Nice game, i was 6th on the leaderboard, yeaaaah !

wallmasterr 2012-12-17 00:28

This game is realy fun and similar to mine, your game is probubly more fun than mine though.Nice clean graphics too.

jmoraguiard 2012-12-17 10:04

Funny game, though a little bit erratic controls :P It would had been really nice to have combos so one could concatenate the killings in different manners. The graphics are realy cool and it is amazing make soldiers fly away with second superpower :D

cy4n1d 2012-12-17 10:07

Nice game. Combos would be nice. :-)

feili 2012-12-17 10:18

That was fun, sometimes my arm went crazy while hammering, and shockwave is the best :D

gemberkoekje 2012-12-17 10:19

I liked this game. The graphics are crisp, and it's quite fun. I did see my arm going to the heavens sometimes, I think there's a small bug with the hammer animation.

If anything, it could use a bit more variation. other then that, I don't have much to whine, well done!

derosa 2012-12-17 10:51

I had a good time with this one! I like massive destruction and the breaking buildings touch surprised me. Nice use of ExplodingForce! :D

tomk32 2012-12-17 11:05

Already the second entry in this direction, very nice done, though the audio feel could be better and the controls are not much fun on a macbook, specially the third button.

And I sliced a house. Sliced! That should be walls and roof flying around instead.

cornedor 2012-12-17 11:13

Nice game, +1 for the linux release

tuxedofish 2012-12-17 11:50

Wow this is a really nice take on the theme. The graphics and movement and everything is great and its fun. I just think the audio could be improved.

kannas 2012-12-17 11:54

very interesting game. I like the concept and the destrucability of the houses. what i didn' t like were the controls. they were too buggy, killing less men and more fun :P you should work a bit around them, i am sure the game experience will benefit a lot :D

wuhao 2012-12-17 12:42

w00t the king wears pink! game is fun

tau7153 2012-12-17 13:21

Very fun, I especially like the super stretch long arm combo. However, the controls could really use some work.

benadams 2012-12-17 15:21

Very fun, nice idea

dom2d 2012-12-17 17:55

Good job! It's super fun! More feedback on hits and kills would help, but otherwise it's pretty good! :D

jhrrsn 2012-12-17 19:11

Wow, really good 3D art and animation for the timeframe, well done on that. Fun to play too!

comrad_gremlin 2012-12-17 19:24

Very nice. Top-notch graphics + ultimate destruction :)

loren 2012-12-17 19:44

digging the destructive terrain!

ricardo-nakamura 2012-12-17 19:53

Very nice game! The special powers look good, and smashing soldiers is fun.

It would have been nice to have the option of a chase camera (following behind the demon) and a reminder when there's only, say, 15 seconds left.

spierek 2012-12-17 19:58

That was really fun, I managed to grab almost 14000 points (not sure if the leaderboard is online). It sorta reminded me of Black & White, though I'm sure that minions in B&W couldn't do this with their arms: http://puu.sh/1C37b

gornova 2012-12-17 21:19

Good graphics, very enjoyable and people flight really good :D

saampahlavan 2012-12-17 22:08

loved watching the villagers fly as I bashed the ground. Wish I had more control over the character though

lucky-luddite 2012-12-18 00:03

Got that drum loop stuck in my head now. Nice game.

catburton 2012-12-18 00:46

Great game! Looks really good and it was fun to be able to destroy the trees and buildings. I wasn't sure what the hearts were for as the character doesn't seem to have health - only a time limit? I agree with some of the other comments that the controls can be a bit tricky to use, but for a 48hr game, I think they're pretty good! :)

quantumvm 2012-12-18 01:35

This game was awesome. It is quite satisfying to swing your hammer down into a BIG group of guys and watch them fly across the screen. Overall, well done.

heychinaski 2012-12-18 01:53

Impressive 3d. I wish there was a rating for technical merit.

ltyrosine 2012-12-18 02:08

Nice game, nice graphics. Little problems with the controls.

crashbanito 2012-12-18 02:17

The game is pretty fun, but I couldn't seem to get the magic to work. One of your animations appears to be a bit bugged. I can't help but feel this would be better if the player had direct control (WASD - Arrows). Other than that, I can see the effort that went into this and I must say, good job!

saguaro 2012-12-18 02:42

Great fun.

coffeeonimal 2012-12-18 02:47

Cool entry! I got the King!

eatenalive3 2012-12-18 03:40

Awesome! I tried twice to make it on the highscores, but no luck (or, skill!) I really like the highscores feature. Great graphics and abilities!

gdateam 2012-12-18 05:10

the powers are a lot of fun. the bugged out animation you get sometimes when you use your hammer is fun. i like the music too

dylan-m 2012-12-18 07:06

Yep, the Linux build works great on Ubuntu 12.10. Thanks for making one! (Only oddness I noticed: the Carnage executable doesn't have executable permissions when I extract it. Nothing serious, but you can fix that and then people can just extract and run immediately).

