I didn't rate it because I'm having trouble playing... seems to not work great with the keyboard/mouse (no gamepad, sorry!).

Was interesting although a bit hard at start (without a controller at least). Nice one :)

Is it even possible to mash buttons fast enough to survive even the first enemy? I'm so confused. The tutorial doesn't clarify anything for me. Sweet tunes, though.

I really like the idea. It seems like you really have to mash the buttons super quickly to win even the first battle though. I really wanted to see the town too.

Can't connect to the site hosting the web version.

Fun game, I like the idea of slow battles leading to more enemies coming into the fray!

Confusing gameplay but i like the visual style.

The battles are way too confusing and I can only manage the first enemy. I need like a video or something to understand how it should play. That or a controller maybe.

Get on my level scrubs.

Game doesn't load, I always get an "Unable to download data files" error

The controls where a little tricky to work out but once I got use to it I found the game really fun.

I love the track and field button mash style of things and the challenge kept me playing.

The game got a lot easier once I figure out I had to spend stat points and I had unlimited potions lol.

Wow that was pretty hard. Works well with the pad although the instructions were for playstation pad I think? Good way to use the theme and I really like the central idea for it.

This is hard! :D i love the cube graphics

Since it looks like a lot of people are lost by my inability to put together a tutorial I'll draw something up tonight when I'm home from the office.

The biggest tip will be using your stat points (you get 5 right at the start) is important. Big lesson learnt about walking the player though for me. Thanks for the feedback guys!

I dont think I quite understood how to play the game, though I love the cube graphics!! It was really nice to look at, but my poor granny will be doing the wash for ages!! I did feature it in my comilation video of Ludum Dare 27 Games, if you wanna check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1UJ96l2scE

Fingers ache, never leaving the town again :D

It is in the top but here is an extra link. Quick "How To" which should elaborate on the poor tutorial.
Sorry if the balance is a little off for some people. It was intended to be difficult but it seems a little too steep in some cases.

manoloko 2013-08-27 23:07

Feels that it could be great fun, but it's really hard to get into it. Would need a slower learning curve, but I know it's very hard to achieve this in a 48hour compo.

Awesome way to end the tutorial section.

edocentrique 2013-08-29 18:00

Very hard to play but good idea !

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-30 06:27

Solid adveturer! The control-"twist" is interesting.

Love the music, it fits quite well. The low-fi-artstyle works quite well too :=

tigerj 2013-08-31 03:25

it was real hard until I dumped all my points into attack.

I had a fun time with your entry. nice work and the music was over the top awesome.

and that dick kick is going micro viral among my friends at the bar.

Web version doesn't work

Chrome, OSX

yaguar 2013-09-06 13:10

Hi Linus,

Just checked web version from my Mac on Chrome, was okay for me.
Could have been that the server went down for a little bit. I'll check in to that.

Thanks.

Fun game! It was a bit hard getting started but was worth the effort.
