Very nice game! IT's an interesting adaption of the theme and the game is very polished!

2014-04-29 08:51

Plain awesome! Can't wait to see the making of.

2014-04-29 10:48

Awesome game. Very cool!

lacaranian 2014-04-30 05:12

Cool art! Always wondered if something was setting up traps in platformers on purpose.

ruerob 2014-04-30 11:24

Very good and exciting game. But i would like another kind of controlls. Thank you for this game.

hyoga-3d 2014-04-30 12:20

Nice gameplay and art is very very cool. But it was was too big, it too some minutes to load it here, maybe it could be a little more faster.

teamflare 2014-04-30 13:54

Thanks alot :) We'll try to get some better compression for the textures to make the game abit smaller.

maniulo 2014-04-30 19:24

Very nice idea, but the controls seemed kind of clunky. Maybe optional keyboard controls could work better.

eteeski 2014-04-30 21:46

Very amazing! Great presentation! Really fun gameplay!

munkeebacon 2014-04-30 21:47

The development was pretty good, game play felt a little bit stale but other then that, good game!

towelking 2014-04-30 21:48

Incredibly polished game for a jam, well done. I enjoyed the mechanic of slaughtering the invading knights as well. And i really liked the video intro.

crocantidepollo 2014-04-30 21:52

Really nice art! Controls are a little unresponsive sometimes though, but overall it's very good!

radmars 2014-04-30 21:52

Very pretty, loved the graphics style, audio was great too.
The controls were a big painpoint for me though, too sluggish and clunky. Takes a good amount of the fun out of it. :( Great entry though :D

skunkaroony 2014-04-30 21:54

That was amazing... There was something oddly satisfying about seeing those knights get slaughtered, especially when squishing them with the rocks. ;) Great job!

baykush_figtree 2014-04-30 21:56

I feel like a terrible person for playing this.
The polish is astounding but the controls feel kinda rigid.

bukaneerz 2014-04-30 21:56

Awesome !
The music and the graphics are fantastics !
and the gameplay is so cool (:

deathbread 2014-04-30 22:00

Overall a great game! Very well polished and a fun experience.

vilya 2014-04-30 22:55

Wow! Absolutely amazing!

tijmentio 2014-04-30 23:22

This is sooo frickin' polished, hot damn nice work y'all. Llllloved it.

jacklehamster 2014-05-01 01:12

The game is gorgeous. Even though this is 3D, at first glance it looked like something you would find in stop motion animation.

democritus 2014-05-01 12:21

Good job on the intro video - it's really minimal but works well. A bit shorter would have been nice though :)

taylorlunt 2014-05-01 13:29

Very cool.

franklins-ghost 2014-05-01 13:38

Well done game and the opening intro was something I hadn't seen yet, so nice job. Also fun to kill off those pesky knights.

blockbot 2014-05-01 13:45

Really f***ing fun game, nice!

archaeometrician 2014-05-01 14:08

Sublime work ! Absolutely amazing, the sounds and music, the intro video, the wonderful graphics... The ending is also amazing, the lose video is great. Amazing work guys !

priorblue 2014-05-01 14:18

Wow, the intro/outro is just amazing. The graphics speaks for himself and the game concept is hilarious. This is really art! 5 of 5 Stars for your team.

bombjack 2014-05-01 20:15

Amazing art and fun gameplay! great job!

mattv 2014-05-01 20:39

great game, great art, fun to play! Not much challenge but loved killing those dudes.

christinaneofotistou 2014-05-01 23:12

Punish the knights! Yeah!

The graphics are so beautiful. The best in this LD I think! I'm standing there looking at the 3D. Wow! You guys knew what you were doing!!!!!!!

The game could be a little more engaging, but it's a good start! Are you developing further?

Lovely to see this, top marks for graphics!!

xenosns 2014-05-01 23:28

Love the artwork! Gruesome but fun.

thorig 2014-05-02 07:12

Great game and well polished. Great job.

mortus 2014-05-02 08:47

Awesome game! Glad I've found it, it's getting so much less attention than it deserves!

velinje 2014-05-03 09:50

Got stuck on a few bugs. Had some trouble with changing the active station of the character also. But overall it had humor and was fun to play, with interesting graphics. :)

konrad-zegis 2014-05-03 22:06

Woah, looks very good, and reminds me visually of Little Big Planet :D and I love concept. It's good to be bad once in a while :)

actionremix 2014-05-04 03:56

Wow, I feel TERRIBLE :|

spotco 2014-05-04 11:35

Ridiculously impressive art!

sk16games 2014-05-04 14:14

Hahaha genious game xD Love the sound acting :D

dustystylus 2014-05-04 14:28

Absolute loveliness! <3 Main character anim seemed unusual, but it might be the speed he moves out. That's a *very* pedantic and minor point for what is an amazing entry. Well done!

ninjascript 2014-05-04 14:33

Thanks for the cats!

hippolyta 2014-05-04 15:07

A very nice and polished game!
It looks amazing for a LD entry and plays very well - good job!

lars-faust 2014-05-04 15:51

Weird mix of english and german in the title and description (why not just stick with Schwarzwald? Or Black Forest?), but apart from that the presentation is something very unique for a LD game. Good job.

