Not bad! This was fun to run around and beat people up! The swarm of bullies nearly destroyed me.

Quite fun. I love the blood pickup animation. I kept taping space to watch the blood fly around. Collision and ai were wonky in places though.

Diffidently quit fun. Not to hard, but not exactly too easy either. It made me feel quit villainous too. All you need now is some better graphics.

Good entry. Really fun to play, pretty addictive. :) The game got tougher in quite a short amount of time, but it's not a big thing.

good effort man , I got to level 10 villian before accidentally quitting , lucky I had tried all the upgrades

Destroyed everything, left all alone forever, spending quality time with the blood roomba.

The game is fun and works, although I think that the collisions are a bit problematic. Sometimes I hit with distant walls, and sometimes I don't hit the character. Slightly polishing the hitbox would make the game feel more fluid. I would give it a faster pace at the start as well. Good job!

@MaTX yeah, we are well aware of the collision problems. Implemented them pretty late into the game and didn't really have the time to do it properly! Would definitely be one of the first things to fix if we continue on with this. But thanks for the comment!

Fairly enjoyable, I liked the progression, and the carnage that happened as soon as the enemies with guns came after me.

Fun game!

Hah, I loved all the blood going around. Great entry! Someone mentioned you having to improve the graphics but I actually like them this way. Nice job :)

seriously fun

This game is awesome fun! At first I wasn't sure why the blood wasn't an auto-gather feature like the souls, then I slaughtered about five people and had covered the field of view in blood before sweeping it up just in the nick of time! (some of it had just begun to vanish).

Others have already mentioned the collision issues. I totally also did exactly what Norgg did as well, such a lonely life we lead xD

Great work, please do keep working on it!

Ok here's some thoughts:
would be nice if the movement is actually aligned with the grid, so instead of 450deg, you move 30 deg diagonally, helps keeping the appearance.
The collision is buggered, but i suppose you're aware of that.
There's only 3 active abilities, so instead of cycling them i'd suggest using 3 different buttons for them. i accidently used the wrong skills too often :P

Mechanically it's great and i had a blast playing it. Spice it up graphically and put it up on Kongregate <3 good stuff guys

Definitely fun for a few minutes~ Wish the controls were a little easier to use, but it's pretty good! Got to level 7 Villainy

That was really fun once I got the fireball. Interesting ramp up of enemies. Wish the zombies were a bit tougher.

udrian 2012-12-19 22:51

Thank you all for the feedback! It is really nice to hear!

@wzl yeah, thought about moving diagonally but I actually prefer this type of movement, thinking about adding a option for how you want to steer! Yeah that thing with abilities is a little bit tricky, we are planning to adding more abilities and also using a game pad as a controller. I guess we have to take a further look into that whole thing, maybe putting abilities as hotkeys instead of cycling trough them! Thanks for the wonderful feedback =)

Really fun little game! Enjoyed figuring out what skills to get in order to be able to stay alive. Is the game supposed to just kind of stop after level 10 cause you've won? I kinda wanted to keep wreaking havoc and saving up blood to spam the map with my minions.

udrian 2012-12-21 11:40

Thanks for the comment Eniko! No there was a bug that caused enemies to not spawn for a very long time, so that sucked xP. Actually there is supposed to come harder enemies after level 10. We might soon put up a post compo link where this issue along with collisions are fixed!

That was cool indeed! I loved the gathering effect. I'm looking forward to the post-compo version :)
