"Great Game, But needs better explanation!!!"
The swain has many great game ideas no doubt, but fails to present them in a way that people understand.
It took me a half hour to fully understand how to use my character properly, even after reading the tutorial persistently.
I strongly suggest that you guys first of all, add an auditory explanation of how to play the game in the tutorial, and further explain how to play the game by providing "TIPS".
Heres the major one that i can really only point out.
1. When you run up to a wall while holding Shift or A, get as close as you can, and than jump, to reach to the maximum height of that wall.
It took me 30min to figure out that i can get higher just by doing that!!!
Fix your shit guys!
Great game though, fucking loved it :D

"PLEASE READ, Will help i hope"
First of all, I greatly respect your work, probably more than you can believe.
But for some reason in this film of the series, I just couldn't immerse myself into the world of Brackenwood like I usually do.
A couple reasons i think why
-camera changed constantly, my eyes couldn't settle on one piece of beautiful art like it usually did. The constant fading in and out was terrible for me, I couldn't immerse myself. It felt like I was watching a video piled together in order to make a film, rather than an actual film.
How you should have done it : Made more breaks in between the narrators speech, like you did at the part of Bity's past. However maybe not as long, more use of this would have made it much greater.
However even though the scene of Bity's past was enjoyable compared to the other cluttered stuff, Bity looked terrible! He was so out of place graphically, and besides that it just looked bad. I couldn't stop looking at it, and it took me away from the film.
-Narrator was distracting from the art I was trying to look at. I think you should stick to the old, "Show" not "Tell" way. However it was nice to learn about his life, I kind of figured this out on my own though, a Narrator was not necessary. However if you choose to use a narrator next time, please make it through "Poetry", it would suite better.
So besides the fact I just really couldn't get into the film, I still find the story to be pretty good, but like all the films, its lacking.
Its lacking what you just explained in this one film, but it was a painful process.
I honor your work, and celebrate the fact that you are sharing this for everyone. It is a privilege to have such a great artist do this.
Anyway, hope this helped! :D

I agree with Mindchamber on this.
The game had tremendous potential, but the programmer simply copy/pasted his code from his original game "Ninja Brawl", without even making the slightest adjustments.
But besides that, I really enjoyed the incredible attention to detail from the artist in this game.
Harry, I really like how you captured the feel of the game, good job.

You deserve to sell this game. Its time you made some money from your talents. People here just are mad, because they only reason they play games here on newgrounds, is because they dont like paying for games XD

great game, but terrible music.
I had to turn off the music because it was so bad. It was repetitive, boring, and very annoying, and just didnt fit the feel of the game at all.
Im sorry guys, but you guys need to hire a real composer.
The game, like i said before, was great. It was entertaining, and had a pretty good story line. Great graphics as well.

The world was creative, the humor was at every corner, the art was stunning, the music was soul binding.
This was excellent, and you get 10/10 for this. It is rare to see such originality here on newgrounds.
