Really fun game. really intuitive and creative

bobismijnnaam 2014-12-09 22:45

Fun game. I couldn't figure out how to trigger the magic attack but it was pretty fun without it :p The art, sound and game felt really coherent which is pretty good

-Would've been nice to have upgrades on the main character, otherwise you get inevitably overwhelmed by alien riders :(
-Pretty funny storyline :)
-Music and SFX :)
-Was pretty fun but for a short time :|
-No progression in the main character :(

Nice looking and sounding twin-stick shooter. I'm handicapped since I'm playing all these mouse+keyboard games on a touchpad, but I was still able to get a feel for the play since the difficulty curve ramps up smoothly.

LibGDX ftw :)

Very nice game.
Killing multiple enemies at once is satisfying.
Didn't realise at first there were other attacks. Definitely easier with them.
Irritating bug for me was if I moved the mouse outside the window, it would shoot off to the corner, but then I am using a wacom tablet for a mouse.

Really cool game!
I'm a bit bad at firing with the crossbow, but the fire spell is really satisfying :D
Great job guys!!

The game is really funny. Nice gameplay, too

"couldn't download, link didn't work"
Anyone else with this problem?

Fun! :D Graphics are nice, music and sounds are well composing to the whole game and that awesome fus-ro-dah feeling, awesome :D

I'm a roman historian and I can confirm this is 100% accurate to history.

This game is really cool! Nice difficulty curve too.

biliogadafr 2014-12-11 21:10

Nice entry! I like an idea to use melee and ranged weapons together.

joekinley 2014-12-11 21:45

Naaaaaaaaaaa dat stupid final alien ship. Gaaaah.
At first I felt smart stalling one left alien and waiting for healing up properly. Also once I got a double charge of that AWESOME SPACEBAR ITEM. Which I only figured out after I died once on Wave 18.

Then I got to Wave 20, and died. Got to wave 20 again, died again. Can't win this game :(

But it is a pretty cool game. I love that splat sound when I hit those aliens. It was so fun, but a little hard. But so fun. Loved it.

Legionnaires? Aliens? Snowman? "FUN" would be the right word to describe this game.

harley77 2014-12-11 22:31

Fun little hackfest. Awesome job!

skulioskarsson 2014-12-11 22:59

This one is quite fun, good job

justinmullin 2014-12-11 23:55

I had a good time with this one! It gets hard quickly. The balance between melee and ranged is great, with both equally useful in different situations. The nuke effect looks pretty spiffy!

louie 2014-12-12 00:03

Fun game! I like that you can melee attack and shoot multiple guys in a row with the arrows, and that the arrows fire a bit slow. These things mix up the gameplay. Art and music is also great and go well with the game. I can definitely see adding more enemy types and weapon types, but given the time limit there is already a lot of game here.

nassi 2014-12-12 17:48

Tried twice, but couldn't get that sweet sweet revenge. Atleast I'll be together with my snowman in heaven or whatever that place is where snowmen and legionnaires go.

A simple idea but pretty well polished. Good job!

kudukuforgiveus 2014-12-12 23:23

Arrows sticking into walls and camera shaking were nice effects. Combat had good feedback. Crossbow and sword are smart combination of distinct weapons.

Game could have used a pause button (especially for a reviewer tabbing out to take notes!). Stats don't shake with HUD during camera shake. Enemies could have used a simple intro animation so they don't simply fade in. In my play-through I never got to use magic.

thunderawesome 2014-12-12 23:24

Difficulty scaled quite well. I cheated and hid close to a wall waiting for my victims to walk around and get whacked by my melee, haha. But overall it looked great and felt great. I'm not used to twin stick shooters, but it felt pretty smooth even a I was getting used to the controls.

banana4life 2014-12-13 00:03

Wow! Thank all of you guys for the amazing feedback. Special thank to KudukuForgiveUS for his detailed review. :) But there actually is an animation when the aliens "beam" in. (It is too distinct) The pause button is on our list for next time.

sorlok 2014-12-13 01:47

Really fun, really well made. I loved the spell animation in particular! Very challenging too. Great job!

redoxkun 2014-12-13 12:27

Quite fun game, well done!

tommyboys0107 2014-12-15 07:52

Pretty simple but complete game!
Good job!

2014-12-15 13:44

I love this game

chrismcmath 2014-12-17 09:31

Nice polish here with the sfx and particle effects.

endingchaos 2014-12-18 16:13

Fun good looking game!

jacob-peltola 2014-12-21 20:46

Awesome game, really cool idea executed perfectly

01rafael 2014-12-29 17:37

Great concept! Reming me Hammer Fight a little bit.

maxmetallica 2014-12-29 18:08

i love the fun

sanguine 2014-12-29 19:21

The music and art were nice! Good mood overall :)

lonelytimelord 2014-12-29 20:50
