Not bad, although nearly impossible to dodge the sword, I find.

Good game and clean mechanics. Good use of theme too well done!

Nice game, impressive that you've managed to make it multiplayer in such a short time.

Great concept! Graphics look very polished, and the mechanic is very interesting, it fits the theme perfectly. Congrats! :)

Very polished for 48hrs. Was a bit hard for me to play due to higher latency, but still heaps of fun.

atomicvikings 2013-12-17 22:05

haha Thats fun ^^ I think this would working great as a multiplayer. Maybe next time you could make also a background sound. Not only beeping noises. Something epic :) That would fit great - Because thats an Epic and easy game!
It's raining stars for you!

Neat game! It took me a moment to tell which one was me. More visual distinction would help in that regard.

raiyumi 2013-12-17 23:08

Really fun game! Especially with the multiplayer. :)

hoqjed 2013-12-17 23:16

As someone else noted, more visual distinction would have been nice among the characters.

I also found there to be too many players on the field. Perhaps after playing it for a while it becomes easier, but I found that it was overwhelming for the first few seconds to figure out what was going on.

It also makes it difficult for a specific individual to get items, since the likelyhood of being the closest to where it spawns exponentially goes down with more players.

It was a nice idea overall, but I felt like it was too chaotic personally. I didn't feel as if I had any impact, I was but a pawn put on the field to battle other, better pawns haha.

Really cool game! The gameplay seems really balanced and I love it.

heychinaski 2013-12-17 23:32

Thanks for playing and commenting everyone!

@hogjed the number of players depends on how many people are online at once. Perhaps I should have enforced a maximum of around 4.

@AtomicVikings It is a multiplayer, did you only get to fight bots?

methamphetabear 2013-12-18 01:28

Good idea, definitely need 2 player mode

heychinaski 2013-12-18 10:08

@methampetabear Thanks. It is multiplayer, just get someone else to open the game in their browser.

gaspard_ 2013-12-18 16:52

I love the concept! To bad no-one was there while I played...

caribou 2013-12-18 18:35

Simple mechanics and fun to play. Nice to you managed to add bots.

theholychicken 2013-12-19 21:03

Nobody is online... *forever alone face*
But really impressive indeed that you can get multiplayer for LD!

harsanalif 2013-12-20 00:36

I see that it is an online game so I admit that the strange lag movement I experienced is normal. A bit difficult to control though, but interesting arena concept nonetheless.

Jeremias 2013-12-20 19:49

Very neat concept - was even fun to play against the bots! A multiplayer LD-game, respect!

sean-noonan 2013-12-23 22:53

Really good use of the theme :)

benjamin-soule 2013-12-23 23:29

simple and smart gameplay. The game would have been easier to understand with a short intro sequence ( with some flashing Player 1 arrow indicator ) and a timed respawn sequence for the sword. At first I was thinking the sword was falling in the wrong place because of a bug before realize it was a respawn.

thepsc1997 2013-12-24 00:00

Simple and good. I like graphics ;)

kgs0142 2013-12-24 05:54

I like the idea.
Simple but fun lol. :D

shard123 2013-12-24 19:35

Pretty laggy for me but it was an awesome concept, loved the multiplayer

jacob2512 2013-12-30 00:48

requires polish, but good implementation of the theme.

teamflare 2013-12-31 14:12

It's impressive to make a working multiplayer game in that amount of time.

davisan 2014-01-05 13:45

Nice game!
