dis gayme is awesozmee!1!!
great game, loved it, keep it up, ad add more quippy quotes now and again, would of kept the humour up
this look really solid
Best game yet, really well done. Good Job.
Nice idea, nice art, great job!
Great game! music and graphics are awesome!
Great game, a little pause between the waves would have been nice. Looks amazing
nice job, It was quite challenging, specially controlling the bar
Oooh, this is a great start to something rad. Needs some obvious additions and fixes and stuff, but what you have here is really compelling. I love the 'balance/tilt' mechanic and the wave progression. I say keep working on this one.
Interesting and fun Game.
Very nice graphics and good music.
In the beginning I always destroyed my own mine because I did not understand that I affect the "health" of the mine with my own hammer.
Once I got this it was actually a bit to easy and a bit boring... Just waiting for the stability bar to go up before striking again.
I got to wave 17 until I accedently destroyed my mine again...
My suggestion:
The dwarf should not be able to destroy the mine. With the stability bar you could control how many times the dwarf could strike with the hammer.
The goblins should be more powerful against the miners. I still had about 8 miners at the end of wave 17 until my infamous self destruction.
@DanEEStar The growth is exponential, so it'll get more hectic and it is definitely difficult at some point. We have to make some compromises on balancing and finishing the game, but we sure had re-balancing in mind. Haha
Thanks for the amazing responses guys! They mean a lot to us!
great concept, very fun!
Cool! Great job guys!
Yeah Awesome game ! I like it
I saw a lot of black boxes instead of enemy sprites. Made it harder to tell what's going on.
We are aware of this black boxing issue. We are trying to fix this. But weirdly enough this issue did not appear to us a single time during the jam.. And it still does not. :p
Trying to fix it though, @Crowbeak :)
FYI: I've seen the black box issue appear on people with Mac. Worked fine on my Windows machine.
It's a WebGL related thing with sprites that are not in a power of 2, atleast that can be one of the reasons. PIXI JS should be able to handle this, but seemingly that doesn't always work. We'll look into it!
Wow. Excellent graphics, smooth controls and nice and original gameplay that perfectly fits the theme. Good job !
By the way, I'm on a Mac and I didn't have any black box problem.
Thank you so much jujule! We appreciate your kind words a lot :)
very innovative! the music gets a bit repetetive, but it fits the goblins style i guess, some soundeffects for the special hammer moves with be the finishing touch..solid game..
We've been smashing on tables and throwing stuff on the ground but we couldn't really get to a good sound effect. Haha. Too bad we didn't have a sound designer :P Thanks!
Amazing looking game, it had some problems figuring out how the pickups worked, because i missed some when i jumped somehow. would recommend adding some sounds for the attacks
this game is so awesome. highest rating for me so far and added to my favorites list. outstanding.
I found that managing the stability bar to be a bit awkward, but otherwise this was a stupendously excellent game.
got to level 14, but didn't hear any music? Firefox 12.0 on Mac.
This game has great potential! Was a bit strange at the beginning though, because I pressed W twice and lost 2 times before I understood who I was
Haha, oh well. Firefox doesn't like standard HTML5 audio unless they're in an ogg format. The game plays best in Chrome.
Wow. Really addictive and good game :D
Awesome work!
Nice game!, really polished. You guys did a great job.
I had some issues with chrome on OSX. I could see some black squares, but that's only rendering issue, the game it self is pretty decent! good job
Really great game! Interesting and original game mechanic.
its a really fucking game!!!
congratulations!!!
but I confess to you, was very hard to understand I need to do in the first 10 fucking times. In beginner, all the things looked so confused, "what I need to do?!", "fuckkk", "what I do wrong, Why!!!"
ok its that. =)
Very nice! Could definitely do with some sound effects though.
Thanks guys! :)
Wow, that's fun! Excellent graphics, great use of theme, nice music and solid gameplay. Made it to wave 23 before I accidentally collapsed my mine :[
Awesome sound, graphics and solid gameplay!
Really cool game, love it :)
Looks very good! Wish there were some sound effects, but the visual appeal is very nice! Nice song too!
Love this, felt really good to smash the goblins into a pulp xD
Hahaha yeah it's awesome, if I may say so myself! :)
Very nice game, i really enjoyed playing it. The only thing I didn't like was the confusion of the left and right controls when the character was upside down xD but no worries. Great job!
black box issue, can't seem to play it :(
Liked the music and the graphics. Nice game!
We are aware of this issue and we'll attempt to fix it, but we're not exactly sure what might be causing it. I'll have some free time when I get home, so I'll google some stuff. Please stay tuned.
Really good entry.. but no sound effects? Awesome game!
Nice graphics and music!
Damn, that is a really solid and polished game! It was pretty cool to be moving on the outer side of the world whilst the conflict within was going on. I think the death triggered by fatigue is a bit too unexpected, perhaps slowing the character down a little would make the effect feel more detrimental. As is I thought he would just need to take a little breather and then I'd be able to move again.
The powers were really cool and the enemies were varied enough to be exciting. Amazing amount of work you managed to get done, had a ton of fun playing it :)
A good and solid game, i just found it getting boring after a few minutes.
Also getting the blackbox issue here. I know you're working it. If it helps though, the ones I got seemed to be stationary small ones - perhaps animated miners when they aren't running from goblins? I couldn't see them the whole time. Other than that some of the attack animations were black boxed but then went away afterwards (W attack I think). The most problematic was using R, which I assume to be 6 giant hammers all at once. Those blackboxes stayed the whole rest of the game, basically ruining the whole experience because they cover so much.
It's because most of our textures aren't in a power of 2. So we'll have to do some really solid refactoring for that. Currently we're all at our internships and we don't have as much time to work on it, communication is a bit of a problem due to that. We'll see what we can do, thanks for the feedback!
Hey congrats on your first LD!
The graphics are awesome and the controls are pretty solid: the game is nervous and you feel powerful with that hammer.
However, I think that the lack of actual game sounds is really hurting the experience.
We hit up with a sound designer for the sounds. However, I do not think we may actually place the sounds in the entry as it's quite a huge change. Especially because you can rate sound.
I loved the music! Great entry overall
