Really nice artstyle! Love the colors and the detail on the characters. The game gets better once you figure out how to teleport and use special abilities, though I wish there was a tutorial on how to use them.

Good game, a progressive tutorial would habe been useful to learn how to control the character capabilities.
Thank you so much for the feedback people. A tutorial would have been great, I agree, however, I simply did not have the time for it since I pretty much wasted my first day on a failed idea. Best I could do is list the controls under the info section on the main menu ^^'
First of all, I love the pixel art here, the details and colours are gorgeous! You've added a lot of abilities for Drack, which make for a fun game too, but it's a bit of a shame that the enemy types just negate those abilities, instead of adding more types of play. With some more developed levels and enemies, this could be a real cool game.
Just one other suggestion, you might want to try and stop multiple hit sounds ect. playing over the top of each other, as you get further in it can be a bit cacophonous!
The art was AMAZING! The gameplay reminded me of CoD Zombies :D really good
It's not a bad game, but it's not very innovative.
Nice Art!
Powers are usefull and controls are fluid.
This is amazing! The gameplay is quite fun and the art style is extremely good. However, I do have some constructive criticism. Some sort of quick tutorial message or level would help players learn the attacks, but I understand you were short on time. Also the direction the player is facing was not always consistent on the direction it is moving. Overall, a great game!
@Sir Spiderlot Thank you! Next entry I make will definitely spend more time teaching the player things. As far as the direction, the player faces the mouse, not where he's moving to. It's a simple mistake to make, though ^^' Thanks for the feedback~
Looks great, but no way to play on Mac :/
Graphics are very nice and the gameplay are very fun too. Also good take on the theme, good job.
Love the graphics, the dynamic camera and the smooth gameplay generally. I had to play a couple times before realizing that there were a couple skills to use, but always returned to the one that's the default. Also a little bit more feedback on the abilities (screen shake etc) would've made them feel more powerful.
Generally an impressive effort though, good job!
I like the flow of this game and the skills you can use to fight off different enemies. The audio is lacking though. Once the mechanics have been figured out then it starts to get interesting. It would be nice if there was some way for the player to get an explanation on what some of the special abilities do.
The art in this is really nice, liked the colours used and impressed with the detail. The variety of weapons was also a nice touch but I did find myself standing in one position mainly to kill them as they came at me but definitely understandable with the time limit. Fun game :)
Nice pixel art !
Magic was a bit harmful to me so i was a bit scared of using it, and it was quite a fun situation to be a monster hidden in a corner with his fearful demonic red eyes haha...
Good job, is there a win condition ? I managed to stay alive 7 weeks ; the executable closing at game over is quite radical :)
Good work, especially with the mansion's design !
Maybe a classic game, but it is fun, graphics are beautiful and it is a very solid entry. Nice work!
fantastic art and very fluid gameplay. Simply a fantastic participation. Congratulations.
Very nice looking game. It was short and fun, with some slight glitches 'ere and there (enemies getting stuck in walls and I could warp out of bounds.) Other than that, it was really well made and I love the graphics. Great stuff!
Pretty nice! It's fun to play, even if sometimes I tried to warp and it did not seem to work :/
The graphics are neat, but the ghosts doesn't look too ghostly to me :P
Nice game!
Pretty basic gameplay, but still surprisingly fun! Art is pretty neat too! So, maybe not top, but overall of this one will be probably pretty high!
Very cool game! I liked the art style
I really enjoy this game, so simple but nice art and good controlls
Lovely pixel art. Gameplay was smooth and the controls solid. Sound effects were maybe a bit too.. how to put it.. piercing? Made my ears hurt after a while.
The scenary is wonderful and the game play is fun! but i did not notice the skills when i first played , and when i saw it, i had to guess how to use each one. Maybe some feedback increases would be a good one! =D But i really enjoy it - Congrats!
it's a realyy nice game. I just miss music
The pixel art is really good! Good job!
Great execution for a compo, congrats. I agree the gameplay is a bit classic, but nice job overall
The game was beautiful like everyone else said, I checked to see if anyone else had issues with the mouse being too sensitive but didn't see anyone commenting, so probably just me. Playing on a mac with parallels though, so probably my bad.
@Grahhhhh Hmm... I am not sure what might be causing that, really. The game doesn't alter the mouse movement and sensitivity in any way as far as I am aware so it might just be an issue on your end :/
it does feel like you turned the table on the old games like sabre wolf. would have love to have found more terror in the victims. but a nice laire and setup!
Awesome graphics! Mechanics are very good too! Although there could be more enemies type (but I suppose there would be no time for this), and warp didn't seem very useful, at least I forgot to use it and it played well.
It's a bit weird the weeks counting, since it feels like just one night passing xp
Anyway great job!
Very nice pixel work. The sound effects got kind of annoying after a while. The mixture of guys who shoot magic back at you and guys resistance to melee was a very good mixture of mechanics. Good work!
Man this was fun!
I think it becomes a tad unforgiving after the first stage, and the fact that the game closes after you die (instead of going back to the title screen) is a bit annoying.
Having said that, the game is incredibly fun. The art is gorgeous and the combat is smooth.
An incredible work, especially for a Compo entry. Kudos!
Good game, hard to master but awesome once you do.
Great job with the graphics and mood.