Controls were a little odd. I lost track of where I was moving on more than one occasion. Pretty ambitious graphics, though! Not the prettiest, but it definitely fits together well. I'm impressed that you got that in such a short time :) I really like the leaderboard, and I found myself playing it a few times to improve my score.

manuel777 2012-12-18 07:48

Great game! first one I see with leaderboards, A-we-someee! :D

parhelion 2012-12-18 07:50

Nice game. Leaderboard - that is good.
Why do people run this giant hamper.. I want to crush them. Error when playing animations.

sonnybone 2012-12-18 10:23

That king is a HOSS. Several giant hammers to the face and flaming boulders to the spine and he's still running strong! This game really needs some audio variation to let you really sink into it. As it is now, the audio grates on your nerves and kinda pulls you out. But there are tons of nice things here... the physics, the leaderboads, the fun factor, the characters. Good stuff!

killmonday 2012-12-18 13:00

Fun!

matx 2012-12-18 16:22

Super cool considered the time constraint. However I feel that with your skills you could have done something even better by interpreting the theme less literally.

d3zmodos 2012-12-18 16:48

Really fun game, gonna check up on exactly how you did those highscores because I did that in a game of mine a little while back it wasn't nearly as streamlined it seems. Pity about my hand flying into the sky sometimes - maybe to come crashing down extra hard on those peasants? ;)

ratking 2012-12-18 17:13

Nice game! :-) There's glitch in the animations, though.

zappi 2012-12-18 18:48

Nice toon shading and graphics in general!
Yet it's a bit difficult to press middle button on the touchpad :)

joyboxed 2012-12-18 19:09

man this looks really good in comparision to most entries, still need to admit though that the fun factor wasnt that huge

atomic 2012-12-18 20:10

Not sure how to explain but the gameplay feels a bit artificial

cassio 2012-12-18 20:14

Nice work. Its so good when people go flying towards the camera.

michax 2012-12-18 20:15

Very good game. Animations are very cool. Well done :)

brant 2012-12-19 00:17

Very cool!

Tried hard, but couldn't get on top =/

faust 2012-12-19 02:39

Cool idea with solid gameplay and graphics, well done.

bender 2012-12-19 10:16

Really liked it. The game deserves its name, it was huge massacre ! Nice powers too, but controls are a bit odd.

spotlightor 2012-12-19 13:02

The most powerful villaint I've ever played! The high score system is really addictive.

m-gryko85 2012-12-19 20:14

Fun game with very good graphics and sound.

lorancou 2012-12-20 14:51

Cute!

orangeez 2012-12-20 14:57

Nice game, reminds me of Black&White, though that bug with stretching bone is annoying a bit.

cyboot 2012-12-20 18:19

fun game, my mouse say thank you :D
Graphics are nice, its fun to play even though I would prefer different controls.

But good job :)

the-jack 2012-12-20 21:54

Excellent work getting characters modeled, rigged, and animated in under 48 hours PLUS come up with some solid gameplay.

monobo 2012-12-20 22:36

Great, linux port worked but no sound for me.

dew 2012-12-21 00:37

Nice game, quite repetitive.

birchmountain 2012-12-21 16:04

A really cool game. Few bugs but nothing serious. The most annoying one was that his arm would extend at random times, but as it doesn't affect game play it didn't really matter. I liked that you have different special powers and even a scoreboard! It all proves that it's a well polished and well thought out game! Good job!

fishbrain 2012-12-21 16:21

haha!... fun!

zkenshin 2012-12-21 18:18

Didn't quite like using left mouse for the movement (would have preferred WASD or Arrow Keys), but really fun.

nilstastic 2012-12-21 20:00

Good: Fun to chrush people with a big hammer!
Improve: Blood!

raincole 2012-12-24 10:48

The best part is those breakable buildings. But it told me time's up when the countdown remains 1 minutes.

ghotifrye 2012-12-26 04:51

Awesome game. Nice animations, swarming, physics, leaderboards. Some minor glitches with the animations/weight maps, but I know how that is. Would have preferred a web build. Any particular reason you didn't build one?

Anyway, very cool game.

sxpanda 2012-12-26 11:37

@ghotifrye When I built in Unity WebPlayer the game played at low framerates, and the buggy controls were more noticeable. I had to reduce the maximum number of enemies by a fairly significant amount to get it to run smoothly, and I felt it was an inferior game.

zenmumbler 2012-12-28 15:42

Left and right clicking for controls was a bit tricky. I first tried this windowed, and in all the franctic clicking I created some new folders on my desktop :)

Amazing what you got done in 48 hours in terms of material and functionality. If the game was a bit simpler and more polished it would be one of the best games too.

BTW: fore Mac OS X users, the app as is doesn't work due to a permissions problem. I uploaded a fixed version to:
http://logic-dream.com/ext/CarnageMac.zip

@SXPanda, feel free to link to the fixed version. I only had to add execute permission to the app in the bundle to make it work.

leafo 2013-01-07 06:53

this is pretty cool. controls were a bit challenging. I like the different skills and the destructable environments.
