The game idea sounds neat, but unfortunately the game crashes when I try to run it on Linux (see https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e03c0da0681dd60b7d67 for log) :(

Yo, i loved it. the only problem was the slowdown I would get. also wall jumps felt strange.(I think it might be a good idea to keep the player stuck to wall for .5 seconds after releasing the key)

Nice game. Good work on the wall-jump.

(at some points I did experience a drop in framerate.)

Hi! Yes, I know there are drops in framerate, this is because of poorly written custom engine, and there were not a lot of time to fix it during this Ludum Dare.

- Worked ok at first but the couple times I played I got to a point where I couldn't jump high enough to reach the next ledge.
- Ah ok, after reading comments I discovered there is a wall jump.
- wall jump feels good, i like how it sticks there
- Framerate started getting really choppy after a while.
- Soild effort overall!

I also got some framedrops, but I still really enjoyed eating dwarves & evolving! Great job! =)

I played twice and got 39 dwarves in 1:05 both times, so it must be fate!

Overall I liked the art style and the mechanics seemed pretty solid. It definitely felt like I was a monster as the dwarfs screamed and exploded into a bloody fountain!

However, as others have mentioned there were some frame rate issues. It wasn't so bad when it was consistently slow, but then something would happen and the game would go into hyperspeed.

Really cool graphics and some neat mechanics, well done sir!

I couldn't find the jar file in the folder?

Fun art style and gameplay, great work!

dramentiaras 2015-08-28 19:34

@Croze, it isn't a folder, the download should be a jar file. If it isn't just rename it's extension to .jar.

Can't seem to get it to run on my machine :/

tackorama 2015-08-29 19:05

Doesn't run on Mac OS X.

Good. I liked the graphics and evolving mechanic (even though i didn't get to evolve very many times :)!).

Good looking game! The main menu was way to fast, but I had a lot of fun killing small dwarves

Love the concept, though its hard to wall jump up, and several times I couldnt reach a platform... I included it in part 24 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/fxtKngYPsCg
