Everdawn

Hey my play time was 28 minutes! This was really cool. I really enjoyed all the little details that you put into this. The little particle effect for the smoke that comes out of the houses, the expanding black circle screen transition, the lighting effect in the caves, and the palette transition that happens when you move to the west. Everything here is super endearing. Even the music was really well done. The little tune that plays in the house had that Zelda "safe spot" feeling too it.  The only minor frustration that I had was the combat. The hitbox for the sword is pretty small and it made hitting the monsters a little difficult at times. That being said I still found the combat enjoyable, I just died a couple times where I didn't think I should have . I'm surprised that you released this almost 6 months ago and I'm just seeing it now. This is definitely one of the best TIC-80 games that I've seen so far. It's cool that you did it in JS instead of lua, I haven't seen too many carts using JS. Way to go, I'll definitely check out anything else you release!

1:56 and I sure spent a lot of time walking around and getting killed. I liked the story! It sort of drags on though...

The fights can be fun, since the enemy AI is surprisingly good at keeping out of reach and baiting you to attack at the wrong time. I died more to the random monsters than to the bosses. Unfortunately this meant that it was safer to walk past monsters than to kill them; it's easy to miss the monsters and take a bunch of damage, and there are not that many opportunities to regain health.

My favorite thing about this is still the graphics. They came out really nice.

I think there is a bug with the save file. I beat the game without quitting and when I opened it again my checkpoint was right near the beginning of the game.
