The knight is really cool but the attack and move animations look a bit odd and unnatural. Really cool game otherwise. I initially thought this was some kind of PC master race game because of the title.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD33 → Smash the Peasants

Very fun game, and th animations are awesome. Great job ! :)
Nice game. Visually looks good and the feedback from fighting feels right. It takes a bit getting used to the fact that the knight only attacks in the direction that you are actually moving and not where the cursor is pointing though, but I'm guessing that's because it's made more for a controller.
Hitting with the knight feels rewarding! :)
Looks good and could have been fun, but... Peasants die from two hits while the knight dies from one? No, just no. What kind of dark knight is that.
I like the music and the artstyle, I'm not entirely sure how the attack works, sometimes I do a double swipe thing with my sword but I have no idea what causes it.
It's because the gameplay is like that: you have to perform a ''just attack'' which allows you to do the ''double swipe thing'' :)
How to do: when you do an attack first, a circle will appear. It's white then red.
When the circle is red, perform another attack and it will be more powerful with more range~ that's the just attack!
Very fun game..Good job
nice game :D
Nice one, not easy to get the gameplay at the first time, but it came right some tries after :).
Not really convinced by the music, but sound effects are great.
I liked the rhythm that comes from timing the Just Attacks, and the ability to reflect projectiles was also cool.
I wasn't really sure how to use the poison effectively, some times it seemed to clear the entire board and other times it didn't seem to do anything.
I think you wanted to keep the game difficult (one hit death), but allowing an attack in the direction of the mouse (or thumbstick) seems like it could improve the ability to dash around while keeping the difficulty. I found myself never using the dash because I had to face enemies to attack them.
Man that is hard - Love the multi hitting of peasants. The pesky peasants seems crazy overpowered as well.
I do however not feel a lot like the monster.
good game but the knight dies it one hit
I enjoyed the gameplay and audio, the difficulty got hard fast tho
I would like to try it out, but it seems the OS/X Link leads to a .exe file. Am i missing something here?
Great game! loved the animations and the sound!
it's hard to kill them all!
Great game. It took a while for me to figure out how to use the double click attack but since then I really like the mechanic.
I think the single biggest improvement would be more feedback for actions. I am still not quite sure how poison works, there should be throw animation, hit animation etc.. Same for knowing what killed you. The red circle for double click is some great visual feedback.
Finished my first game without realizing you could time a second attack to swipe. Now the game is much more fun !
The poison isn't easy to use though. Managed to use it onc otherwise i keep missing :(
Fun game, good job !
I enjoy playing this game but is weird that the Knight dies at the firs hit because he got an armor and he is demoniac.
I like the music a lot, the gameplay could be better because when I dash always die or maybe is just a little to hard. Anyway great game congrats!!!!
I played this game longer than I should, not sure why. Maybe because it feels like a shmup.
A few things:
-. Diagonal attacks pls.
-. Poison is supposed to be the emergency "everyone dies" attack, but a bit hard to pull off because its range is even smaller than a normal attack, and it's delayed.
Score: 40250.
I just edited the links for the Mac and Linux version. (sorry mybad)
Now you can play on these OS !
Thank you for the advise^^
there's a lot of fx sprite and the Diagonals attacks that is missing due to the lack of time (we did 48h, couln't do 72 with work).
It would greatly improve the attack feeling for sure yeah!
Some feature like an online highscore leaderboard was planned and a combo score with the just attack.
The poison range is tiny and hard to use to contrast with the powerful poison attack :)
Really good game ! I enjoyed the animation and the sound of the sword hits! keep playing
Cool art and amazing music! Got some bugs so I couldn't click on buttons and my attacks getting stuck. The game followed the theme well and I loved how you got the music and art so cartoonish! :)
Good job! ;)
Great game! Your cdr on your attack kinda goes with the rythm of the fight music. Posion might be splash to make it easier. Other than that awesome game!
I like it a lot. I would probably play every day if you put this on the Google Play store.
Give those peasants some smack! Splendorous graphics and smooth gameplay. However, I don't see how it fits the theme.
Really nice art and animation.
