Very nice visuals and audio! It would be nice to see something like a combo multiplier, so it is more satisfying when you kill multiple enemies in a short time.

I really like game. And it's awesome, that you use Love2D!

A cool idea, to play as the boss instead of the adventurers! Agree with the combo multiplier comment, perhaps some screenshake. Neat. :D

Like the visuals very much, but it needs mode juicyness! (screenshakes, particles and convincing sounds) :D

dsilvers 2014-12-09 15:51

Very nice! On the easy side, though. Never felt like any of the adventurers were much of a threat and I could pretty much run them over. Screenshake would indeed make this more satisfying, as well as some other pickups like the adventurers' loot that could be spent on traps and such, and maybe giving the player a bit less health. Also, ditch the Papyrus font in the menus. It's like the Comic Sans of fancy fonts.

Solid, but as others have said, more feedback from high numbers of kills would be good. Also, Clicking once doesn't make you shoot once (sometimes you shoot twice, sometimes not at all) which confused me for a bit until I realized you just hold the mouse down.

windmill-games 2014-12-09 16:22

@DiegoMustache The shooting part sounds odd, are you sure that it is not your mouse that is acting up? I have tested it on multiple computers and asked friends to do so as well, no one has had said issue.

crashes for me on osx (yosemite) unfortunately (once i move my mouse) :(

I like the graphics. Interesting game. I agree with adding like a boss or a combo effect.

HelkeGames 2014-12-09 17:21

Interesting game ... I found it really fun to play! Well done!

Just awesome. I enjoyed everything about this game. Though I really think you could've made it a bit more interesting. Also I didn't like the sound the spells you cast make. But overall it's great. Good Job!

nuno 2014-12-09 17:24

great work with the graphics. hi-five from another Löver ;)

zwergesel 2014-12-09 17:28

Well made game. High score: 393

I love the graphics and the audio! Always fun to play games where you are the bad guy! Got 623 points. Thanks for the game and Merry Christmas!

These heroes are so tiny and adorable.

yarek 2014-12-10 15:24

A really good game. I think you have here the first step of a more complex and unique game :D

piotrevic 2014-12-10 15:29

Nice graphics. This is something more than just top-down shooter.

newt_ 2014-12-10 23:25

Looks really really awesome!

cyrixd 2014-12-10 23:31

Pretty fun game! I especially liked the adherence to RPG-player tropes: warrior charges the boss, ranger kites endlessly, mage stands still blasting with magic, and rogue ignores everything else and heads for the treasure.

maybeimelias 2014-12-11 14:48

Very fun game! Controls were perfectly simple for this type of game, graphics were great, and audio set the mood well. I think instead of MP, you could make good use of time locked skills or if you want to keep MP, go a more item heavy approach, but for a start this game rocks! Great job.

npexception 2014-12-11 15:36

Great game!
Another good example of what people can do with the LÖVE engine. :)
A score multiplier for multiple consecutive kills would be really nice.
And I have to take a look on how you did the dynamic lighting. Looks nice!

ViliX 2014-12-12 13:54

Well made and polished game :)

thalia 2014-12-13 02:44

Like background, music and enemies.

robert_steiner 2014-12-13 08:57

Great. I love the fact that every type of the enemy behaves differently. Fluid movement and real time shadows that dont need to be in there just add to the feeling.

bereuge 2014-12-14 13:21

Nice game! Gameplay is well done but it gets repetitive after a while. Very cool lighting effects!

@Night, the (linux specific) issue has been fixed. Thanks for letting us know!

maxmetallica 2014-12-29 21:09

nice work

kualitygames 2014-12-29 21:12

This is exactly the type of style and gameplay I like. Nice artstyle but I expected a bit more flashyness. I guess it just needs some polishing. Goodjob!
