So uh. I ended up losing a chunk of my thumb this morning in a slicing incident. The point of this story is that while I was trying to not pass out from blood loss, I did some ZQuesting!

I really like it. A few tips about the transparent water though. First, I'd advise you still use the right tiles for when the water's against the northern edge of the cliff, so that it kind of laps up against it. Second, the sand under the water could use a bit more detail. And lastly, the bridge kinda looks awkward. other than that though, it's a great screen.

Yeah! Nice screen! icon_smile.gif

I like how you don't try to hide the obvious gameplay mechanic of having to get the sword to go to the bottom screen. It feels kind of nice to see an honest line of bushes blocking your way instead of a stray clumb that is failing to seem natural to the player.

The only thing I don't like about this screen is that it feels like it's empty. Besides avoiding the enemies and going over the bridge there doesn't seem to be any thing to do here.

Oh! I also like the title!

I like the simplicity of it. I would probably move the bushes up one tile though, since you can't use your sword on the edges of the screen. A player moving north might try to swing their sword while still in that zone and nothing will happen, which would be annoying.

Yup, I remember that from...that one quest you were making... Still looks nice today, although I think it could be better. Not exactly sure how, possible a different palette?
