Wow that game was fun! :D I liked to burn everything down :3

This was surprisingly good and really fun to play. Initially, i thought that the first upgrade was useless, but the following ones were great!

dagamesta 2012-12-18 02:07

Well, I'd say the first upgrade made it easier to hit those dang knights at first, but thanks for the input! The positive reviews are a nice confirmation that this game isn't terrible, haha.

I like the art, but at the same time - it is too small. The sounds are great, but at the same time - some are too loud compared to others, so you hear the annoying differences or whatever. :D
It was a fun game to play, I liked it.

dagamesta 2012-12-18 03:18

Thanks for the rating, Diventurer. Yeah, the sounds could have used some more work in terms of volume, I agree, but it's too late for that now. I guess you could say the sprites are the size they are because that's the style. Thanks for the feedback, we're here to learn!

Quite good.

quantumvm 2012-12-18 04:19

VERY FUN. the game progresses very nicely I absolutely loved it.

lur 2012-12-18 04:30

Lots of havoc to wreck! Not very challenging but lots of fun.

dagamesta 2012-12-18 04:41

Quantumvm: Thanks, we put a lot of effort into the flow!

Lur: Well, we were going more for the power-lust feel, but it's good to know that it was lots of fun regardless of whether it was too easy or not.

stryphe 2012-12-18 05:44

I liked near the end of the level with max power it was like a fire work show.

Good work!

gungnir 2012-12-18 08:33

It's great to be evil :) Nice work.

blockbrains 2012-12-18 13:23

yay! I conquered the kingndom! The MAX is awesome!

I really liked this one. It progresses very nicely and is fun to play. The graphics and sound go together quite nicely. I also liked the ending, but to answer it, go back and kill the knights you skipped. All in all, great game, and I say you could make a pretty good platformer with this engine.

dagamesta 2012-12-18 16:43

Gravity Games - Thanks! All this positive feedback is too fantastic. :D As for the engine, it actually is pretty sloppy, I'd say, but then again it was made in the 72 hours, at least the platforming part. I'll upload the source today.

Loved it. Awesome powerups and cool art. Well done. Could have done with music though.

hazzy 2012-12-20 03:14

All this needs is a little music and you've got yourself a masterpiece!

dagamesta 2012-12-20 03:26

Argh, I knew the music would be an issue. Sadly we didn't have a composer, and WojWorks didn't feel that any of the songs he found fit well enough. We'll try to include music in the post-mortem if we end up doing one, though.

entity2d 2012-12-20 18:22

Very fun game, I really liked the powerups.

beerman 2012-12-20 19:25

Entertaingly destructive, the maxed out power at the end was great fun.

pighead10 2012-12-20 20:11

Fun game, especially with all the graphical effects near the end. Reallly easy, I held down two buttons and didn't lose any health. Loved the "DESTROY EVERYTHING" ending!

revelorenfield 2012-12-20 23:43

Overpowered weapon is overpowered
Thank you for your game, it was really funny, especially at the end with the ultimate upgrade. The progression is very good so we can actually enjoy having a so great power.
Nice work !

youdonotexist 2012-12-22 00:10

is it possible to get a Web/Mac build?

dagamesta 2012-12-22 00:48

Actually, I'm working on that, youdonotexist. But I need to get my hands on a Mac before I can get a Mac build, and that's the holdup. Sadly, Allegro does not compile for the web. At least not as far as I know... I'll get to work on seeing about that too.

brotherst 2012-12-22 01:23

Haha, that was really fun. Wasn't expecting a boss after all that unchallenged carnage. Nice one!

puzzlem00n 2012-12-23 03:11

Very, very cool. It all feels so fit together, and the art reminds me of Knytt Stories. Thoughts-

Bad:
-Tiny little glitches here and there that throw you off, but it's not so bad.

Good:
+Very cool making the title screen part of the level, pretty sweet.
+Graphics are nice and uniform, as well as the fact you made some fantastic choices in sound effects.
+It has a well defined beginning, middle and end, which really brings it together. Good work.

joaorequiao 2012-12-23 17:12

Awesome! I Had REAL fun!

dagamesta 2012-12-23 18:22

Puzzlem00n - Thanks! We worked hard on the little details, glad someone noticed. :)

As for the little glitches, my platforming engine is really sloppy, but I'm hoping to turn what I made in this competition into an even crisper, cleaner platforming engine.

lonestranger 2012-12-24 05:15

At one point when I had fire, I found I was unable to move at all. The game kept going and a jumpy dude eventually killed me, but I couldn't do anything. Up until that point though, I thought it was entertaining, destroying everything.

dagamesta 2012-12-24 05:47

LoneStranger - Odd, I've never experienced that error before, and no-one has said anything about such an error as of yet. Did you get stuck in a wall or something? Elaboration is key when it comes to fixing errors.

superdisk 2012-12-25 18:07

Was actually kind of cool to see the transition from peace to ultimate destruction.

krutech 2012-12-26 18:05

I loved te progression in this game. Cute graphics and a somewhat buggy control. God game nontheless =)

goerp 2012-12-30 13:47

That was a lot of fun to play.
The graphics were small but cute. The bad guy was very good!
Good game.
You might say that it was a bit easy, but during a Ludum you don't play most gamres for very long and now I have seen all content (in contrast to my game that was so difficult that most people didn't even get to see beavers or lumberjacks.

dagamesta 2013-01-02 01:52

goerp: Thanks! That's what we were going for. Originally the game was harder, but we decided we wanted both the hardcore and casual gamers to get through and see all the content, not to mention people who get easily bored or distracted.

bradleypollard 2013-01-02 16:58

Daaaamn! I was wondering where it was going with all the powers, and then you get MAX and everything goes crazy! I smiled playing this game, great fun.
