love the graphics

Nice little retro style game. Has great graphics. FYI, when i tried the itch.io link i o got a 404.

cameronjsamuels 2017-12-04 03:24

Wonderful graphics! Nice game!

ham-and-swiss 2017-12-04 03:25

itch.io link didn't work

ham-and-swiss 2017-12-04 03:29

Game was pretty fun though! Enemies take a lot of hits to kill.

poorwill 2017-12-04 03:36

Nice little game. The enemy difficulty growth curve might my a little too steep though. I think the tenth enemy already took **a lot** of arrows.

Game appears to be missing from Itch.io. Nice little game, very challenging!

omnipotentindie 2017-12-04 04:38

@poorwill Thanks for the feedback. The enemy thing was not from their health, but from their damage. Their health never changes. I agree that the difficulty curve is a bit too steep though

omnipotentindie 2017-12-04 04:39

@ham-and-swiss Thanks for the feedback, try charging your attacks more (by holding the left click)

omnipotentindie 2017-12-04 04:41

@ham-and-swiss @formalcloud it seems to work for me, you might have played it while i was setting things up, i was a bit confused

omnipotentindie 2017-12-04 04:42

Itch.io link should now work if im not mistaken

ham-and-swiss 2017-12-04 04:43

@omnipotentindie nope still down for me https://omnipotentindie.itch.io/conquer

omnipotentindie 2017-12-04 04:52

@ham-and-swiss im an idiot, i forgot to publish the page, it should work now. Sorry for that

Great retro look. The sprites have quite a lot of personality given how few pixels they are. I did encounter a bug though. When I switched to the bow I got this after shooting a goblin.

loved these graphics, they were just so charming especially for such a low res art style. Very fun too! Good work.

matthew-roelle 2017-12-05 00:16

I loved the retro-rpg style. The gameplay felt really good, I felt myself searching for an exp bar or some sort of level system, but obviously this is ludum dare and we all only had 2 days :D Great job!

Also, it eventually crashed with this error:

Nice game, loved the graphics and the look. It was fun as well, but it crashed on me with a fatal error. :(

That aside, it's a good game! Nice work!

omnipotentindie 2017-12-05 00:51

It seems like a lot of people are crashing, i'll update the game is more people request it

matthew-di-mare-miller 2017-12-05 01:23

I enjoyed the game play. I felt that the color palette made things very difficult to see on the screen. Also the sound effects became slightly irritating

flankstaek 2017-12-05 01:23

Simple but fun game, wish the sword swing was a little bigger.

timon 2017-12-05 01:26

Very cute, and I loved the dash. Sadly keeps crashing within a minute or so, exact same error as Matthew Roelle posted.

gamesplusjames 2017-12-05 03:04

I like how the game looks and it was fun bashing those goblins :D Great job!

daul 2017-12-05 05:41

Cool graphics, like the simple sounds and effects. The gameplay was fun, but I'm experiencing the same crashing issues others are experiencing, it occurs when you try to shoot the bow when you have no more arrows. Other than that, great game!

omnipotentindie 2017-12-05 15:13

@daul @timon @machrom @matthew-roelle @badly-drawn-rod Crashing is now fixed (you'll have to re-install it if you want to try it again). Thanks to @daul for helping me track down the bug

jimbly 2017-12-05 15:56

Hmm, seems to crash if you try to shoot an arrow and you're out of arrows! I guess that really hurt.

Was fun until then. Was a little difficult telling what was going on some times. It was nice the trees faded when you were behind them, but the huts didn't, so I was sometimes behind a hut getting attacked without realizing it.

uvwar 2017-12-06 04:14

Fun game! Wish I was a little bit faster, and I think I got some goblins stuck on a tree and it was doing tons of small hits on them until they died (bottom left camp). Really liked the sound effects as well!

epicsoft 2017-12-06 09:45

I like the idea. This looks like my last LD submission. Everyone told me I had "strong ideas", but I had some bugs. You made a nice game in 48 hours and that's important. I liked the sound and graphics, too, but I think you should have added shadows.

phillserrazina 2017-12-06 12:49

It's fun and it looked nice!

colossal-gnome 2017-12-07 19:27

Looks fun! Wish there was a mac or html5 version so I could try it...

svr-audio 2017-12-08 14:48

Pretty ambitious game for a compo entry, really intriguing, I had some minor bugs, but I could test enough to say that you did a pretty good job, the art is really good as so is the concept and gameplay. Great job ! Very impressive !

linus 2017-12-17 19:15

Fun game and good idea, but I don't understand why you have to kill everyone, there was no real motive :p

I also didn't realize I had a bow, so that could have been more clear in the game. The gameplay was solid and you could come up with different strategies on how to best take out a group of enemies. First take out the enemies with bows and then take out the enemies one by one.

The graphics worked well and the walking animation was really fun to look at. The sounds were okay but some music would be good to give the game a bit more uniqueness. Good job!
