While Oathbound may seem like a traditional boss pit, the twist is that you must lose in order to win. In this sense, nothing can go wrong, because if things go wrong and you lose, you win.

Trying to die before you accidentally kill your opponent.. that's wild. Very inventive concept for sure. I like it. But - I failed in the first level and when I hit play again I got stuck in some empty place with no one to get killed by.

mhh thats sad... maybe try reloading, we havent experienced that bug before... If your really motivated you can try downloading the .exe file that should Work!

At the "Hafgufa" level, I can't move or do anything except moving the HP bar of "Hafgufa" with mouse :(

thats wild 💀 thats such a crazy bug why does the hp bar move to your mouse...
well look into that

Thanks for the feedback. Those issues have been fixed.
