Hey everyone! After a long stretch of work I finally released my game, Powder & Penance, on itch.io.

It's a top-down pixel-art action game. You're a convict thrown clear when your prison wagon is attacked on the road to the Abbey, and you fight your way through orchards, swamps, tallow works and a cathedral full of things made of wax.

What's in it:

- Melee and black-powder weapons (swords, greataxes, flintlocks, a blunderbuss) that you have to reload by hand

- Five bosses, most with a second phase

- Shrines to rest at, healing phials, and a "guttered candle" that holds everything you had when you died

- Powder kegs that blow up enemies (and you)

It's built with Phaser 3 and TypeScript and packaged with Electron for Windows, Mac and Linux.

I'd really love feedback, especially on how the combat feels and whether the bosses are fair or frustrating. Brutal honesty welcome.
