I like the idea of using modern climbing gear in a medieval siege. The controls felt a little clunky, and it could have used some art assets for the things that they are dropping. For some reason I thought that it would look better if it were a wall instead of a tower, but that wouldn't give the circular movement.

It's a bit hard to dodge the falling objects, but I like the concept of climbing a tower in first person. Maybe you could be climbing a rope, and jump off the tower to dodge more easily?

hahah, funny music. I won with 14 health.

I think that this concept would play well with VR, where the player needs to keep looking up. If there was some more controls (maybe some crazy jump sideways), it would be great! Nice work

The controls were a bit non-responsive (at least on MacBook Pro + Chrome), so I didn't get very far. It's a rather difficult game, but on the other hand it's a pretty personal take on the theme. :)

Was actually more fun than it first looks. It turns out that graphics is not everything!

Fun game. Few issues with gameplay, maybe when you get hit once you die and have to restart (otherwise theres no real punishment for being hit). Would like to see this in vr

A fun game. Controls were fine for FF on Win10.

Difficult. I couldn't get very far! Try to reduce the number of balls dropping until the player reaches higher maybe?

I really like the camera angle used for this, a lot of room to be creative with it. Quite difficult, though. I think the balls fall a bit too fast, they can barely be dodged with some luck.

Lovely simple little fun game :)

Has anyone ever won? I wouldn't believe them if they anyway! It seems impossible :)

Good idea. Like the silly music! xD I also thought it was funny when a projectile is thrown too far away from the tower. Game could use some re-balancing though because once you get hit you can get in a loop where you get hit before you can wipe it off. The run button felt a bit redundant so I think it would have been better if that was the regular speed.

I like it, like the music too!

Wow really cool idea. Not too difficult but requires some brain work. I like how the game really focuses on the theme and has cool graphics. Overall really cool game:]

Loved the graphics, and it's super fun game. The only problems with it are that you don't move fast enough.. Normally by the time you really see the paintball coming at you you can't move fast enough to escape. Also, if you're super painted then you can't move. By the time I got to 6 health. I ended up just sitting there hopelessly pressing the keys because I couldn't move and a bunch of paint balls were coming my way. At that point, it becomes about luck. Which I assume wasn't the purpose of the game. Also, at the beginning of the game, they should start out slower and get increasingly faster (which they might've and I didn't notice.). Overall a great and fun game with just a few changes here and there.

I agree this game would be a great port to VR especially if you could move your head to dodge the objects

Unfortunately the controls weren't very responsive for me (Chrome + OS X) - was tapping left and right and it would only occasionally move, which made it very difficult to do anything. Still, looks like an interesting take on a familiar mechanic.

catchthefloaty 2016-08-30 21:19

intresting . player shouldve been able to move sideways faster though.

pyrofoux 2016-08-30 23:01

The sideway moving is far too slow, it's so hard to properly avoir the projectiles...
And didn't manage to sprint eather. It was a confusing game.

lonelyvertex 2016-08-31 18:55

Why did you make so difficult and addictive :D Anyway it's amazing and super fun. The controls could be little faster, but the slow controls might be the key factor that makes it so addictive. I just wonder if anyone could ever survive for more than a few seconds? Good job anyway.

Great game! Music and the pills are the best part. I finished with 17 health!
