The graphics and gameplay are very good and the game is very fun.
An error has occurred. My character went flying round and gave fatal error in unity.

Okay, I loved the graphics of this game. It was so silly, watching macho's little blue helmet thing flap around. It felt satisfying to run into baddies. Really enjoyed it!

I didn't like macho games, when men fight for women's and woman's just watch...
It's weird.
But the idea is good, easy to play, easy to understand, good music and good game!

friken 2014-12-09 01:51

Beautiful game!

rabbit 2014-12-09 07:32

Very charming. The graphics are quite nice, and the gameplay itself feels very good. The music, which it's good, doesn't really seem to fit with the aesthetic, however.

alendro 2014-12-09 07:59

This is surprisingly addicting. Great job!

donan 2014-12-09 08:00

Nice mechanics and graphics. Good work :D

arovoid 2014-12-09 08:03

Great animation!

tanner101010 2014-12-09 08:05

I got the high score hee hee :D (33) Very macho. Nice game.

I laughed out loud when I first understood the objective =) Nothing like getting bad guys off your tower by ramming into them! really liked the sprite art and oooo, that pixel sky...

hundredhundred 2014-12-09 08:07

@PoQA Games, ahaha congrats! you are the first person to calm the macho highscore!

Also thanks for all your feedback :)

HelkeGames 2014-12-09 08:58

Really nice game! Graphics is gorgeous and also the story! Pretty fun to play

hundredhundred 2014-12-09 09:13

claim* ahaha

viclw17 2014-12-09 09:25

Love the art, music. The control is good. Fatal error here.

hundredhundred 2014-12-09 09:30

@VictorL sorry to hear that you got a fatal error, could you explain around when it occurred?

dsoft20 2014-12-09 10:18

Very nice entry!
Great graphics and gameplay, without much work it can be a good moblile game!
The music reminds me of FF9 :D

akhilnivarthi 2014-12-09 21:09

Wow!!! Nice game.
It was pretty fun to play. Music was pretty fun.

kaijuu 2014-12-10 04:00

Really fun game! Easy to play and easy to understand.
I think you could make cool physicks and some bonuses

rono 2014-12-10 04:15

Simple, addictive, and fun :)

zillix 2014-12-10 04:22

Very cute! The simple gameplay works out quite well.

opengl 2014-12-10 04:32

5 star to the audio! good graphic, simple game play! fatal error in unity:) But still a good game!

redsigmagroup 2014-12-10 04:36

Very solid work. Simple gameplay and good art/audio made for a good experience. Good job, Can't see much wrong with it at all.

phyyl 2014-12-10 05:08

Nice concept! I like everything about it, except that the controls are a bit too simple... But that's how you made it, it's not my game :) good job with the graphics and audio!

digibody 2014-12-10 05:44

BUG: Content was stopped because a fatal error was detected. I just did not touch anything and let the two swordsmen converge on the hero and princess.

lynx 2014-12-10 05:57

Interesting little game, very simple yet fun. The inertia thing feels kind of weird though, I got more flight out of the bad guys be running at them from a shorter distance

soulgame 2014-12-10 06:19

The game is pretty simple but feels right. The first 20 enemies are a bit boring because it's just click & wait after that point the game shows his potential! Very nice controls/concept/gameplay after all. The very basic feeling of protecting someone while becoming weaker and weaker is quite interesting.

sublustris 2014-12-10 06:54

nice game! lots of fun!!

mechamew 2014-12-10 08:02

Haha! Cool concept and mechanics. Looks great too!

hundredhundred 2014-12-10 08:19

@digibody thanks for the feedback on the fatal error, i seem to have a few people with the same causes. By any chance are you using a mac?

