Really hard to avoid obstacles & projectiles but it's a good beginning for a future game !

I wish there were some way to use that club.

johnhattan 2015-08-26 19:52

Yeah, it's a good start, but it didn't feel like a complete game. If you had to dodge and club the rocks, it would've been better.

Also it needed some story. Why are you being chased? Are you just too monstrous? What happens after the you're subdued by the villagers?

Yeah, I know these are probably not the questions to ask yet. I'd just like to see this made into a more complete game.

I like it, it's simple but the graphics are nice and the music is good. I had 6990 points!

First time i think rocks wasn't just for show xD. Simple idea but it's hard avoid spears and rock. I think it's spawn too many times

It would be nice to be able to jump out of a roll. Nice work anyway.

Hey! Thanks for making a game.

What we liked -
Nice clear concept, sticks nicely to the theme of the jam, the music was fun and fitted with the rest of the game, simple and fun art.

What could be improved -
Seemed like whenever you needed to jump over a rock they threw a spear and you always needed to roll when they chucked a fireball, made it very difficult given the controls.

Awesome, very clever idea, I like it.

Overall I liked this game, it wasn't very innovative as it is an endless runner, it might have been fun but there are some issues, the spears are way to hard to dodge, the rolls last way too long and you can't jump from them and it often screws you over as a result, the art style was nice but the cartoony characters and pitchforks and torches didn't go well with everything else being serious (especially the background), just looked a little odd to me, the audio was nice but the mood was bad due to a lack of ambience. Decent entry but could really do with a lot of touch ups here and there, well done all the same.

I'm not sure what those rocks are doing there, but at first I thought you had to jump over them (which caused me to get hit by a few pitchforks I thought were unavoidable). Could use a bit more depth (most LD games could though) but definitely a good start!

A bit too difficult because the enemy hits and the obstacles are too random; it could become a nice endless runner if you ensured all obstacles can be avoided!

Nice graphics and its a good themed idea but gameplay sometimes is really hard, low time to react to the enemy attacks.

twiebs 2015-08-28 20:23

It was frustrating not being able to break out of rolls. It made it to hard to dodge the projectiles and rocks.

martinfernandez 2015-08-28 20:44

good game.

hotboxgames 2015-08-28 20:45

Nice entry! I scored 9680 :) I spent most of the time looking at what was being thrown and not paying attention to the coins as there was very little time to do much except dodge. I ended up dying when jumping over a fireball and ended up having a pit directly where I landed :( I'd recommend trying to account for things like that, but overall good entry! :D

goodzilla 2015-08-28 21:27

Basically impossible for me to avoid spears and the rocks in the same time
still nice, made it to 4700 points...

darkboulevard 2015-08-29 14:09

Nice entry! Movement feels awkward and It's kind of hard to avoid the obstacles and the projectiles! Anyways, good job! Keep it up!

skyfish 2015-08-29 15:17

The game gives you impossible things to handle. You can't dodge a projectile if it is over it is over a rock at the same time as you are.

It is a nice little game. It gets really annoying though when a stone comes from the right and the villagers through a pitch fork.

galanm 2015-08-29 15:56

Nice minimalist endless runner. Make the controls more responsive and time villager attacks better, and it would be quite enjoyable.

dpisarcik 2015-08-29 15:56

Shows promise for a fun, easy mobile game.

stuck at loading screen :?

Cool little runner game. It's a bit hard at the beginning, to get the correct timing, but once understood, it's well playable.

alobker 2015-09-02 09:29

The scoring system makes it a nice competitive game.

almax27 2015-09-04 12:29

Spent a while jumping over rocks and into pitch forks until I noticed the tip in the comment. They really do look like obstacles :P Otherwise nice solid entry, great work!

demy 2015-09-06 12:53

Simple but nice game.

shawn42 2015-09-07 18:45

Fun little game. I found myself just focusing on avoidance and not collecting coins. Maybe every 30 coins could give you an extra life (Mario style). On my first run, I still hadn't realized that the rocks were for show. Somehow make those look less like a real obstacle. I also think a little left/right movement would help too. Nice entry, fun take on the theme.

crucknuk 2015-09-08 15:04

Nice runner!You should just check if there is a rock in the way before throwing forks. Anyway, good job ;)

bombjack 2015-09-10 10:48

classic gameplay. completely in the theme.

superfreak 2015-09-14 09:54

Enjoyed the graphics! Felt like it could have used a little bit of balance at times but overall a fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable entry!
