Danger! My shield bites!
Created in three days for ZenoJam 6
Sorry, our game was not easy. The hero will die, your task is to try to make him stronger with the help of the shield's ability to devour enemy forces and useful items, digest them and transfer them to the hero. Good luck!

The Knight of Light is enslaved by the dark force. The Shield of Death on his arm is a devil's toy that cannot be disposed of. However, only with his help will he be able to get out of this Cursed Tower. The path to light lies through darkness...

The biteback skill seems... unreliable. Sometimes it steals, sometimes it doesn't, and I have no idea why. But by now with 94 def and 113-141 attack, isn't like it matters much (?)
took me a while to understand how to play it, but once i got it, it's a pretty fun game
Yeah, I'm not sure how to play at all. I just die to the second or third skeleton every time. I'm just spamming "f" and attack. Not going to rate it because I basically didn't play it
Same, Im just so confused at what Im trying to do!
This game is pretty cool! I like the concept of whatever kills you makes you stronger and it definitely shows in this game. However, the mechanic itself was a little confusing. I am not sure what counts as permanent devouring. All I did was spam the biteback button until it gave me permanent stat boosts. Loved the game overall but would have liked to understand the mechanic more clearly!
Thanks for the feedback! And thank you SO much for the complete game and video recording. You're amazing! We will take into account all comments and try to bring the game to its best!
By the way, if you don't mind, I'll post a link to your gaming on this page :)
