I wish I had a right click on this maaaacc

emptyflash 2013-08-27 04:09

Really solid game. I like being able to have two spells, and the controls are prefect for this style of game.

skye 2013-08-27 04:24

oh goodness this game is fun

nerlin 2013-08-27 05:32

Really addictive gameplay. Game looks similar to our game. But I like your implementation very much. Actually, great job!

meta87 2013-08-27 05:34

This is really fun! like the graphics and different equips. you got a lot done.

rylgh 2013-08-27 05:56

Cool :)
Got to Day 16

khaotom 2013-08-27 06:03

This is a great entry!

sev_inf 2013-08-27 06:09

Wow! Very cool graphics/music and very addictive gameplay!

farfromsleep 2013-08-27 06:09

Great stuff, there's a whole lot of game here for a weekend's work. Nicely done guys.

asc3nsion 2013-08-27 06:24

I like your control scheme in terms of holding ans using items with left and right clicks. I thought walking around could be improved a little. Still solid stuff! great work!

atomicvikings 2013-08-27 06:25

Solid game. :-)

anachron 2013-08-27 06:31

The two-item system is a great way of basically selecting a type of character to play...

casimps1 2013-08-27 06:38

Very cool polished little game! Beautiful graphics (I love the sword swipe trail). Nice player choices available.

I kinda wish I saw damage numbers popping up when I hit something or health bars maybe? It's hard to tell how effective my weapons are otherwise. (Is my level 4 sword better than my level 6 magic book?)

Overall great work!

epiplon 2013-08-27 06:42

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!
Go with a sword and mage skills and you're done.
And I hate those yellow blobs, they run faster than you. I must admit that they are the only that makes it a hard game.

I reached about day 33. What do you think on scoring systems, multiplayer mode and polishing? Can be a true product someday.

yetatore 2013-08-27 06:44

Weell!! I like the concept of open beat'em up, the graphics, audio & programing looks fine... But the general bizarre humor that have this game, is the best part of it.
I make a Programmer Fan Art for your game, enjoy:

tomcooper3d 2013-08-27 06:59

Thank you all so much for the kind comments I'm glad you are all liking it so much. We put a lot of hard work into it this means a lot

tomcooper3d 2013-08-27 07:04

@epiplon we were going to implement a better score system next but we just ran out of time we were lucky to squeeze in score by days lived in at the home stretch. Ill keep posting about any updates to the game that we might add after LD27 on our twitter @tomcooper3d @kenruze

zephyr89 2013-08-27 07:51

A good top-down brawler. I problen on the web version is the loading time.If this wasn't a ludum dare, I would have been frustated and have just left.

darien 2013-08-27 07:55

Pretty fun; looks great. The music is a bit out of place, though, for a game about fighting slimes in a crypt. Also: are the blue blobs immune to sword? I never managed to kill one.

andrewves 2013-08-27 08:21

Great game, i had to play it a couple times to get the hang of it but had good fun.

grozamorei 2013-08-27 08:57

game is great!

diogomuller 2013-08-27 12:01

Fun game, great concept. :)

ghostik 2013-08-27 12:17

Really nice concept! I enjoyed this one

thriek 2013-08-27 12:55

5/5 on all accounts. loved this game!

jason 2013-08-27 14:12

Great job guys! The two controls worked well, as with leveling them up. And having 4 options was cool too for abilities to mix it up. Really impressed!

I know how much work something like this is, so I doubt you had time to add much more. But some suggestions would be maybe health power ups to heal you and maybe another enemy type or like a boss after so many waves.

Fun game! Will you be making the source code available?

flamecow 2013-08-27 15:51

What an awesome idea! Very, very fun game.

doubles 2013-08-27 16:00

Great game! Graphics and audio are great

ratalaika 2013-08-27 16:55

good job

angrygeometry 2013-08-27 19:25

jeez, that was really neat. would have been cool to know what each item did beforehand, but other then that, fun game.

zlowrance 2013-08-27 19:47

Good idea but you should look into the balancing. I leveled the book from the very beginning and by level 20 I was basically untouchable. Ended up making it to level 56 because I started moving around too much and getting cocky haha

tomcooper3d 2013-08-27 19:54

yeah basically this game is really unbalanced due to the time constraints. we will polish this project more for sure but it would be unfair to keep working on it after LD deadline

fgielow 2013-08-27 21:25

Nice game play, controls and graphics. Well executed idea.

