Great approachable gameplay coupled with great music and sound. I love the little graphical flourishes, like the swaying trees or the rain droplets on the lakes. A wonderful game!

This is fantastic. Super playable, intuitive controls, clear goals. Even deaths were quick, polished, & informative. Great game even without the 13k limit! Amazing job.

What a superb game! I played this for ages (nearly an hour), getting through to the 'THE ARAGONESE CRUSADE' level, and after that repeated again, I stopped. I'm not sure how much further I was from the end of the crusade? The visuals are brilliant, with cute animations and sound that doesn't outstay its welcome.

Loved the game, plenty of scope for replayability, found some of the levels tricky particularly J, L, N, O and Q. The game felt really polished, the music was good, the graphics were good and it was easy to control.

Feast Night is well made and it builds up a nice eerie mood as you walk through the woods. I really like the way you interact through nods or shakes, a nice touch for sure! And the twist, I was not prepared for that!

Brilliant, especially the sound effects. Framing it as a retro demo was clever too. The CRT effect adds a lot.
