Interesting mechanic! Took a little while to realize what was going on, but after we got the hang of it there was an incredible amount of timing and strategy involved. The Hero moved a little slowly, and it might be nice to have an extra button for the Warlock to spawn an additional ball, at least as the Hero gets closer. Overall well done, fun entry!
Liked the premise. Unique mechanic with the warlock.
Overall I think this concept is great however it seems the warlock is a bit unbalanced, pherhaps add more speed or jump power to hero, or maybe powerups. Great job doe!
The premise for this game was really unique! I didn't really have someone to play against, so I played with myself. .... wait, that didn't sound right!
The fun part was that I randomly mashed buttons with my left hand and couldn't figure out why it was hard to get around things as the hero.
All in all, pretty fun.
One thing -- It wanted me to go through an entire installation process (includiing DX9), which I should already have... and for some reason the installation process took like 10 minutes, which seemed a little hefty considering the game play is much, much shorter.
Hey guys, thank you all very much for the feedback :)
@Flaid, I'm not sure why it installed DX9 again for you, but I think it's a GameMaker issue. I compiled the game from a newer version version of GameMaker now, so hopefully that helps. Cheers for telling me.
Mechanics feels really unique. I love to play it.
Good job!
I'll check the vampig download. Sometimes the transition after hit "p" key is very slow. So if you have some time you could try again.
Ok guys I've uploaded a "standalone executable" now, so no need to install the game any more. ^^
Bit awkward testing this on my own but I love this interesting take on the gameplay of Donkey Kong. Took me a while to figure out how to use the Warlock's orbs properly but once you master them, you can make some really interesting strategies.
It took me a wile to get what I have to to do win. Interesting color scheme and a fun game.
I liked the mood and mechanic with the warlock very much. Great innovation points with the unique premise!
It's a simple but a fun game. Nice work!
Fun little game if you have someone to play with. It took a little while to figure out the warlock abilities, but then it was a lot of fun. Surprisingly balanced.
love the music, took me a bit to figure out i could double jump. I should have read the instructions :D Nice work
2 players game is a good idea ! and it works well, good job
Fun two player game! A bit more onboarding would have helped the experience a lot
Seemed to be incomplete, though I may've just missed something. Story was really good, though the gameplay was confusing. Thought I was supposed to touch the tome as the hero, and I couldn't tell what the controls for the Warlock did.
Interesting game, though I felt like the wizard player has no real chance of winning... I included it in part 25 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/OjNOJwfYtGQ
