Good game for a 48 hours compo. It is an interesting mechanic to control all chars at the same time in real time, which makes the game ultra hard.

Good game for a 48 hours compo. It is an interesting mechanic to control all chars at the same time in real time, which makes the game ultra hard.
Haha, I absolutely love this. Probably gonna play it some more tonight, see how far I can get. Didn't realize at first, that the mage's fire spell also damaged my own, and ended up killing them myself. Really entertaining, lot's of creative units. I especially love how you've given the cold one a weakness (;
Good job on this, and good luck!
Using the spells of different types of gladiators and building the best team is great!
I've even saved this in by browser to play some more in future)
Nice game, congratulations. I think I managed to win the game despite I havent seen a win message. The classes are amazing and their skills, the enemies skills too, make a pretty good point in the strategy of the game. If you could managed to include some epic battle 8-bit music, it will be perfect.
Good job!
Gladiators 4 the win!
Thanks to all for the comments.
By the way I just beat the game with fisher, archer, fighter and tank (yeah, latin names are just too hard haha)
Great job for a compo, but maybe a Pause system ?
Super difficult! I love the attacks.
It feels like a mini MOBA/RTS where you need to micromanage to survive a wave. I like it a lot.
Player movement speed is a bit low but I guess it leans more towards tactics than twitch combat. With a pause and queue system this would have some FTL vibes.
i love it!
hard to control all characters but it's really funny
haha, the mage can kill you. Thats fantastic :D
Some really great ideas here. I found the combat a little bit slow and audio would have added a lot but overall a great game.
Also the numbering was a little confusing. It would have been easier if it was 1-4 top to bottom.
Lot of stuff implemented for a 48h combo! Very ambitious project which needs more work and is a bit too complex. Hope you keep developing this, is a great personal project. Graphics are nice, melting snowmans is funny and fits the theme well :P
Really enjoyed this entry. Quite hard to control everyone at once.
I really like this kind of games and i loved it when the snowman showed up it :P

the only problem for this game is it was over ambitious. the game play was really good, and I loved it because its not turn-based. the no sound-no pause or no polishing almost killed the game, but it is still fun to play. I think this game could be much more.overall: great job.
Great work on the variety of gladiators and enemies.
Hi there,
nice game, esp. for 48 hours. gameplay is nice, but gets a little bit hectic, when you try to do things with more than one gladiator at one time.
I like the variety of different enemies and how they react different on attacks (snowmen melt, yes! :D)
I find it hard to control everyone, I basically just used my 4 guys as extra lives and used one at a time. Fun game.
Beautiful and fun game.I want more. MOAAAAAAAAAR!!!
nice, clever use of unit categories and tactics, but it's simple enough not to cripple the fun. You should consider adding sound and a Pause button. well done
Good mechanics!
I like this game a lot :) really good game.
Really interesting mechanics to play as all of them together.
I enjoyed it really though! :D
Good class differentiation of skills!
Something about your mechanic of controlling everyone RTS style in the most clunky fashion made this very interesting, ironically. I didn't want to like it but found myself playing for quite a while. Definitely super unique.
great mood
Snowmans are attacking! :) Nice game. Very well done.
Neat game and cute graphics, well done!
Hey fellow dev!
Pretty fun game, glad the hotkeys were there because the controls were a bit tricky to get used to at first.
At first it was easy but then difficulty ramped up pretty quick. Good game!
