As a game simulating the retro zeldas, this game is really damn great. Exploring the map is fun, as well as the dungeons, and the difficulty is just there where I am bad, start bad, but eventually get better. Nice spritework for the overworld and excelent for actual characters (Anubis himself, the horse, the little dog that I forgot the name). I haven't finished it yet, only because I get so far into a dungeon, get an incredible item, and when I try to get back to save the game, I die and lose all my progress. My only complain is this, if you die, you don't lose items and money, you literally lose everything you have done. This is so terrible, since you can spend time and time trying to get somewhere, and when you finally do, you die and have to do it again. On the first dungeon, I had to kill the same lizard over and over and over before attempting to get the item, because it would be just impossible otherwise. Same thing for the relics, you get one and suddenly have to face new enemies and obstacles never fought before while still having on your mind you can't die because you'll lose the progress you've done. I'd say this game is really great, but the saving is just infuriating, at least on my experience. Make me drop all my coins and ammo, but please, don't let the items I got be rolled back when I die.
(Also, is this game ever going to be updated again? I really like it and I'd love for it to be completed, incluiding making the nsfw which I know you have e621, harmatist. we all are furries and demand to see the animations in-game.)
It's a pretty fun game thus far, but the controls feel extremely unresponsive and the controls are very unclear (on keyboard. idk about controller support)
I dont understand guys, i spent hours playing the game,it was hard and also fun, but, in the whole game i did not see even one +18 animation, i dont know if i need to download other version or do something in the game, i mean, clearly in the tittle screen says +18, can anyone help me whit this?
Programmer on this project here. I'm still on El Capitan myself, and haven't tried it on Sierra. Make sure that the version of Java installed is 1.8. It won't work on earlier versions. If that isn't the problem, try running the game via the terminal (with the java -jar anubis-multi.jar command from the install directory) and let me know what it prints out.
I -love- the comics you and Harmarist make together. Also, the idea to make a furry game was great, but I would love to see this concept expanted... ever thought of doing an RPG something along the lines of Secret of Mana or Chrono Trigger? Or maybe a fusion of both? It doesn't even have to be a yiffy game, I just love the art style and I think you both would make an amazing 16bit era styled RPG.
The third boss is unfair. Not just difficult, unfair. There are way too many stones falling to get anywhere near the boss during his vulnerability period, and his head is too tall to dodge by jumping (it sticks out over the platform above it, which makes down the only safe place to go), not to mention the fact that boulders will quickly cut your attacks short and send you to the bottom to get your ass handed to you by the head, where you cannot dodge it at all, and there's a particular flame ghost en route to the Hall of Two Truths that will invariably take off a hitpoint as you're trying to get rid of it. And this is all WITH the Bikini, Magic Sword, Magic Shield, Water Jug, pretty much every treasure in hand (not counting a few like the sandals and scarab charm), including the Salt.
It's not skill that's required in this boss battle, it's luck with the Random Number God.
I finished Dungeon 1 and don't know how to proceed.
I already found Dungeon 2 but i don't know where to go there. I do not have the Fire sub Weapon and don't know where to find it. I am completely stuck.
Bruh, you haven't even seen the third boss yet. It's literally unfair. The horns are too tall to dodge effectively, there's shit flying everywhere to a quite psychotic degree, the platforms are too damn small, he has a huge pool of hitpoints, he has way too short of a vulnerability window to do any more than damage equal to 3/10ths of his hitpoints, if you're lucky and get the full three jumps worth of thrusts and dog spirits. Not to mention a particular enemy before hand that will invariably remove one hitpoint off of you before you even get there (The other is laughably easy if you have good reflexes and timing). And all of this is WITH the Bikini, Magic Shield, Magic Sword, Water Jug, etc. This is like taking the Sans battle from Undertale and making it far harder to effectively dodge anything. And honestly, the first boss isn't too shabby. Good luck getting back onto the platform after you get knocked off. Add more hitpoints, and it'd be difficult enough. But yeah, the second boss is a complete pushover once you've gotten the Bikini and Magic Sword, which you can get as early as halfway through the second dungeon, if you're determined enough.
Killed the 3rd boss on my 3rd attempt, 1st boss on my 2nd so I'm not sure what you're talking about, the issue with the 2nd boss is that you can just out dps him if you get the armor OR the sword.
btw you're supposed to dodge the 3rd boss by dropping down not jumping over... n00b

