Your land is being invaded by goblins, from beneath.
You need their skulls.
Hack and slash their heads off to satisfy your needs.


controls:

WSAD moves
Space slashes
p start playing/respawn

ooooh this looks neat.

Cooooool weather FX.

Lightning spawn is a splendid idea.

Nice graphics.
Gameplay was slower than I thought it should be, but very well done.

Have you created this liteGame "engine"?
Always looked for a engine directly on SDL, but I couldn't found any. Started to do my own, but now I'll start from scratch again, since I had problems last time I was programming it.
Great job!

@kogyblack

Yes I have been working on liteGame as a small 2d game engine for use in game jams. Its still in its early stages, but forcing myself to use it for this LD was a great way to find its weak points.

More info on my blog if you are interested.

This is probably the most beautiful game ive played tonight!
great job on the pixel art!
not sure how it ties into the theme though D:

Wow, i love the art so much. Awesome game :D
A slightly better gameplay would have done this game a masterpiece ^^

very neatly done! graphics are nice and crisp and animations smooth as hell! Gameplay was a little slow-paced though.

Awesome graphics :)

The gameplay is a little slow and the rain effect looks a bit static, but I really like the pixel art. Well done.

Windows only :(
I'll try to build it for *nix.

Game play felt a bit static but the art was nice. Not completely sure how it's beneath the surface still but not a bad game.

Digging the pixel art graphics!

Very nice graphics. Congrats!

Makes a really good first impression with the moody rain and graphics. Maybe a score counter would have been nice. Well done anyway.