Overall thanks for all the wonderful feed backs! much appreciated

ALSO don't forget to put your highscores on the comment section :) I would like to see how your runs go!

troilk 2014-12-10 15:50

I was playing on mac - in Firefox knight always runs to the left and game soon crashes, in Safari the controls are ok but when enemies reach princes the game crashes.
Anyway, I liked graphics and the overall mood of the game :)

puppetmaster 2014-12-10 20:28

Lovely pixel art with a cool dead animation :-)
Well done!

eyeofbri 2014-12-10 20:49

The gameplay, mood, and graphics are very good. It crashed when I lost, but was great fun until then. (in safari)

hundredhundred 2014-12-11 00:08

@Troilk & @eyeofbri Sorry to hear the game crashed, I seem to have a problem with the game running for mac computers, I however seemed to have fixed the problem with the application version, so if the web build doesn't work for you please give the application a go :D

Overall thanks for all the wonderful feedback much appreciated

eerongal 2014-12-11 00:53

The graphics on this game were great!

tsabanski 2014-12-11 04:36

I got a high score of 50. :)

This was really easy to learn and fun to play! This is definitely one of those LD games that you could sell with more content added. Great pixel art, the music is thematic and not distracting. The color palette is very good, and you give great instructional documentation!

Great job! Thank you for sharing your game. :)

bcole99 2014-12-11 04:36

Stunning artwork! Simple, but very fun! Maybe some different enemy types or power ups may make the game a little deeper. Cool stuff!

abdurrahmankh 2014-12-11 07:27

I like it, simple and fun.

adventureislands 2014-12-11 17:41

Nice game, super simple to pick up and play.

krunoslav 2014-12-12 10:00

Very nice game! The artwork is really god, animations are nice too. Simpe mechanics but very fun.

zkenshin 2014-12-12 17:58

Nice, quick and simple. Good job!

mr-madcat-2 2014-12-13 13:10

Nice game. Very fitting music and artstyle.

phocker 2014-12-14 06:27

oh boy - that was fun - i loved it when the guys go flying - great job

resty 2014-12-14 08:47

This game is fun. Everything is good.

evanegibbs 2014-12-15 07:18

Super cool! All my criticisms are "I want more!" :D
The way the game controlled felt very good, I loved pushing people back. I would have liked a goal number to hit, maybe levels or powerups.

I love the way the instructions were written, that's awesome. Also the game looks wonderful. Awesome stuff!

spotco 2014-12-16 09:31

cute art, but there wasn't a whole lot to the game other than running left and right (unless I was missing something?)

knivel 2014-12-17 03:19

Cute graphics, great music! Not sure about the left/right mouse button controls. It's kind of a pain on my Mac's touchpad. Would just as soon use arrow keys.

Great job!

nickw 2014-12-17 05:14

Mechanically, this game suffers from being too simple. I was able to get to a high score of 260+, and the challenge was not increasing at all. My strategy was very simply just running back and forth, which was not particularly interesting. I also noticed some issues with the sound - when you knock a guy off the side the camera shake causes a slight Doppler effect in the music which sounds like an audio glitch. This was particularly pronounced when I had the game zoomed in while using it in web player mode. The sprites for the macho knight and the girl were super cute, and the music set a fun and quirky tone for the game which matched the gameplay and visuals. I'm interested in your screenshots because they show the fort from a wider angle than I saw in game - this makes me wonder if I was missing something. I feel like you probably could have pushed the mechanics a little harder and made this into a really fun game. Overall though, I had fun, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with for the next LD! Thanks for sharing your game with me!

benjamin-soule 2014-12-26 20:56

I could not move the knight with left and right buttons they were just changing knight direction. I could use arrow instead so I was able to play the game. The game was fun, but I was very frustrated by not being able to jump, especially when I land behind an ennemy and have to follow him or even push him in the princess arms... :-/ The music and arts are gold and they really go along.

2hitadam 2014-12-28 09:02

Really loved the cute little graphics! As others have said, it's a little too simple to be as fun as it could be. I also would have enjoyed it more if the camera were panned out, I wanna see these baddies fall to their deaths!

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-28 15:30

Cute graphics. Simple but fun game! I Included it in part 19 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/hTIxzyGfxwg
