King of the Mountain

Very interesting! I won, so it must be a good game. Things are a little glitchy from here in Australia and I wasn't entirely sure what was happening with the traps, but this is an impressive achievement for 48 hours. Also from now on please address me as King Voxel

This was pretty fun (but chaotic) joining a Twitch feed of it!

With many people it was a bit hard to grasp the actually pretty simple mechanics, but once you did it was fun trying to "outsmart" the others. Kinda feels like a LD-scaled DiveKick for boardgames game.

Probably the mechanics are meant to be very simple, but it would be cool to maybe have some more tactical options or something.

Indeed, the more players the more chaotic it gets. I really enjoyed this game and laughed really hard, especially when i beat Danae. Cool game and entertaining gameplay!

Interesting idea, I couldn't get it to work correctly though! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVo2wMAhnxM

Nice compo entry!

How did you make those graphics in such little time?

And what do the different models have to do with? I spawned as a giant thingie instead of the normal soldier sometimes before I got to be king of the hill.

Also, maybe a keyboard shortcut to move and a way to walk backwards would've been nice.

Also, you've given 0 ratings, that may be why so little people played your game. The more ratings you give the more your game will be visible and more people will play it! On the next ludum try rating at least 20 games so that your game can get to 20 ratings itself faster. =)

Cool game and nice work. Good luck with the voting. My game needs more votes too [check it out](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/demon-hunt)

thanks for comments, folks! @umsingelopugmanco: I used GIMP for graphics:) the avatars were real tin figures that I photographed into life.

Can't resist a calll for help. Here is avote for you. The trick to getting enough votes is to vote on other games and leave a comment. This way, people will see your comment and many will then check out your game and rate it as well. It may be bit late for this LD to get enough votes, but definetly try it next time. I recommend rating like 20 games or so in the first week of voting. That should get you enough votes rather wuickly.

Concerning your game, I think there was some kind of bug for me becasue at first everything kept changing all the time without me interacting with anything. After a time it stopped and then I could play. The idea is certainly interesting, but needs some clearer explanation. Also there were some resolution issues for me.

Anyways, I hope you will particpitae again next LD. Cheers!

Not as fun as expected, even with other players : it's mainly a spy and sneak game, where you pretend to be afk and rush the king while you think everybody else is also afk. :P Nice idea anyways, I think it just need something more, but… I can't find exactly what (by now, at least). If I found it out, I will let another comment here. ;)

Fun game you got here. Saw your post and I've got the same issue of needing more votes. Check it out here if you have the time. Thanks.