sayerslabs 2013-08-27 21:40

Really fun game, and good idea for the theme.

flod 2013-08-27 21:56

nice idea - a bit too hard for me ;-)

villhest 2013-08-27 21:57

Excellent!

andrewshouldice 2013-08-27 22:37

This game told me I was good at it, which made me feel good about myself. 10/10.

namrog84 2013-08-27 23:50

made it to lvl 5, pretty great.
loved the shadows and style and controls

matthewvermaak 2013-08-28 00:02

Some good action. Well done!

vile-smile 2013-08-28 00:22

The controls were tight, the music was great and the graphics were nice. Very good!

mikegbrown 2013-08-28 00:55

Fun little game. The spell is so good I never even used the melee.

diptoman 2013-08-28 06:45

This game is addicting!
Love the effects each weapon has. I'm amazed by the amount of work you guys put in.

Great job on this!

reaperguy 2013-08-28 08:31

Really liked it and very impressive for 3 days. With a bit more work on the graphics it would be awesome!

recursor 2013-08-28 12:02

Those stinking yellow slimes were the cause of my demise in the end. They were just too fast for me.

truiton 2013-08-28 12:33

"Hoooo come here cute little blob! You want a hug? is that your big brothAAARGGGGGGGH"
*You have died*
:))

benswinden 2013-08-28 14:27

I love the simplicity. Perfect feel for the fast addictive gameplay

crazi456 2013-08-28 23:49

Fun game! Good work!

volute 2013-08-29 22:14

Great take on the theme, very well thought

p4nurge 2013-08-30 16:10

There is a lot of content in this and it's very nicely balanced. A really fun entry with a slick visual style (the background and lighting in particular). Good work!

finnegan2100 2013-08-30 17:37

Really glad I played this one! Love the graphics, weapon options, fighting, etc. etc. Awesome!

tobiasw 2013-08-31 16:57

I absolutely love the way you're giving me the choice of what to use and to try it out at the same time. And with which mouse button. And fully ingame. Seriously, that's some great integration there that I've never quite seen like this before.

The gameplay itself is fun, but after a few days it degraded (at least for me) mostly to running away - which is a pity!

The graphics are great - I like the dark/night lighting. The character design for the main hero is really cool, and the attack animations (especially the sword) works out really well. Walking animations would've been great, but I guess that's really hard to do if you can walk in any direction while facing any direction...

The controls are perfect. The music is okay, but it think it could fit better. The sound effects work.

All in all, a pretty solid game!

otus 2013-08-31 17:33

I like how you get to pick your own weapons, and how there's a nice variety to them.

I also like the skull that appears as you lose health. Nice presentation!

static-64 2013-09-02 16:19

This has a great style and is really fun to play. I made it to day 10 with a sword and shield. Really fun.

darkshadow 2013-09-02 16:41

Duo control system is a great innovation, I like how you can mix and match items and all have their uses. Going all mange is quite fun shooting fireballs and the defensive spell is great pushing you away from danger AND freezing the enemy! Graphic and map are nice, music is nice although out of theme with the rest of the setting. If you do a post comp version a walk animation for the guy would be an idea.

schnerble 2013-09-02 17:05

Great work! Very cool - it's a nice all-round effort, and I'm glad you finished it :) It does get very hard very quickly, though!

colapsydo 2013-09-02 17:06

That was a lot of fun!
I didn't see the first time that you can upgrades your objects.
I hate the small yellow ones they are too fast for me.

nsadie 2013-09-02 19:13

Nice controls, like how you mapped the items to the mouse clicks. Impressive and nicely polished!

graytest 2013-09-02 19:49

Fun game. I'll probably play a few more times when I have a real mouse connected to my laptop.

erhune 2013-09-03 03:49

Very nice concept and realization!

Once you get your magic level 40+ it's quite difficult to die, though :p

minionstudios 2013-09-03 14:39

Excellent and impressive game, full of great features!

bvanschooten 2013-09-08 12:24

The game feels very complete. The items and the left-right click control scheme work well, although I did get a sore finger from too much clicking at some point. This would be even greater with multiple levels (say, you enter a new room after level 40).

withoutpillow 2013-09-10 19:03

crazy difficult but very fun! and the artstyle is great!

mlinus 2013-09-13 10:47

Really hard and fun game. I liked the double weapon/attack system. :D
