Great idea guys!

falak 2018-12-03 23:22

@pawel-w Thanks for your opinion. Sorry for this question but your name sounds familiar to Polish name Paweł. Are You from Poland?

pawel-w 2018-12-03 23:36

@falak Yes, I'm from Poland :slight_smile:

Great game i love the concept of adding a king to your game it was a very fun game 5/5

sapphiris 2018-12-04 11:06

I wanted to play the game, but when I downloaded it, it gives an error about d3dx9_43.dll missing :cry:

falak 2018-12-04 15:57

@sapphiris Oh! I see. I don't know if it my fault or yours. But thanks for telling me it.

As i can see on the net your PC missing DirectX or something. https://www.lifewire.com/fix-d3dx9-43-dll-not-found-or-missing-errors-2623288

falak 2018-12-04 16:13

@anfaas1618 Oh! Thanks. I don't really know why king character was **that** good idea to you :sweat_smile: but if it was then I am happy too.

johnnyginard 2018-12-04 17:37

Very cool idea! Hadn’t thought about that! hehe :P :top:

falak 2018-12-04 17:39

@johnnyginard Thanks for feedback!

r0wan 2018-12-04 20:53

I tried to run it but it opened a file open dialogue every time instead?

falak 2018-12-04 21:16

@r0wan @sapphiris

OK! Thanks for telling me it! It was my fault and Im fixed it a moment ago. Sorry about problems.

kaeveris 2018-12-04 21:31

I really like the idea and the voices characters had in the dialogue! Art is very cute, poor cows!

fizzhog 2018-12-05 18:15

Really enjoyed this. Everything about it appealed to me. At first I thought I hated the sound but that grew on me too as I played. I'd really like to see this one expanded into a bigger game.

luqey 2018-12-05 18:21

The dialogue and text was very quirky it made me laugh lol

falak 2018-12-05 18:23

@kaeveris

Thanks! I think that :microphone2: voices characters are good because the are non any particular language. I'm happy that you like it. :smiley:

@fizzhog

Mayby some day. You can follow :handshake: me on my gamejolt. I'm thinking about it too.

falak 2018-12-05 18:26

@luqey I'm happy about it :smile:

fizzhog 2018-12-05 18:32

One thing. For if you are thinking of taking it further. I don't like the title. Loved the game but not the title.

matank 2018-12-05 18:38

Cool game and concept! I especially liked the sounds you made for the dialog!

It took me a while to figure out what "bring a bull" means (I kept killing bulls and wondered why it didn't work), but eventually managed to figure it out and complete the game. Had a lot of fun!

One thing that bothered me a bit though - in the last part where you have to kill 100 knights, this part is not very challenging. That's fine, and it was fun to feel all-powerful and kill tons of knights easily, but it got old after the first 20-30 knights I killed, and then it took me a long time to kill 70 more. I think it would be nice to make the number of knights you need to kill in this section smaller (or at least make the knights crowd in more specific regions so you could kill many of them at once).

Anyway, really nice game!

falak 2018-12-06 07:03

@fizzhog

any suggestions about the title?

@matank

Thanks for feedback. What you say is really important to me. :smiley:

vlad-ilisan 2018-12-06 20:22

Congratulations student for completing this awsome game;)

One thing I didn't like....the attack button. It would be a lot better in my opininon if it was the usual left mouse button. Good job nonetheless!

falak 2018-12-06 20:24

@vlad-ilisan

Thanks for feedback! I didn't think about it but it is really good idea :mouse_three_button: ! Thanks!

vlad-ilisan 2018-12-06 20:32

Small changes like bug fixes and small tweaks are allowed even after the jam ends. So I would love to play it again if you decide to change it.

aumbra 2018-12-07 08:29

Hub bub buh, huh buh buh buh buh. What a masterpiece. I really like how complete the game is, very impressive!

awix 2018-12-07 08:34

An interesting game with a kind of mechanics. I put a rating) Please rating and me, thanks in advance)

fizzhog 2018-12-07 11:48

Maybe something like junior, beginner, intern, trainee, apprentice, journeyman, etc. in the title? E.g. 'Cult Intern', 'Apprenticed to the Cult', 'Sacrifice for Beginners'. I don't know, it may just be me; other people may like the current title.