It's not able to extract a file that's present in the game archive, which might be a permissions error. You could try moving the game folder to a different location and running it from there, or running it as an administrator.
my main gripe with this game is that most of the time in the overworld I keep forgetting where I'm going, I thought I'd find a map eventually but it still hasn't happened
I also can't seem to get a grip on the hitboxes in the second boss, when I try to dodge I just get hit from something else and I keep getting hit, or it'll look like i shouldnt have been hit and i get hit anyway
by the time i get back i can't even remember what i needed to focus on and i just die again, let alone being able to get in any damage while all this is going on
not only that but the waves and slashes keep getting out of time so I'll get stuck in a jumping time from the wave that will hit me in the slash or vice versa
The second boss has a very annoying counter that actually hits further and further away from the boss but also keeps hitting close. Basically, everytime you hit him, it will do a 4 slash counter WHILE doing his normal slashes and that ground thingy as well. So you have to time your attacks in such a way that you can run back and then jump over the normal slash at the end (Or duck under it without getting hit by ground)
It's by far the hardest boss though, with the third boss being waaaaaaay too easy in comparison. I beat the second boss by running around the overworld more, getting some extra health, less damage from hits and extra damage with my own hits, and then I managed to just barely kill him while afterwards absolutely murdering the third boss.
That is weird. Though I spent a lot of time getting all kinds of artefacts. Doubled my weapons strength, halved damage received and I think I doubled my life as well, though it's been a while, not sure. But with the third boss, I really just ran up and hit him till he was dead. No moves.
So, I have replayed the game just to be sure I was correct and yeah, I totally beat the third boss easy, though now I know where to get all the items, so the second boss was pretty easy as well.
My trick was not worrying about trying to get up there as best you can, instead trying to get into a pattern of jumping from left to right. In most cases, the white balls will be either on the left OR the right and the bull's attacks are very predictable. What helped me as well, was jumping near the end of every one of the bulls attacks so he reappears in the row above me and I can focus on avoiding the white balls.
It took me a few times to get into the groove. When I did find myself in a position where I'd get hit by something, I turn so I fall back towards most of the platform and not all the way to the ground. If you do fall though, don't try to clamber up as fast as you can, because that'll get you panicking and in trouble!

finished the game, it's pretty good!
only thing I couldn't find was the bow
I hope the game gets continued and finished someday!
also, how can one play the NSFW version?
Harmarist plz come back. The game is really good and I'm aching for a full adventure.
Very good game, i really enoyed it.
Is game not a progress in work?
Cool game, sadly is dead
Awesome game! Beautiful retro style graphics and very fun to play.
awoobis
honestly could use a map
i get lost like all the time @-@
An invincibility cheat code would be awesome.
This game is too hard for me. 😅
Also, EXP does nothing, except healing, for now ?
I was expecting it to increase VIT. =/
That's how it is in the games it was based off.
Only healing.
NSFW version?
Any news?
IS SO GOD DAMN HARD TO FIGHT
will this ever be complete?
i do not know not to install on linux
Harmarist I sure hope you come back to this game once you get done with your current game.
Been quite a while now, can we at least have some updates if it's gonna be continued or cancelled?
is the game still in production?
please finish it this game is sso good!
You ever going to bother finishing this game? Or too busy getting distracted by other projects?
Hey dude, it's a great and beautiful game, when we can buy it in Steam?
UWU BEST GAME

It doesn't work, I can't select any save slot (with any key: enter, space..): I can't even start to play.
I wish this was for xbone.

on MacOS Sierra here.. didn't have Java, so installed it as per request, still wouldn't run the game. any suggestions?

I didn't get very far, but this was a fun platformer :o If there'll be a SFW full version, I will definitely play this more when it's released!
I made a let's play of the demo. Hope it helps!

Before i kill myself i'll ask here..
I finished Dungeon 1 and don't know how to proceed.
I already found Dungeon 2 but i don't know where to go there. I do not have the Fire sub Weapon and don't know where to find it. I am completely stuck.
Does every item do something or what?
Bosses are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too easy, kinda fucks with the general vibe of "difficulty".
