had an enemy clip through my shield and I couldn't jump after that. Without looking at source (way too tired to do that right now) I'm guessing you've put your jumping code in FixedUpdate instead of Update. You might want to fix that.

Couldn't make it past the second part, the shields didn't seem to repel the enemies as much as I've expected.

It was fun. But the player is a bit hard to control.

Good game. If jumping was not so difficult. Very novel idea only seen in Ikagura.

Sorry about the glitches, I was a bit rushed for time at the end and didn't have time to fix them :/

Don't know why but this design is just up my alley.
Keep it up!

jthistle 2015-04-20 06:43

Hmm, if there's a glitch please can you report which build you where using (e.g. windows, web player), thanks!

Yeah, there's promise here, but the controls are really buggy! There's times you can't even jump at all!

And then the sequence to try to repel the monsters gets really tricky once you start having to interlock a d w q e r! (And probably more later!)

also found the controls and physics a bit difficult to work with, but I like the changing fields for different enemies. Is the best strategy to deflect them out of the screen?

Just echoing the other comments, a good idea but the jumping is a bit too laggy for precise movements.

Funny little game, controls are kinda sluggish.. and the shield doesn't always protect as it should and clips right through. Jump does't always trigger.. maybe you cant jump while shield is on.. but even then some weird occasions I couldnt jump at all.. anyway.. good job and will see you with the next LD! :)

Jumping was difficult, it'd be easier if you could jump whilst moving

Very challenging, very fun! Epic walking animation too. Jumping was a bit weird, though. Couldn't always get it to work.

jthistle 2015-04-20 15:30

Sorry, I'll fix the jumping tonight. I guess maybe a bugfix is allowed? :D I'll do it anyway. Thanks for the feedback guys, really apprieciate it!

syncxzoz 2015-04-20 15:42

so fun, but so hard to control... and that shield is good actually. a little confuse at first.. shield blockade the jump ? .. but sometimes i can jump with the shield.lol

ershany 2015-04-20 18:11

Such an awesome idea :P and the bugs made it more enjoyable XD Graphics were ehhhh :P

ssiegel2 2015-04-20 20:26

Interesting idea. I could see this being used for a lot of puzzle mechanics.

dustoutgames 2015-04-20 20:33

Nice concept, but the controls felt a little confusing, and the jumping was a little nuts. Would have been nice to have a bit more variety in sounds. Nice use of theme though.

thumbgarden 2015-04-20 23:22

fun but think about making the keys easier to use. Say I wanted to jump move to the right and hit the shield all at the same time it would be uncomfortable with the controls you picked.

jthistle 2015-04-21 06:19

Please read the full insertctions: you CAN use the arrow keys!

It's still very buggy for me - collision and gravity are really crazy or awkward sometimes. Interesting game which can be improved. Thank you ++

designernap 2015-04-22 22:02

there is a fun "Double super jump" if you hit up and right together :)
