Loved the random generation of levels!
Took me a few tries to figure out that I needed to click and hold the mouse and that I was the knights.
This could be really cool on mobile with more development. The core mechanics were solid. Nice game overall.
hey Paperscraps, I do plan on exactly what you said, using a slightly improved LD version as a demo, and an overhauled one for paid
Nice game, I like mechanics.
I think I like this. Top marks for innovation! I love the floaty controls (normally you won't hear me say that!) and the simple, yet surprisingly deep gameplay. The timer, which I hated at first, really added some pressure and forced me to constantly choose between going for a +Knight powerup or the next chest.
Gripes, though:
- Most of the time when you start, some or all of your knights will spawn on spikes, and this usually doesn't give you enough time to get them off before they're immediately spawnkilled.
- A goblin touches a knight. Does the knight die? Or does the goblin? Some predictability here would be a nice offset to the difficulty of the rest of the game.
- It's not obvious that you get more time from collecting chests. Had there been a little bit of text that said something like "+2 seconds" or whatever you get, I would have understood the game probably a full two minutes sooner. (which is a lot for a mobile game!)
I say, it's quite addictive and very innovative. I do, however, have trouble knowing what's going on sometimes. That's probably just me being stupid.
one hour left, quick update
Implemented suggestions
Interesting mechanic. Nice polish. It is a little difficult.
really fun game.
I like the art style of this little knights...
(the goblins' spawn is sometime frustrating, when you loose a knight instantly..)
i really liked this game, I was just crap at it haha, Great entry ^^
Fun stuff. I don't know if it was intentional for spikes to lag so they kill following goblins, but I like it.
Not bad)
Had a great time playing this one. Very good idea!
The generating could use some work, quite often i spawn and instantly die because of an insane about of enemies spawned around me. Good game especially for your first Ludum Dare.
Neat idea, very hard. Random level generation was cool, but also seemed fairly unfair. Still, the fast paced nature of things meant if I got a bad level I could just play again. =)
I respect the randomly generated maps.
Nice single touch mechanic, would work really well on touch devices :D
Definitely a cool mechanic that's worth exploring some more. I'd suggest focusing on balancing - some levels seemed impossible (or I lost immediately due to enemy spawns).
Great concept ! This looks a bit too hazardous but still, that's really funny. =]
Great mechanic to it. Simple and challenging with instant 'retry' is great. Makes you want to keep trying for a higher score.
Interesting little game. Random maps are nice but some of them are way too small and some are big enough to make the game easier. Sounds, music and graphics are good enough for programmer art.
Very fun game, I liked it=) Very hardcore and I love the traps)
Man, some of those randomly generated dungeons are unforgiving. And sometimes, I die...for no reason? Outside of bug fixes, the game mechanic is pretty darn solid.
nice works
Fun idea! Pretty difficult, but I love how we can get the enemies to throw themselves on the spikes! Nice music and sounds too!
