Just spotted a critical bug! One of the monster types can't be killed and thus you can't end your gameplay. We'll kill that bug asap! Give us 10 mins to reupload the version!

Me ha molado la fusión entre 3d y 2d, un buen resultado usando Unity, la estética es brutal. ¡¡felicidades!!

kalth-streil 2013-12-17 20:15

Thanks javi :)

Btw, all is fixed now! You can now play to your heart's content!

ekilibr 2013-12-17 20:57

Enjoyed it ! Thanks ;)

Love this game! Controls felt a bit slow but otherwise than that I loved everything about the game - the design felt unique, the music was great, the story was great and the animations and effects were cool. I just wish Slimes had a cooler death animation. :p Well done!!

Feels kinda zelda-ish in a way.

drprettypatty 2013-12-17 21:12

Nice, I picked the wand and had a hard time timing the rock dropping onto the slimes, but it was fun!

stefan 2013-12-17 21:16

You obviously put a lot of effort into this game. Putting together 200MB in a weekend is impressive ;) Unfortunately, the weapons worked only few times for me when I hit the left mouse button. I didn't understand when I was able to use the weapons. Also, I think your mixture of 2d and 3d graphics is a little confusing. All the lights and room had a nice athmosphere, this is great. And also the music is wonderful, creating a song like this takes some time I guess. Its a nice game and an interesting take to the theme :)

kalth-streil 2013-12-17 21:18

Originally slimes had a nice rolling death animation, but I was messing with plane rotations and the scripter hated me, so I left only the colour part :(

Also, the wand is intended to be hard to aim, because it hits for double the arrows heh and you also get teleport, which is awesome for melee enemies XD

Thanks for the comments :)

By the way, nobody commented on the nerd references so far :( The infamous three-red-lights of the Xbox 360, the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann / Kill La Kill enemies, the player death... XD

kalth-streil 2013-12-17 21:20

Hey stefan, what'd you mean you couldn't make the weapons work? They should work every time you hit the mouse, as long as the animation has finished (has a small cooldown to prevent spamming XD)

The 2D/3D idea was originally intended for a different setting, so I can see why some wouldn't really like it :)

toureiro 2013-12-17 22:13

Very interesting how you mixed 3d and 2d elements!

Nice intro story for a game! I tested the staff but found fighting with it very dragging as it is hard to hit with it and it doesn't even kill things very fast.

piat 2013-12-17 22:19

very nice effort, the style is nice and its great you got in as much content as you did.

soy_yuma 2013-12-17 22:24

I like the small details you can find everywhere! Apart from the mentioned memes, it's nice to read this secrets when you die :-) On the downside, I felt it was a bit repetitive to start again when you die...

kalth-streil 2013-12-17 22:48

Well for you people dying, I'm gonna drop some pro tips:
-Wrench: prepare the attack before closing up on the enemy. Most enemies should die of 1-2 hits. (Hard)
-Crossbow: keep moving all the time while raining bolts on the slimes. (Easy)
-Magic wand: keep moving but point to where the slimes would be in 3s. If you get melees in range, warp away. Try to keep yourself on the bottom of the area to be able to warp better. (Easy~Hard)

Heh.. Pretty fun to play... greed consumed me. XD Would have loved to see what else would happen, but I was not going through all that again. XD

kalth-streil 2013-12-18 00:10

Greedy b*! XD

Thanks for playing :D

I'm gonna put the Yogo endings in the original post so the curious people won't die :)

So check them!: http://pastebin.com/AZCNHMCY

Great game! a full story and everything! I enjoyed playing this! although it became a little repetitive.

bsowers 2013-12-20 19:09

Neat hack 'n slash game. Loved the introduction.

joekinley 2013-12-21 07:43

The controls felt a bit wonky, and it felt slower than it could have been.
I love the visuals. It is a stunning effect, and somehow reminded me of "Don't starve".
Also I liked the audio pretty much.

The intro tho.. was toooooo long. I know, it's not nice to try to skip that, as it surely is effort on your side, but nobody reads those things. Especially when it turns out to not be relevant for the actual game. So sorry about that.
Good job on the game tho. It was quite fun.

kalth-streil 2013-12-21 12:32

It's ok, the intro was originally meant to be skippable, but that was cancelled due to a last minute bug :(

We know that not many care about stories, but we thought we'd still provide one for those who enjoy some context for their killing!

Definitely needs some QA on the speed of the attacks, but what's wonky about the controls themselves? I found the WASD + mouse a flawless combo!

Thanks for the review by the way :D

Oh! A lot of text in here. I like to play more than read text. Gameplay is an international speakless language )
But game is crazy! All this flat enemies are freak me out )
Good job!

taylorlunt 2013-12-25 08:55

I liked the art style. The sprites should have been vertical, not laying on the ground though.

thepsc1997 2013-12-25 09:12

I like graphics, fonts and art style. Wonderful! ;-)

tex-killer 2014-01-04 03:25

Very well polished, despite a few bugs on the doors! I was hoping for a bonus stage with the witch, if I choose the "leave" instead of the cat, but it was a nice experience nonetheless!
