Decent game overall. Somehow, I never had enough orbs to use any special skill besides healing, though. Must be me playing badly. :) Good effort on graphics and level generation.

If you have lots of trouble, read the spoilers.

Quite cool actually. Except i couldent figure out what to do with the big pink thingy in the end. I figured its easiest if you stand on a ledge and let enemies jump.

Flying cloak is awesome! :D

Fairly fun. I couldn't really afford anything except healing, unfortunately. I ended up dying twice and quitting, because not keeping your orbs is a little too harsh, I think. It's very difficult to get them, and the only use is healing.

Overall, fun!

At first I didn't notice that health and orbs was shown in the title bar, but that's kind of a cool feature.

I like it. :) The gameplay is solid and entertaining. The graphics are nice, but some kind of background would have been a good addition. The level generation is an awesome feature. Sounds would have been nice, too.

If you manage to have full health, and more orbs than last time you had full health, then healing is worth it.
You can get your orbs back by killing the paladins who took them (unless the paladins use them to heal)

heroesgravedev 2012-12-17 22:08

I have never done sound before. Will try it next LD.
I was not sure whether to add a background as it may ruin the feel, so I left it out.

stigmawall 2012-12-17 23:08

Everytime I respaw i'm full of enemies to kill... like that. Heheheh

jacksgamessucks 2012-12-17 23:27

good job. with some additional work it can be interesting game. i would add more weapons and random map generation
no music and sounds is bad

Seems pretty solid, but I keep getting overwhelmed by paladins and die before I get anywhere.

heroesgravedev 2012-12-17 23:31

I knew I should have made it easier.

I think the order of the Paladins have a serious flaw in their attack plan. If they just took all of their orbs and put them in a box somewhere, there'd be no risk of me corrupting the world :) Great game.

heroesgravedev 2012-12-18 00:08

But it would be easier to steal a box than kill 50 paladins
And anyway, the paladins collect orbs so they can heal.

Made me think of Tiny Barbarian with a twist. I like the special skills. Definitely my kind of game.
This is a really good basis for a more ambitious game with a good story mode and more variety in the sceneries and the enemies.

I couldn't get far. Enemiess attacking too fast got me desperate, while I was dying and trying to hold down the key.
Sorry, it was not a pleasant experience to me.

ddionisio 2012-12-19 05:13

It's a nice balance of managing your resources with the orb, but at some point it felt grindy. Still pretty cool game with the special powers.

heroesgravedev 2012-12-19 19:27

Well, there were never any plans to take this game further, which was my goal this time as planning to take it further results in scope creep.
However, I did make a few new code advances which will be used in a similar style (but different themed) game.

Special thank you to everyone who has rated the game so far.

mikkelin 2012-12-19 21:38

Made it to world 2. Cool game.

the-jack 2012-12-20 03:46

Really good start here, with some balancing and tuning and some more work it could be really something special. Great job.

myachin 2012-12-22 07:48

doesnt work on my videocard(

heroesgravedev 2012-12-22 08:11

It would help if you mentioned what video card you have. :)

cassio 2012-12-22 17:59

Nice, sound and music would be nice.

lotusgame 2012-12-28 10:28

Nice entry ! All this stuff done in 48h. Congrats ! I had fun :)
