Cool ideas! And love the art.

omar_q8 2013-08-26 02:37

original idea!

tork 2013-08-26 02:38

Not a fan of using wasd and arrows at the same time, still 26 deaths!

I need to freshen up on my multitasking ability, very well put together.

cubertoy 2013-08-26 02:55

Thanks for the feedbacks !
Tork : That's quite a nice score imho.
Rabbits : Yeah, quite honestly, I'm not that good either (is that wrong ? :p)

Amazing visuals (smooth animations too) :D ... Great game.

Very nice ! Cool ideas and cool art :D

I killed 65 demons ! Excellent idea, nice realisation, satisfying to play and great take on the theme. What got me killed tho is that I created 2 timers very close so I had to take both at the same time, breaking my game flow. Great entry !

Well done. I like the multitasking, although it was a bit awkward in practice. Pretty fun, though!

ART + CONCEPT = EPIC :D GREAT JOB!

nathanhoffer 2013-08-27 02:22

Neat idea. Neat art. I might be too stupid to do 2 things at once :) Nice job!

The mood and Theme are very cool. I really like the style of the art as well. I wondering what your overall idea for this is... if say you had a story part to it. Very Nice work.

cubertoy 2013-08-27 02:57

Again, thank you all !

asc3nsion : I invite you to see my posts to see the trouble I had with this LD (almost gave up). But yeah, here the idea was that the girl is "too young to die", and death agree to help her to gain time (and make her die the latest possible). It's not totally clear in the result, but that was kind of the idea.

Wow, it's a very unique idea to control 2 characters at the same time! Don't think I've seen this before anywhere.
I did't really understand why the two are working together.. but it works on screen.
The art and style are terrific, great job!

atgaubatz 2013-08-27 03:32

Really fun! Loved the dissonance between the controls on the top and bottom.

tomk32 2013-08-27 16:00

Looks really nice, most games forget to add particle effects.
But why would Death kill demons to reset someone's 10 second timer? That part is a bit fuzzy.

cubertoy 2013-08-27 16:16

Yeah, I try to explain few comments above that I did't get time to add the story screen :/ I added the "story" in the description. Thanks for playing and comment.

le_john 2013-08-27 16:40

I really liked the idea of the gameplay ! And your art is beautiful. Goo work ! :)

sylvain-p 2013-08-27 23:08

I like the idea of controlling 2 characters, even if I'm very bad at it :)

hbocao 2013-08-30 02:41

Cool implementation. It's funny because I almost did something similar, but couldn't figure out how it would work. Seems like you managed to do it just fine ;) I liked that you managed to put a little story there. Nice entry!

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-30 03:31

Cute little game, I love the idea of it and it looks nice! I featured it in a Ludum Dare 27 compilation video, if you would like to check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-HQ96z_y-M

Pretty fun!
The graphics were absolutely gorgeous, but the wasd + arrows combo was highly stressful. Still fun though!

adamharte 2013-08-30 10:53

I like the it when games get you to manage two things at once. Really plays with your brain. Awesome intro too.

blay09 2013-08-30 12:52

I liked the graphics and the multitasking it required.

ratalaika 2013-08-30 18:45

funny games. good job

xaizil 2013-08-30 23:03

Pretty art style, love the story, nice gameplay

orni 2013-08-31 14:44

great idea, the graphical style is amazing as well
liked it, I'm looking forward to your next games
well done :)

Strange theme where death aids a girl by killing demon to help gain time. Split screen controlling two characters is a neat idea. Good Work.
