Oh wow this game is addictive !

5you 2014-12-08 17:50

Prety cool ! But i didn't really understood how i can choose the object i use.

recursiveanomaly 2014-12-08 17:53

Sweet! Now I just need someone to play with :)

slepice1 2014-12-08 18:09

Amazing, AI stuck sometimes but thats just detail.

skeeto 2014-12-08 18:19

Great graphics and audio! You've got the start of something interesting here. I like that there's an automatic demo with the title screen. Very old school that way.

The shooting part of the gameplay is incomplete. It's very shallow being locked horizontally like that. It's basically whoever has the highest health wins in a direct confrontation.

ghostbomb 2014-12-08 18:21

Absolutely incredible. The AI is surprisingly good, thought you can do a few things to exploit it.

exoddinary 2014-12-08 18:23

Awesome!!

mahu 2014-12-08 18:24

Gente! muito bom mesmo! os gráficos ficaram simples e as animações fluídas! muito show! a música e a sonorização tbm! Parabéns! é nózes kuupu!

liamlime 2014-12-08 18:59

Me and a friend were talking about particle effects, and discussed one of your blog posts, which showed the blocks exploding. Wanted to play the game since then, glad I finally did! Well done, nicely polished. It feels like a finished game, or at least a vertical slice of one.

2014-12-08 20:13

awsome game :D continue to improve it, can be a good deal :D

vamoo :D

gamepopper 2014-12-08 22:03

Man this game is fun!

runvs 2014-12-08 22:13

This has truely towerfall style! Great gameplay and mechanics for the limited time of a gamejam. Plus writing an AI is quite impressive!

lightsoda 2014-12-08 22:26

Feels nice, the movement and graphics reminded me of Cave Story.

zanenga 2014-12-08 22:41

Awesome! I can feel some Towerfall vibes, heheh. It could become a great party game. I hope you develop it further.

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-08 23:39

Very good game. One of my favorites!

allanolivei 2014-12-08 23:42

awesome .. AI works very well and provides a good fight.

adroitboss 2014-12-08 23:43

Awesome

error031 2014-12-08 23:44

It's very hard to stop playing xD Little AI improvement and maybe random generated levels and you have a great game :D

binarybot 2014-12-08 23:51

Really fun and addicting game!

dexyne 2014-12-09 00:00

Great game, good graphics and sounds.

AI stop to move at times (probably to think about a devilish plan).
The gameplay is interesting too.

rabbit 2014-12-09 00:13

Holy crap! This is a lot of fun.

For some reason I just couldnt shoot anymore though? Not sure why.

march 2014-12-09 00:44

One word...amazing....

tayloranderson 2014-12-09 00:47

I like the concept, but after a while there were some pretty frequent frame drops. Also, I wish health were over the player's heads so I could get a better feel of when I'm about to die, without having to look all the way at the top of the screen.

dreii 2014-12-09 00:58

I love it, you captured the essence of the type of game I was trying to make perfectly. Simple, quick paced, good game feel. Good job!

bakudas 2014-12-09 01:17

awesome :D

ozcr 2014-12-09 01:20

Really cool game, I love the pixelart.

Give mine a try, http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=44154

cinderous 2014-12-09 01:25

Wow, really awesome. I had to pull myself away! I downloaded the windows version for some multiplayer fun next time I have someone over :) Art style is awesome, music is awesome, gameplay is stellar!

2014-12-09 02:21

Very fun!

mentalblockgaming 2014-12-09 02:52

Very nice! And AI too!

brombatti 2014-12-09 04:44

Jogo muito divertido! Animações bem feitas, partículas deixam o gameplay visualmente divertido e muito bem acabado. As mecânicas também ficaram bem interessantes. Parabéns pelo game! (;

unioncorp 2014-12-09 11:12

wow, ficou bem interessante! o único ponto que eu destacaria que poderia ser aprimorado para uma versão futura é a AI do inimigo, que não consegue chegar ao topo da tela algumas vezes. E é, como alguém aqui abaixo falou, demorei um pouquinho pra perceber que bloco era o próximo que eu usaria mas ficou bem viciante! me divertindo bastante aqui xD

equipejam 2014-12-09 11:47

Extremamente divertido! Musica viciante e gameplay viciantes, e apesar da IA travar um pouco eu ainda consegui perder pra ela =P!!

technomancer 2014-12-09 12:21

Whoa, this game is AWESOME!

stigmawall 2014-12-09 13:24

Imagina esse jogo com quatro pessoas, cada uma em um controle, numa tv? Ia ficar animal, hein? O jogo completo esta muito bom. A mecânica de criar blocos eu curti e a IA ta muito boa pra quem teve de implementa-la na Jam. Meus dois cents: se eu não me mexo, a IA também não, ou demora horrores para tomar uma decisão. NICE JOB!!! (y)

deyteris_team 2014-12-09 14:33

One of the best at this LD Jam!

