For some reason the menu would stick in the beginning and I wasn't able to select all the choices. The game was also a bit too easy. Other than that it was awesome :D I mean the visuals were really quite nice.

Well thanks! The Endless Mode and Credits buttons should work. We were going to make a Story where you got a certain distance and just murdered everyone, but we had to cut out due to time. Glad you liked it! :D

Thanks for rating my game!
Awesome game btw

Good graphics, decent music, and it's an interesting concept, but all there is is Endless mode, and so it lacks depth. Nonetheless, this is pretty good, at least in comparison to many of the Jam entries I've played so far. Why does it have to be 80 MB though?

A little bit too easy to survive but nice concept

Nice idea, and a very nice style. As you said, it's way too easy, and it could do with a little more strategy, but yeah. Nice game.

We had a compression issue for the size... The WAV files for the music were all ~15 MB each. I might try converting them to OGG or compressing them more to get the size down to a manageable amount.

Nice graphics, very easy game though

I don't seem to be able to play this. I get nothing when I click on the file. When I run it from command line I get this error:

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError : coreLogic/Driver : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Will try again to play on a different computer later in the week.

loggiant 2012-12-18 18:18

The game runs on Java 7, so I would make sure you have the most updated version from oracle, I suspect unsupported major.minor means you are running java 6 or earlier.

The game is incredibly easy but the art style is good and the concept is great. A story mode would of been great.

Visually very pleasing. It feels like there should be a limit to your power though. You can just go to the right of the screen and hold shift and watch the souls rack up.

Plus, once you get to the ~100 mark, souls occasionally go up and then down again? That was slightly confusing.

But, yeah, in all, it's extremely aesthetically pleasing, the animation's great for such a limited time and number of possible frames and the music is pretty good.

Thanks for all the great comments so far, we were going to add more features but real life got in the way during the jam. If there is anything you think would make it even more fun leave it in a comment and I'll definitely consider adding it and uploading a post-compo version.

OSX Mountain Lion, nothing happens when I double click on the jar. Running from the command line give this:

Will try this when I get to a more powerful computer. It doesn't not even load up on my laptop.

loggiant 2012-12-19 17:41

For some reason changing the sound format dropped the size but raised the load time. I takes my computer almost 10 seconds to load the game from startup i'd say.

Amazing graphics and music! Some more gameplay and content would make this game gold :)

birchmountain 2012-12-21 12:24

Couldn't open it :( I'm on a Mac.

thomastc 2012-12-24 12:52

Love the music!

lotusgame 2012-12-28 14:58

Very nice concept ! Funny goat ^^ Good work :)

I didn't realized at the first play the purpose of Shift and Space.
Easy game. I really enjoyed the credits music.

rawbits 2013-01-07 00:00

I can not see fow could you play in this game. There is no tactics or action. I've just made 865 points - 328 kill, 128 souls and 40.04 distance - only by starting them and holding down SHIFT.

The gfx are nice and the music is somewhat listenable - not my taste though.

You need to add some explanation other than just the buttons to use - maybe telling 'for what' is a good start.

Cool game :D i also like the images of the soldiers and the skeletons :D they are nice :D
