When I died I lost my staff and I got stuck in a level, think is the 3rd level.
Also there is no sound or music is that correct?
Everything else feels quite good.

zedutchgandalf 2014-04-28 14:54

This is pretty neat!
I like the mechanics, but it could've done with some sort of audio though :)

zed0 2014-04-28 15:01

Fantastic graphics/opening scene.
Reminds me a lot of the enemies from Heart of Darkness.

cawrtz 2014-04-28 20:00

Thanks !
I'm sorry about the audio. I was either sounds or the boss of the game...

icereci 2014-04-28 20:17

Each time I make a long bouncy shot, I was like "Kobe" :)

ludonaut 2014-04-28 20:18

Neat mechanics. Your pixel art is amazing, I love the colors. :)

ellian 2014-04-28 20:24

This game is awesome. Very, very cool! This is my favorite entry so far :)
It's fun to play, the control are weird but not really unfair, and I love how the projectile bouncing is exploited.
A shame that the final boss don't do anything at all! :(

Cool game, the art style was pretty simple, but nice, and it worked well with the gameplay. I found the boss battle too short and easy, but anyway, I really enjoyed the game. Good work! :)

morganbengtsson 2014-04-28 20:43

Nice style and fun gameplay and controls. Audio or music would add a bit.

dusho 2014-04-28 22:12

very cool game... that power of geometry :)
as was already said, this game could really use some sounds and music
also the final boss (spoilers) wasn't doing anything, just sitting there receiving fireballs to the face

cawrtz 2014-04-29 07:30

Thanks !
The boss is supposed to spawn monsters, but it's random :/

This game seems a bit long for the amount of content it has. Mainly there is a lot of lost potential with all the different enemy sprites. There is plenty of oppertunity to use different AI. Same with the levels, there are lots of levels but they are all pretty much the same.

Well done!

bukaneerz 2014-04-29 16:01

Really good game !
I like the graphics, and i like shooting on these dinausaure !
Keep it up !

triplevisiongames 2014-04-29 16:04

I like the movement controls, it feel nice. Would have been cool to shoot with right mouse button instead maybe. Found no bugs but got a glitch on the 3rd level where the little people kept bouncing in and out of the walls

infectionteam 2014-04-29 17:30

Awesome game :D Love the controls, really missed sound effects and music xD

bombjack 2014-04-29 18:49

very fun game! I loved the simple graphics!

yselftool 2014-04-29 20:09

The graphics are great (particle effects!), it's simple and fun, neither easy nor too hard, modern HTML5/JS, and the intro is fun. Great job!

miwuc 2014-04-29 21:14

Very cool! Beautiful art, especially at the beginning and end. I liked the mechanics and really enjoyed playing the game even if I felt like it dragged on a bit. The different types of weapons were cool and renew the gameplay, but all the levels are still pretty similar. Overall quite impressive for 48 hours. Good job!

romko_pidstryhach 2014-04-30 00:08

I like visual style! However Controls are kinda weird. I think WASD + mouse is a better choice for this kind of games. Anyway, nice job!

alexdantas 2014-05-01 19:58

Great game!
Apart from the lack of sound, it was a nice experience.

- Controls are intuitive (although I agree WASD + mouse would be nice)
- Gameplay is solid (powerups were a nice idea, next time I'll implement something like this)
- Art is cute
- Quite addictive, made me play 'til the end.

Oh, and the opening scene really got me into the game.
It really stands out from other entries.

sparrow 2014-05-02 22:45

Very good game, the pistol was the coolest weapon.
Would prefer WASD movement with mouse shooting.

Took a while to realise what the potions were for, but quite fun overall. I didn't vote for audio because there was none, however with some sound effects this would greatly improve the mood.

javadocmd 2014-05-04 22:14

I really love the ability to bounce shots off walls, but the AI needs to do a bit more than sit there and take it for that to work. Still, I thought it was well put together given the time limits. The art and the back story worked really well. Nicely done!

mcapraro 2014-05-06 05:49

neat graphics. the controls were a little tricky but nice entry!

gre 2014-05-07 12:33

Awesome graphics. Good game mecanism. The gameplay is great but a bit hard to play without pad (maybe there should be a key like "arrows up" to move without clicking).
Would deserve some audio also but this is already quite awesome work in 48 hours.
Cheers for not using any library.

myyyvothrr 2014-05-09 12:41

This was really fun to play!

ryebread761 2014-05-14 22:52

Very nice game! The AI could use some work, but that's hard in 48 hours.

copain 2014-05-14 23:38

weird controls, but cool. For me, it is more a puzzle game than other. But, with this point of view, the begin of the levels are stressfull and unfair. If you make a bad start, it's impossible to survive...

cakencode 2014-05-15 00:00

I liked the enemies and the different weapons but the control scheme seemed a bit hard to work with. It was impossible to run from an enemy and shoot at it at the same time, which might be the intention but it didn't add to my level of enjoyment of the game.

I did make it to the final boss and vanquished all the minions before finally defeating the boss itself! Huzzah!

Very cool, there were minor slowdowns here and there but overall it was fun and I enjoyed vanquishing my enemies :)

sirerr 2014-05-15 00:20

Very cool idea, would have been neat to see him go all the way towards the mouse click, I enjoyed it though.

rabbits 2014-05-15 00:35

very good, made it all the way to the end. I really enjoyed how the character was controlled

conormn 2014-05-15 04:34

Super neat game. Took a little bit to get used to the controls, but liked it quite a bit :)

twelveplusplus 2014-05-15 05:46

that was fun. it reminded me of an atari 2600 game for some reason... good work

(although it seemed like some of the little potion thhings didn't do anything... but i wasn't sure)

hammervuis 2014-05-15 11:15

Great game with proper polish, only lacking some sound.

lukepilgrim 2014-05-15 12:31

great gameplay idea :)

thegamefather 2014-05-16 03:20

Nice game, the control is smooth and simple, gameplay is also fun. If the enemy AI can be improved then it's awesome.