thiaguera 2014-12-09 14:55

AWESOME!

spilim 2014-12-09 16:24

Nice entry =) Simple but fun as it should be, good thing you spend time creating an simple AI, otherwise it would have been harder to test the idea. It took me quite sometime to understand the blocks power though. The screenshake and details were what made the game a lot more entertaining also.
Bem, bom trabalho de qualquer jeito =)

mintarcade 2014-12-09 16:40

Nice game - keyboard controls are hard, but xbox controller seems to be working fine. Other than that very addictive and challenging. (btw, once you downloaded my game, is it less laggy for you? Press [q] to toggle render - that might help)

2014-12-09 17:47

Excelente!!!

aaronjbaptiste 2014-12-09 21:27

Bloody brilliant.

rnlf 2014-12-09 21:49

Looks and sounds beautiful!

trixton 2014-12-10 02:13

2P would be more fun than that AI. I think having powerups that give more information visually as to what they are would be nice. Overall great job though.

thopis 2014-12-10 07:05

I had fun and the AI is really great!Have to play it with a friend!Beautiful!

creative-sectors 2014-12-10 15:00

In short: This is awesome.

Long version:
Multiplayer "sandbox" platformer in 72 hours, simply amazing! This is as good as a game can be.
The graphics are nice, the audio is catchy and I'm sure it is infinite amount of fun to play with someone - I don't have anyone else here to play with at the moment.
Keep up the good work!

Purrfect, it is Kardfogú-approved.
Kardfogú of Creative Sectors, out.

gungnir 2014-12-11 15:18

Well done, thanks.

menesetsu 2014-12-11 15:36

Very nice polished gameplay. I really liked it. Definetely will play it with a friend ;)

blockers 2014-12-11 22:38

woah! this is extremely fun. im gonna have to find an irl friend to try this with. love the sounds and in general this game feels great. also loving the title screen demo.

pegigante 2014-12-12 23:22

Fantastic! Congratulations.

mventurelli 2014-12-13 12:48

Best, most polished game I've seen on this LD so far! Congratulations :D

burgerdare 2014-12-14 00:46

very creative! The block placing mechanic actually introduced quite a bit more tactical depth than I would have initially thought. Not all of the blocks made a ton of sense, though, in terms of their effects in battle.

tritegames 2014-12-14 14:56

What a great multiplayer game. Like the graphics, the sounds, the gameplay. The AI and to learn all the different block mechanics are a little hard for beginners, but maybe I'm just not good at this and need more practice ^^ Well done, putting it on Twitter :)

gfm 2014-12-15 02:29

I remember seeing some posts about the AI during the jam. Good to see you guys were able to do it. :)
Also, you guys really polished this! :)

It should be really fun when playing with friends. :)

frederickk 2014-12-15 03:56

I found it very enjoyable! :)
Probably is much better with 2 players, but the CPU also works very nice for a Jam game!
Congratz!

eduardo 2014-12-15 15:05

This looks really fun, i love the pixel art. The destructible block are awesome!

I want to plaaay, but i can't play unity games!!

igoramendola 2014-12-16 17:48

Pretty awesome and very well made!
Excellent work on graphics, sounds, gameplay, AI, etc.
Really nice entry :D

vladik-plays 2014-12-17 16:36

Game crashed.. :C

seconddimension 2014-12-18 14:15

Really nicely polished, and some cool powerups

seconddimension 2014-12-18 14:18

^ also meant to say that particle effects and block destruction is really cool

tuism 2014-12-26 11:21

Wow what a well polished set! Love the gameplay, the juice is amazing, the sounds and graphics, everything. It's basically a done deal :)

It plays a little unsophisticated though, despite all the options you have, it comes a lot down to who gets to face the opponent more often than the other, and that becomes a game of if you win the first exchange, you'll lose the next one, etc, etc.

Getting in a "lucky hit" with the grenade becomes pivotal, but it basically drifts in one direction + bounce, if you stay away from the other players' grenade zone you're likely fine...

Not sure if you can select weapons or what.

Oh and jump on the keyboard, imo, should be up (w), not space. Up is more intuitive on the keyboard.

martial_cantarel_games 2014-12-27 14:50

!!!!!!!!

rico-albe 2014-12-27 18:21

Eventually we were both at the bottom, just shooting one another without much movement, so the fun had gone all away. Building bricks could be bigger, and restrict shooting somehow. Grenades weren't of much use, either.

Sounds are pretty good, and so are the graphics. A bit more of work refining the mechanics could go a long way. Good job!

ponk 2014-12-29 15:44

Amazing :) !
