestaff. The companion works alright with long raged weapons.

You did great. Even beat the boss on the first try.

I like how Elgato Video Capture device looks.
