Your web link doesn't appear to work.

burhuc 2013-08-26 14:01

Web link doesn't work for me either.

ultravisitor 2013-08-26 14:03

The blue guys are super hard to kill!

gaspard_ 2013-08-26 14:09

I'll remove the Web link until it's fixed.

thejackimonster 2013-08-26 14:39

It's funny... Good job! :)

rincewind_cz 2013-08-26 14:42

Too much chaos for me, i've got lost in game play.. but I liked the music ;)

okmmjyygv 2013-08-26 15:04

Funny :)

kunzbe 2013-08-26 15:49

'That file was not found.' :(

balooga03 2013-08-26 17:05

Nice Job, I love the Music, I didn't get further than the axe orc.
I like the overall feel of the game, some more work on art could work wonders.

latcarf 2013-08-26 17:07

That's so slow that I absolutely can't play it (using the .jar). I'm moving at 2 pixels per seconds.

gaspard_ 2013-08-26 17:21

Balooga03:I really suck at drawing, don't I?
Latcarf:That's lag,I tested it on several machines but I don't remember having such a strong lag...

cafeine 2013-08-26 17:31

Very good graphics style!

autlos 2013-08-26 17:40

As you said, you need to get better at making graphics. But they are fun btw!

I liked the game, but you should try to increase it's performance.

zuige 2013-08-26 22:07

One of the odd ones this.

omar_q8 2013-08-26 22:11

this game is fun, could definitely need work the graphics and the movement/feedback system

and also awesome music!

laelien 2013-08-27 09:08

Can't play either, the game is way too slow with the .jar. Too bad, this looked promising :(

timtipgames 2013-08-27 09:13

Something that I can't name makes me like this.

larzan 2013-08-27 12:08

I did play it, but there was no theme connection, really. Simple game, works ok, but coludn't stop it, had to terminate the process (Applet)

gaspard_ 2013-08-27 12:19

Sorry, the applet is broken, but I don't know how to remove it from the site...
However the ten second theme is the swords, every ten seconds bonus=combo*20 and the swords ability usually depends on the bonus.
Also, just fixed a bug: The game won't stop at the elk's anymore.

doonay21 2013-08-27 12:58

A little bit abstract, but i like it ;)

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-27 15:57

Nice music but a little confusing gameplay.

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-27 16:53

Doesnt work for me...

kevinworkman 2013-08-28 00:22

Woah. There's an impressive amount of stuff going on in this game, especially for having been developed in 48 hours. The downside of that is that it can be a little hard to figure out what's going on at first. A tutorial level or something would be great. You do a great job of increasing the difficulty of the enemies over time though, so awesome job overall!

madcoretom 2013-08-28 09:21

That orc is tough

madcoretom 2013-08-28 09:22

That orc is tough. I liked e hand-drawn style of the characters

kragnir 2013-08-28 13:10

Graphics is nice, music is nice. The gameplay is confusing. Lots and lots of crocodiles gathered below me and killed me pretty much instantly as soon as I landed.

Getting hit should at least grant a short immunity and the battle system could use either some improving or some better explaining.

haxpor 2013-08-28 13:23

Music is creepy in some sense, the best and I like it :)

gaspard_ 2013-08-28 16:02

@MadcoreTom,Kragnir:I would have added Imunity if I had time...
*Spoiler*:Killing axe orc: when they parry(they jump back and parry when you parry, and sometimes when you attack..), jump above them with space and get-em in the back...or get em in the air thanks to the 2nd swords lag abillity!
Crocks Kill instantly in your back,so equipe 3rd sword wait for the ten second bonus and follow the wave killing the stunned crocos easy!
haxpor: thanks :), it was made in a rush though, I could have made it less repetitive(only 6 min of music with 3 times the same theme...).

sengi 2013-08-29 17:58

Interesting gameplay! And realy scared audio.

namrog84 2013-08-30 10:02

Was a bit odd, and graphics and stuff were a bit too much. Would have preferred something more definitively clear and iconic.

It was definitely interesting and unlike anything else Ive played thus far.

eggdestroyer 2013-08-30 11:17

The audio is cool, the game is extremely confusing GUI and gameplay-wise and the graphics need some love, but it's a cool 1st LD entry !

murilo 2013-08-31 20:03

I couldn't do anything. Felt like I was moving at 1 pixel per minute or something. But the jump and sword moves worked. Confusing :( The graphics were good though.

gaspard_ 2013-08-31 23:10

@murilo The first ten seconds there are no mobs...
(the backround is scrolls so it may have been the speed your percieving)

ratalaika 2013-09-01 17:59

Quite funny, cool music and sounds. Great work!

zeppelincaptain 2013-09-02 19:31

Kind of hard to figure out what's happening, since there is no scrolling background to move in relation to. So it gets confusing, but there is an impressive amount of content.

sheepolution 2013-09-02 19:31

Really weird game. Can't make any sense of it. It has some humor, but the gameplay is not so great. Without the moving background it doesn't really look like you're moving.

gaspard_ 2013-09-02 19:48

@Sheep The backround was only made for that reason and the mood, and yeah, I didn't implement all my ideas in the gameplay :( , at the same time , some people allready say it's confusing!
Should have made a tutorial, oh well, next time...

lonelytimelord 2013-09-02 20:15

Could have done with some clear instructions on what to do as well as controls, but it was fun once I started getting some combos and finding out that you have a bonus etc Not bad for a first go, at least you finished a lot of people don't get that far! :)

jellycakes 2013-09-03 19:07

Pretty cool, The game was a little bit confusing with no obvious visuals as to what to do but I generally caught on after a while. I think the sword system was interesting but I didn't quite catch on to the pros and cons of each sword. Nice job anyway though

loxo 2013-09-03 20:16

Interesting game concept! I like the unique atmosphere. The character drawings are good enough to have fun, but I think that the arrangement of the many lines of text is a bit distracting. Good job for a first entry.

theholychicken 2013-09-06 09:37

Wow.. I actually quite liked this, even though I didn't have much of an idea what I was doing most of the time.
Felt kind of like those dreams where you aren't going anywhere but things are just happening.
Also the music was very good!

davince 2013-09-08 18:09

Oh god this game is so weird and confusing. Nothing made sense! It felt so glitchy! But in the end, I noticed that yes, I am actually playing! Stuff is happening!

This is not just a game, it's an experience. Well done, dude. Just make it a little bit easier to play next time. ;)

I also felt you haven't incorporated the theme very well. Didn't really notice anything even though my bonus timer supposedly changed. You could have worked on that.

rawbits 2013-09-16 18:48

The applet only plays sound for me and it isn't stopped after closing the page. Haven't tried the other alternatives as they aren't worked for me before anyways.

canvapps 2013-09-17 00:03

except for being a bit buggy, the game is fun. I think you should bring the game a step forward.
Nice job :)
