.ink How to I run the game?

capitals 2013-12-16 08:09

You have to download the game and run the shortcut.

coblynau 2013-12-16 18:20

Good start, you should continue your idea. :)

A good first attempt! Nice graphics and smooth motion. Would have been cool to see the thing in its finished state.

Ditto the above, good start & the first Ludum is always the hardest.

Personally I don't like to develop graphics beyond just a bunch of colored squares until the core of the game plays as I want to. That why at least the game is done even if doesn't look like anything.

Great for a first LD Jam!

Press 'e' for infinite fun. (If you like the dwarf fortress kind of fun)
Great idea (I like shops and collecting money) Unfortunately I couldn't get my bought items to work. :( But I had fun killing all the green blobs!

Shame about the bought items, I'll look into that and check if I am allowed to upload a fixed version.

Neat idea. Just seems to have little in the way of implementation or end goal.

sudorossy 2013-12-17 01:02

You can feel that's it's unfinished, but it's an interesting idea! Upgrade mechanics in games are cool.

I made it to the end of the library and was fascinated. The start of an interesting survival-runner-type game.

Really good for a first LD, great start for a fun game.

tanser 2013-12-17 12:35

Nice game, just the menu was a bit off for me at the start and I did not hear any sounds... Good job anyway, nice idea. :) I love the graphics too!

joserodolfofreitas 2013-12-17 12:48

Nice graphics!

ekilibr 2013-12-17 12:49

Please continue with this project. Nice idea, wanna see it finished ! Nice job ! It was my first LD jam too, i'm pleased to see other games from beginners like me :)

ditto 2013-12-17 12:56

This was fun in weird way, I have no idea what im doing, but shooting those slimes is pretty fun anyways ;o are those small books that drop the intellect? :P

capitals 2013-12-17 12:57

Yeah, and gold!

mortl8324 2013-12-17 14:12

Awesome game. I can cheat a bit by going all the way right. Also.. I pressed "E" while trying the controls and immediately regretted that decision.

bcadren 2013-12-17 14:19

Got tired of the button spam rather quickly. Good low res sprite quality though.

gbolt 2013-12-17 14:28

Can't run the game.

nichii 2013-12-17 14:43

I don't know what I am doing in this game... but yeah, I would love to see this game in its finished state ;)

lewischaplin 2013-12-17 19:18

was great fun. i enjoyed playing it. first time LD here aswell was a great weekend

2hitadam 2013-12-20 05:06

Falling off the world means I win, right? ;) I liked the upgrade mechanic and the way fireballs worked, think there's a lot of potential here! Also props for making a game starring a badass old man, beating up slime and reading tiny books. Games about old men kicking ass are my fav!

gungnir 2013-12-20 17:35

Nice effort, even if you didn't get all your ideas in there. Tiny books.

liamlime 2013-12-20 22:59

Very good for lwjgl :)

patrickgh3 2014-01-03 07:47

Fun! Spells gliding across the floor was a nice touch. The premise is very entertaining. Good luck if you decide to keep working on it!
