Very amusing use of the theme.

My pc is detecting malware on your site/site you're hosting with.

Interesting concept.
Perhaps more quotations would be a good idea.
... And a loosing-sequence.

Amusing game, although rather difficult. The dialogues were fun and clever. nice work!

As a philosophy graduate, I really enjoyed this game! I think that it would certainly benefit from some sounds, but having said that what you've got here is great! :D

I have master degree in history of science and I really loved your idea. I was able to defeat all philosophers! The pixelart of them is very good, I loved too. Needs sound/music, one background image (in pixelart) for each one of philosophers should be great! Keep the project on!!!! Congrats!

Someone is clearly a fan of Hobbes. Great game! An extremely clever use of the theme.

love your approach to the theme man

joshyoshkenoshi 2015-04-21 16:24

Just to add: as a friend of mine pointed out, it would be nice to see some female philosophers featured. ;)

You stink! Go get an haircut you hippy!

Good take on the theme, needed a little more direction on what my moves could do. Hobbes destroyed by Ubermensch.

@JoshyOshKenoshi: Definitely. We were just using the philosphers we were most familiar with. We plan to add more in a newer version.

@Jungle: Coll, thansk very much!

@Chesyr: Start with Kant or Hobbes if it is to difficult. We are still working on the balancing.

Very clever theme implementation, I think I learned some new things about famous philosophers

Nice concept and a very interesting way to use the theme.

Funny idea and great sprites. ++for playing Schopenhauer even if I would have chosen different quotes ;)
I can't believe Nietzsche has as much sanity as me. This is not what I read about him ! He was the toughest but I defeated them all !

I like the concept, but for me it was very hard to understand what my attacks/abilites could/will do to the opponent. Also the fact that philosophers reuse each other's utterances breaks the fun a little. Nevertheless this is definitely an unconventional weapon!

Very funny. Nice interpretation of the theme. Good to see another LibGDX entry.

Quite amusing gameplay, and educational too, sorta!

safran 2015-04-24 10:37

Very interesting concept of using philosophy as a weapon.

somnium 2015-04-26 06:40

Very original use of the theme, and a very entertaining and interesting concept! :-) Some of the philosophers need a bit of balancing.

mase 2015-04-26 20:25

Very amusing scenario.
I wish the minor arguments were more appropriate; it's a little bit immersion-breaking to see Kierkegaard saying "That's what she said!"

monkeedude1212 2015-05-07 20:33

Good use of the theme.

At first I thought that I would really have to select the best answers, but then i realized it is final fantasy-like epic battle game!
The characters could have logs describing them, their strengths, weaknesses and attacks, but it is also fun to discover them on your own.
I found very funny in a battle that ended in a tie! Haha!
Good job! :)
