i did not understand the sneak mode and when one person saw me there would apeare like houndred guards still good game tough

definitely a good game to play when you're bored, only took me about not even 10 minutes to beat, it's pretty damn good

I'll give it to you. This was a damn good game. I don't like the inconsistency that in stealth mode you have a guaranteed fight and you only need 1 of the 5 trinkets but This is still an incredible adaptation of the best meme of 2024. Seriously, of all the memes in 2024 this was the best. It perfectly represents escapism. Crawly represents wonder and a break from all the insanity of the world and see a funny little gnome fighting knights. Thanks. BTW I did not expect this good of an experience on my phone. Like, holy shit this worked fine.
Edit: Mabey Starman was a better meme but there on the same level really.

Thank you for this feedback and for playing the game! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I remember watching the video and thinking "I think I could make a game of this". It was so fun to make and I'm quite happy for it to be my first ever game. Definitely not perfect but I'm glad that for you it captured the essence of the meme haha.

Amazing little game. Takes little time to complete. Controls on mobile are tough for sneaking but I still loved the game!

ArlucGames responds:

Definitely not an optimized mobile experience but I'm so glad you enjoyed the game. Thanks for playing and for your feedback 😁

Fun game but it's a bit hard to escape from the disgruntled lady and the knights. Fortunately I got meteor+ as my first trinket so one blast of that killed them. May be a bug - I only got 1 trinket but when I returned to the sigil, a cutscene played and I had to battle the void walker. After I beat him, the game was finished.
