If you tried to play before this comment you might want to try again, I fixed a bug in my framework that was making the game too laggy to play.

angrygeometry 2012-08-28 16:58

your game is very good leafo!

ameliayn 2012-08-28 19:32

I'm not sure what is causing this, but I can't get the game to play past the intro.

jaj 2012-08-28 19:41

Most fun game I've played so far. Looks and sounds great too.

conflictivelabs 2012-08-28 21:26

Not working for me. Windows 7 64 bits

kayelgee 2012-08-28 21:31

This game is really cute. The music, the effects, the are all is so cute xD
On the title screen there is a spear so why is my hero holding some giant tampon instead?
And why am I fighting dogs along the way if my mission is to beat up the slimes :D

raroadkill 2012-08-28 22:18

The game does try and crash right after the intro. not sure why. Made it all the way to the end though. Very fun.

gnx 2012-08-28 23:14

Very nice graphics, visual effects and generally well presented.

Enemy variation was also very good, and I liked their behaviour.
The player weapon wasn't very fun and I would've enjoyed it a lot more with some upgrades.

Having some love2d experience myself it is weird that such a game would have excessive loading times and almost crash when loading the game, so probably some issues to sort out there.

On the whole, very nice job.

I couldn't play, after the introduction it just gets stuck on a brown screen with music playing.

benjamin-soule 2012-08-28 23:21

I had the intro screen crash. I had to pass intro clicking fast on x or Enter, for playing. The game is good, the blob habilities are fun and they make challenging opponent for the sword fights. I gave up in the level with the very angry cats dashing at me.

Couldn't get into the game at first but aimlessly mashing buttons is always the perfect cure...I did own it up with my pokey stick, but then was slain by a speedy blue lump...Overall, Great game...

saintheiser 2012-08-29 15:56

Like game mechanic and audio=) Well done=)

josefnpat 2012-08-29 21:25

Nice job fixing that lag!

leafo 2012-08-30 05:22

Good news. I fixed the loading issue that happens after the intro on Windows. The game should now run great on every platform!

timtipgames 2012-08-30 06:21

I really liked your game. I agree that the player weapon wasn't the most fun part of the game. The graphics are really nice and I liked the variation to it. I also liked the music which had a really catchy part in it ;) Please don't take this too seriously, but why does the game look so good and the title screen so ridicolous? ;)

arkeus 2012-08-30 06:37

Super fun. Love the bouncy numbers.

maple 2012-08-30 06:53

Pretty good! I only started to not like it when it turned into a maze game.

kefir 2012-08-30 08:52

Smooth! I liked it!

accidentalrebel 2012-08-30 09:25

Got to play for a couple of minutes and I really liked it. Everything ran so smoothly. And the one thing that I really liked, that I am surprised about, is the damage numbers that appear. Nic ework.

neocrey 2012-08-30 09:49

Nice game! Very addictive and funny! Good luck!)

amidos2006 2012-08-30 10:47

Nice game I like the graphics a lot and the sound effects :)

volute 2012-08-30 11:23

Nice game !
My weapon wasn't working anymore as soon as it overlapped a slime (nothing happens when X pressed), and on the boss level it pratically wasn't working at all (I'm on Windows 32bits).
Other than that, very pleasant experience :)

dedhedzed 2012-08-30 12:26

You get a plus point for 'evolving from our own waste' at the end. Really well-paced game, but the music got a bit repetetive.

I particularly liked how I seemed to be smacking things in the face with a shovel.

aitorman 2012-08-30 12:44

really really great game! Loved the graphics and there is a lot of content!

sience 2012-08-30 13:30

Hey leafo. Very nice and complex game. Where is a löve-webplayer version :-) ?

revelorenfield 2012-08-30 14:02

I liked the way you display damages.
Also, your boss was hard but very funny to kill :)

sestren 2012-08-30 16:16

Very well done. The graphics and sound were great, and the gameplay was decent. I found myself finding ways to skip past the slimes in the later stages rather than fight them.

marudziik 2012-08-30 23:03

Feels very much complete. Great pixel art, great audio. Gameplay-wise, that damn [spoiler]huge ass slime[/spoiler] was really hard to beat. The ending made me laugh a little. Very good entry.

mohammad 2012-09-01 01:32

GREATE GAME!
ive never seen anything better in a LONG time! (7 days)
GREATE JOB!!!

gritfish 2012-09-02 04:43

First couple of levels were a bit mazey, but the gameplay is great. And that music! Awesome.

ragzouken 2012-09-02 08:46

The intro text is very slow, and unskippable :(

Sound is nice, and the graphics are great, especially the damage numbers! I didn't find much reason to attack slimes that weren't blocking my way, or the boss, which wasn't many - not sure if that's intended or there needs to be more incentive.

wan 2012-09-04 16:08

Amazing entry, with a very polished gameplay and good-looking graphics! This is simply one of my favorites for LD24, too bad you couldn't fit it for the compo.

Also, props for the monsters IA (making them shake before attacking is a nice touch) and also for the text animation when hurting enemies ; these are the kind of details that make combat fun. With more contents I would clearly see this as a fun mobile game.

If I were to suggest something, it would be simply to add some basic leveling system: the main reason would be to make it more rewarding to fight monsters instead of rushing to the final boss. Also maybe increase the weapon hitbox a bit ;)

azurenimbus 2012-09-04 19:55

Don't people know not to get married on Ludum Dare weekend?

Really fun game. Amazing you got it all done yourself so quickly. I didn't play all the way, but if there's no change in gameplay (new items, abilities, etc), you might consider adding them in a post-compo version to make it more engaging.

Great job!

dector 2012-09-07 22:21

"Walking" sound is a little bit noisy. But nice!

doft 2012-09-08 01:48

The collision with walls down and right is weird... Other than that the gameplay is nice, and the graphics are really good

jfroco 2012-09-08 03:16

Nice game... a lot of potential. Löve is great!!!

pierrec 2012-09-08 15:54

That was a fun little game
*poking slime*

cobrajs 2012-09-08 20:04

Excellent game, but fairly difficult. After dying a few times I just started running quickly through the levels to get to the end... but then I wasn't able to beat the boss because I hadn't practiced on the weaker enemies :D Really nice, though.

willx 2012-09-09 23:09

love2d doesn't seem to run on my windows 7 64bit.

puzzlem00n 2012-09-11 23:51

Gosh, that boss is HARD! Can't beat it after a lot of trying. I really like the game though! Although the music sort of contrasted with the story a bit.

tobiasnl 2012-09-12 11:18

Nifty, well presented. Didn't had much to do with the theme though.I liked the gameplay, it felt responsive and fast. Looks good as well!

ncannasse 2012-09-12 20:30

Nice, but not related to the theme at all
