Amazing amount of work on the graphics in such a short amount of time. Classic arena with very well developed enemy classes. Top score.

Super cool. I like the audio - really put you in a mood. Great job!

Game really complex and extremely addictive. Great job, one of the best ones here, I believe.

Beautiful graphics. I love how things break apart when they are hit!
I kinda didn't feel the need to shapeshift though.
Oh and great audio too, very epic.

Really good game, and pretty amazing that you were able to make so many assets and yet still get things so nicely balanced and playable in such a short time.

Love the colour style used, very vivid. Also like how the bullets can deflect off into the air, that's a nice touch!

Great game. Love the art style and feel

jni 2016-04-18 15:30

Thanks for the positive feedback. My head is full of ideas for the concept and I will definitely develop a game like this one with more content soon.

Pretty awesome, how did you do the crumbling physics effect, that was my favorite part!

tysonex 2016-04-18 15:35

Great game man! I love the art style and the models. Music is pretty good although I didn't like the one for the golem, but thats mostly personal preference. I had some issues where the projectiles did not properly register the hit, but otherwise very fun game.

tutti-ankka 2016-04-18 15:44

Very nice game. Graphics are amazing!

jni 2016-04-18 15:47

@uvwar There are two models, one is normal and and one is split into smaller parts. When an object is destroyed, it will spawn the destroyed version with custom physics.

@TysonEX Thanks for reporting, sometimes the projectiles don't hit the enemys, but it looks like. This is caused by the spawning position of the bullets. They doesn't spawn at the center of the player, so they doesn't fly to the mouse position, they fly forward from that position.
But I will look into the source, if I missed something.

Very well executed! Throwing the rocks had a good feeling to it :)

maxamaden 2016-04-18 16:57

Very cool little game. Love the lighting and music, although the golem seems a bit overpowered and the dragon a little underpowered to me :P

Keep up the good work!

santiandrade 2016-04-18 17:03

Good graphics and music, but I don't understand the "shapeshift" idea in this case. Anyway I like it!

wizzardmaker 2016-04-18 17:17

Nice graphics, and a neat little gameplay, I thin the dragon is to underpowered, those other two are fine.

2016-04-18 17:53

Nice little game. I like the music and the light effects.Very amazing.

mikaza 2016-04-19 12:00

Nice work ! Like audio

reyn 2016-04-19 18:49

I'm with everyone else, I loved the break apart effect :) Thanks for the comment.

2016-04-19 22:50

The fall apart thing is awesome. I love these robotron style games. I found the transformations to be really satisfying.

mitkus 2016-04-21 13:38

Cool little game, I love the destruction effect of enemies and trees.

tharemo 2016-04-21 13:54

Nice visuals! The crumbling effect is pretty sweet. Music was pretty good too, good job overall!
I was able to fall off the level though, not sure if that was intended.

pixzleone 2016-04-21 14:31

Nice work!

team-tiger 2016-04-22 16:42

Great stuff! The game looks nice, especially the enemies falling apart. I like the level select in the menu as well. The difficulty definitely starts to show when the robots show up. The music switch between forms is also a nice touch!

I stopped playing because my hand had had enough clicking (though the dragon relieves some of that) and because the kill/hit sound really got to me. I also didn't use the Golem often because I found his attack unreliable against the smaller enemies, perhaps that's a good thing though.

iossif 2016-04-23 14:19

i liked the lightning a lot.

the only thing that felt a bit weird was the camera. when i moved around a lot it was too slow to follow me and my character ran off screen.

schw3de 2016-04-23 15:01

I like the big bosses, gj! :)

rock-eaters 2016-05-02 19:41

Good gameplay, light and song make the mood; Maybe the music could be lightly less repetitiv

davalcordub 2016-05-09 23:21

It looks really good but the controls doesn't work at all. I just move, The gun shoots occasionally and I can't change of shape
