Sir Lies a Lot
A knight comes to a village and based off their appearance, the villagers rejoice and assume that they can help them slay the monsters in a nearby cave. After literally being thrown right into it, the game takes a turn into an unconventional metroidvania where instead of slaying the monsters, our hapless hero finds themselves solving their bizarre and often comical problems.

Pressing up should make you go up. Pressing space can also make you go up, but up definitely should.
At first I thought hitting enter was supposed to be a timing thing, but apparently you can just hold it. Having it this way, it doesn't really add to the skill. It just makes controls more awkward. If it's not supposed to be part of the skill, I recommend getting rid of the control entirely and if you push against a wall and you're not moving up, it automatically hooks. And I'd make pressing the opposite direction automatically jump. Down could be fall, or just slide down.
I was expecting that after you get the hook sword, you'd get sent back again and have more stuff you can do. Maybe add that if you want to add more to the game with other monsters to help.
a few problems here ...
x on the keyboard doesnt start the game , but space does !
the space and ctrl keys for actions seem to be more set up for using arrows for movement ( which i prefer) rather than wasd - in this layout its really cramped and awkward
the sword doesnt seem to work when using a pad at all ...
the game makes my laptop run really hot !
Thanks for the feedback, we have added the arrow key support, fixed the hook sword on the controller and changed the description. Hopefully, you won't face the same issues. :)
hey , everthing youve done has worked except changing the hook control to enter for some reason ? now youve made the key layout awkward again !
ctrl was ok to use with arrows and space ( x or z would be better though) so not sure why its changed ?