Gameplay fits the theme and plays well, too.

withoutpillow 2014-05-04 16:22

what a unique style! nice work!

flavio 2014-05-04 16:53

Very nice entry !
The controls where not that easy on a trackpad, but I really liked your result
Nice work !

Looking for the next par of you making of :)
Cheers !

split82 2014-05-04 17:25

Great job. I got few problems with controls but otherwise it's perfect!

paperblurt 2014-05-04 18:04

It's like a true fairy tale with awesome graphics.
Amazeballs.

mcapraro 2014-05-05 01:20

Well done guys, interesting mechanic and really high-quality visuals!

zerkruemler 2014-05-05 19:09

Quite unique game loosely coupled with the theme. Fantastic graphics and nice sounds. The gameplay is also interesting for a while...

jacques_le_lezard 2014-05-05 22:45

Good job guys, that's a really nice game with a unic design! =)
(just there is a bug on level 2, no any new knights was spawning when I reach 12/14)

conormn 2014-05-06 01:42

Really love the concept here. Great job on the execution!

wicht 2014-05-06 07:22

Very well executed game. The art style is quite awesome. Had fun, thanks!

jorgemoag 2014-05-07 21:38

AWESOME GRAPHICS!!!
I love the game

adrian 2014-05-11 11:42

Your game is very nice!!
Gameplay and graphics are fantastic !

mokujinzergman 2014-05-11 16:49

When i see the graphics ... WOOAHHH !!! Awesome !
The animations are impressive.
And when the knights dies ... FATALITY !

The sounds are great too.

The end video is very cool and made me laugh a lot.

An excellent entry.

11 peoples ! you are an hell of a team !

I've not manage to move the character to see what's coming, maybe some traveling instead of clicking on the next trap to move him.

matthias_zarzecki 2014-05-11 20:53

Excellent work!

drprettypatty 2014-05-13 01:50

Woah, the production value on this is amazing! Loved the intro video and graphics and narration!

aelita1992 2014-05-13 21:54

Wow, cool graphics and interesting game, hope it will be further developed.

anoarith 2014-05-14 03:46

Ahah I wasn't expecting this intro that was really cool :D !

Graphics were absolutely awesome ! Gameplay was original but maybe too repetitive.

Great game anyway :) !

phocker 2014-05-14 05:14

bloody well done - I love the tower defense idea - and the models were great

kirbytails7 2014-05-16 07:13

Very fun and very polished! It would be nice to have a bit more time to scout things out before the knights start spawning.

oye-beto 2014-05-16 08:07

At first it was confusing which click was for what but then I got used to it.

Great job with the graphics, animations are too simple but the game looks good overall.

udo 2014-05-16 10:14

Wow, that was simply amazing work, very well done black-forest people!

lukepilgrim 2014-05-16 11:56

what an awesome game! the music rocks!

woo00154 2014-05-16 20:34

Superb graphics and mood control, but the gameplay... just lolz

phi 2014-05-18 10:46

Love it! You know how to entertain me, even with a simple game like this. I could sit here and watch these knights die all day... Does this sound weird?
But seriously, great job on graphics and sound. I love that the atmosphere is kind of dusky, but the silly music and sound effects make it an awesome combination of mysticality and black humour.
Thanks for this, and congratulations on your victory in advance!

depp 2014-05-18 18:22

Very nice! The timing is a bit hard to work out, though.

officialcodenmore 2014-05-18 18:40

Well designed, and fun! Well done!

ob6160 2014-05-18 19:45

Fun to play great story and humorous too :)

kikaz 2014-05-18 21:28

Wow, just perfect ! Cool graphics, nice polished, excellent tower defense game style ! nice Intro and Outro ^^

gfm 2014-05-18 23:10

Very fun game!
The narration was a great special touch.

And wow... that scenario!

dans17 2014-05-18 23:46

Cool game! Except it took me a few times to get it to work. This is due to a bug that happens when you try to crush one of the knights with a block. If you miss by a little bit, the knight will turn around and if they make it all the way back to the beginning of the level they will walk off of the map making the level unbeatable as the knight is still alive.

elefantopia 2014-05-19 00:17

Nice game! Cool sound effects and graphics. Gruesome deaths :(

wilbefast 2014-05-19 22:10

Hehe this is like reverse-lemmings :P might need a little more gameplay polish (too much latency between clicking on a trap and the trap being activated IMHO), but certainly from a graphical and audio point of view the game is just beautiful ^^ I really love the trailer too, you guys are insane ;)
