Briar Heart is a "MetroidVania" style game set in the forest home of our faun main character. With a heavy focus on exploration and discovery as well as strong combat and dynamic character control we hope to capture the best of both namesakes.

Game looks pretty awesome so far.

The controls feel a bit weird though, like it low framerate or something.

Great job though.

Thanks for the feedback! The framerate is low-- We'll be working on that in the future. :)
That's not why the controls feel weird though! Try out the new build (should be available in the next few days) and see what you think about that one. :)

I think the artwork is great, I especially like the character design. I would agree that the controls seem a little clunky. The gravity could be a little lighter and when the character jumps it would be nice if there were more forward acceleration. But otherwise a really nice prototype.

Thanks samirgraba! You should try the new build of the game-- it should be accepted in the next few days or so. Run button + better jump characteristics and a bunch of other changes. Thanks again for your compliments. :D