alysson-moraes 2018-12-07 19:47

very funny!!

firebug 2018-12-07 20:05

I love the way the dialogue works, unintelligible babble that still conveys personality, especially as the cult leaders rambling "undoes" the King's words. Unfortunately I got stuck in the game because I couldn't figure out how to bring the bull. After slaying a few cows for leather, I made a bull follow me back to the cult base, but nothing happened. What do I do next?

falak 2018-12-07 20:21

@firebug

Thanks for feedback. I see this isn't really obvious. If the bull see you in vertical or horizontal line it will be rushing into your's direction. Make him follow you into the cultist's base and then go to the Master. I'm really sorry for this.

falak 2018-12-07 20:22

@alysson-moraes Thanks!

firebug 2018-12-07 21:32

@falak Ah, thanks! It took a while for me to get the Master to trigger properly. Poor knights being used as fodder against the cultist. A fun game and interesting idea!

lyrcaxis 2018-12-07 22:32

Nice game. It's a pain making the bull follow you, but other than that game's pretty enjoyable.

thomas-olsson 2018-12-08 08:21

I could not beat it, but it was cool. Very very trippy.

maximiliangeorg 2018-12-09 16:13

You managed to implement a lot of mechanics that's super cool! I liked it, the quests had a nice variation and it's a finished game. The sound was hilarious :D

rhewid 2018-12-09 23:26

Man had to laug at the start, starting a game with jibberish talking. Cool gameplay but the knight was a little bit too op imo.

stames 2018-12-10 07:59

I loved the voices xD I think some other soundeffects would have been nice too. I think a "muuh" when you kill a cow would have been hilariouse if you would have just spoken it like the voices and also other Soundefects like this. The Intro was realy nice and the whole story was soo strange and funny. I think it would have been nice to let the text stay there a bit and not immediately scroll it back. Sometimes it was a bit hard to read it that quick. but this scroll back effect was nice it seamt like the people spoke backwards or something xD I tink it is almost imposible to get a bull through the top and bottom entrense. I think the doors should have been a bit bigger. Nice Work verry Funny :-D

legulysse 2018-12-10 12:37

I laughed out loud in my work space when I heard the characters talking, that's great voice acting ! Very fun concept, fighting is really hard and a bit messy, though. maybe having a greater range could have helped. I hope you had as much fun making this as I had testing it o/

morriss 2018-12-11 05:21

The enemy is too strong for me,In addition to the cow.

slimothyj 2018-12-11 16:35

Interesting art style and brilliant sound effects on the characters. However, the game could use some music and some of the aggressive cows seem to hit really hard

2018-12-11 18:14

Interesting story. I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/3-5x0DQqrYk

syrok 2018-12-11 19:35

This is a very good project for one person, I liked how it looks and sounds) Especially the sound of the hababaa) Thanks for the cool project that made me laugh) Very worthy)

@rytannic

@syrok

Thanks for feedback. It means a lot of to me. I understand it is hard. I will nerf knight next time.

@stames

Thanks for feedback. Very nice idea! If I continue, it will implement it.

@legulysse

Thanks for feedback. Oh! I didn't realize it when I was testing it. Thanks!

@jupiter-hadley

Thanks. I saw it. I'm Ur subscriber and I love what you do on your chanell. Although I'm disapointed you gave up on my game that fast. But I will take your opinnion into consideration and balance it more next time.

arvejeitor 2018-12-12 19:31

Nice game, maybe it could use some walk animations, but overall I liked it!

zicboy 2018-12-13 11:25

Really enjoyed the overall mood and graphics was a stand out. Very Impressed that you managed to make this game within the time limit.

Hope you develop a post jam version of this game.

bificommander 2018-12-22 11:40

There's quite a bit of content here, having multiple stages to the level is very nice. The audio... wasn't too good. I presume it was deliberately ridiculous, but it was used too much for it to remain funny.

falak 2018-12-22 13:15

@arvejeitor

Good point! Thanks.

@zicboy

Maybe I'll do it but surprisingly I have less time then during game jam.

@bificommander

It's good to hear a different opinion. Everyone stated that the audio :notes: was good well I'm happy :smile: to see that someone have other feelings about it.
