love is game playing hollow knight of the first time it has the same vide hope i just something like you can do boss before the final ex boom boom before bower. but different  but just hope than is more on the line

awesome twist on the usual boss fight. loved the ending too!

Anyone else having an issue where they become invulnerable in phase 1 after winning in phase 2? I think I've soft locked myself somehow

Edit: I managed to replicate the softlock, if you defeat him in phase 2 and he happens to be under you DON'T mash space as you can potentially enter the animation of burning him without turning your candles back on giving you immortality without a way to get an ending

10/10 game worth even 10$

Ciao ragazzi, sono uno P A Z Z O content creator emergente. Se volete dare un'occhiata a una piccolo e veloce gameplay del gioco con un po' di battutacce e tirate di pis*llo, vi lascio il video!

Hi guys, I'm an emerging Italian content creator. Check out the video for a small and quick preview of the game with some bad jokes (in Italian)!

The Greatest love story of our time!!!!!!!!!!


art is good but i hate when game start taking back my controls and procide something. i know i can kill hero even at lastest level but game doesnt allow me use all commands , it force you to lose .

JoJos reference?!?!!?!??

needs more endings, but other than no romance option pretty good!

very fun game it enjoy how the hero gets better and so far the only way I've bet him is by being unfair and spamming 3 because in souls games its fair and to get him to quit is by being unfair

I quite enjoyed this game. Surprisingly philosophical and emotional.

The only words I have for this game are: thank you. Thank you for creating this masterpiece—a game that delivers such a deep, emotional story in just a few minutes. The feeling of being condemned to die, no matter what, makes the queen’s final dialogue hit even harder. A wave of emotions washed over me while playing, and I even shed a few tears when the queen embraced the player and during the ending.

Thank you

I really like this game!!

Oh yeah! I could make him surrender! I'M THE EVERLASTING QUEEN!!!

This is really, really good!

I played this game because it has an interesting gameplay from what I saw. You as the boss fighting the hero which usually the player's role, but i didnt expect the story that this game have. For a short game it is really impressive. I love it, thank you for the game.

The game is really cool, and it's clear that something special happened between the hero and the Queen—some kind of special bond and all that. But the Queen could have stopped the hero all this time; it would have been enough to break his arms and legs and leave him to suffer in agony, healing him just enough. It's the simplest way to deal with Heroes with restart abilities. But no, she let him die so he would improve and become stronger.

I know my comment is kind of a buzzkill in a way. But I feel sorry for the Queen. That little brat deserved to suffer.

Я рассчитывал на мирную или романтичную концовку. Но этот ублюдок просто пришел за вызовом, победил и пошел дальше

Dang it, she done went and pulled him to her chest at the end, and that no-good hero up and killed her anyhow.

great game but there was a bug where the hero just keeps dying after my 3rd tranformation and i couldnt finish the game :/

Such a good game, but his paterns are pretty easy to fool. I made him give up with only 2 attacks and without moving

I hope this is meant as a joke.

Wonderful game. Marvelous plot and amazing dialogues. Really makes you think.

(+1)

Awesome game, I really like the story and am trying to find out different endings on my own. I have to ask though, is there a way for me to leave the castle? I really want to, but can't find a way to so far.

theyre lowk goals

whats funny if you just stand there and do nothing the hero will leave and then come back if you do this 2 more times you can contine to fight or just let him kill you its  kinda funny  

Uh... wow. Just finished it. Absolutely great job on this game. I loved it.

Why did this make me nearly cry

Because it's damned good, that's why. :)

VirusTotal say me that this is a trojan, maybe i got in wrong download

The game just doesn't work for me normally=( When I first opened it, it was normal, but the I quit, because Igtg.. Well, when I again opened it, that just bugged half the screen. Like literally. Every letter/starter screen/battle background is cut in half. It's kinda still playable, the other sprites still work like the queen and hero, but text unreadable =(

(i tried to redownload, but it doesn't work. It's also on windows)

Edit: ALL sprites are half-a-half. I can't even see the tut how to attack..

Can you make an Android Phone Port with Controller Support?

I love the game but I apparently ran into a bug right at the middle section? (after you change the first time, then the hero adapts the 2nd+) here I used one of the moves that killed him and the animation ended. 

However, from that point onward the hero keeps getting hit from an invisible force, in the middle and right edge of the screen, that keeps killing the hero in the first phase. Thus dooming the hero forever to never overcome the challenge, lol.
