I've never been so blown away by a game in years! I see a lot of potential for this to be one of the greatest indie games in the year it's complete.
My only complaint is how parry is mapped to Q. It feels a bit awkward with the way I have to position my hand. I suggest maybe mapping it to D and then mapping the combo list to W. That's the way I'd do it as it's close to the WASD fingering, but it's all still up to you.
I'm looking forward to when the full game comes out. Keep up the good work! #TrisXBillie
Hello,I want to ask you for permission to make a translation into Russian for your game
Loved playing this game, the combat system seemed to have a small gap severely limiting when you can jump between spaces, but otherwise was really awesome. Hope to see this full release so I can play more!
Pretty good
cant. wait.

Day 22: How did the game go from being called Cynical 7 to DON'T GIVE UP? Well. Cynical 7 wasn't quite good enough but the pieces were there. DON'T GIVE UP was sort of a promise to myself to not become discouraged and see the project through.
60 Days of DON'T GIVE UP Day 21: The original promo card design for Cynical 7! :D
60 Days of DON'T GIVE UP Day 20: Old McRobberson's guard break animation never made it into the game, but that's probably for the best, it was more like he was doing some funky dancing than anything else :D #indiegame #pixelart #rpg
60 Days of DON'T GIVE UP Day 19: Bosses were originally upscaled because I felt like there was too much empty space during combat, but I'm really glad I ultimately decided to keep sprite sizes relative! #indiegame #pixelart #dontgiveup
4000 FOLLOWERS AND GROWING! Be sure to like the game and comment! :D
60 Days of DON'T GIVE UP Day 18: This is a rough sketch from over 2 years ago of what I wanted one of the bosses in the game to be! I didn't actually finish it until a month before the game was done. The finished version is the largest sprite in the game!
