Oh man, You really got me with that title screen, I'm a huge fan of old Warcrafts :). Game is pretty hilarious, I survived 40 days.

Amazing job in every aspect. My favoruite thing was cooking :)

What a game! Everything was good - gameplay, graphics, concept, theme.
The concept kinda reminds me old game called "Handkerchief" where you also picked up soldiers who then followed you. Great job!
Game is good, but sometimes it just freezes (demon is not moving) and there is no way to restart level.
I had over 100 score. Simple gameplay, but pretty good.
Charles Bronson was a real badass. Good game - without any bullshit, just killing the bad guys. Repetitive, but it's ok for short games.
165 here, I like difficult games. Simple, addictive gameplay and unique style makes this game really good.

Is this the end? I do not get more coins.
I like clickers and love IT/tech themed games, I had much fun.
It's good. The most important thing you should improve is movement. There were also few minor bugs, but other than that, there is a potential.
4-12-2018 14-27-48.png
There are few bugs and movement is sometimes tricky, but the sceneries, especially the park, are superb. Also game actually has a story which isn't too common in LD :sweat_smile:, so it's kinda unique. Also why there isn't rating for graphics? it could be really high.
@nander Yes, some things are different and I know that's kinda annoying, I literally run out of time on any improvements.
@thegamedev I'm sorry with that, I wanted to implement auto scroll but it just didn't want to work. I strongly recommend using 'cls' very often to make screen clear.
@artbohr , @matthew-roelle I'm glad you liked it.
Thank you all for opinions.
@mrspeaker, @deathbysnail ah, I forgot about Linux :penguin: :sweat_smile:
@yirggzmb >Also, minor annoyance, but I find I sometimes type too fast for the game to register all my keystrokes.
Wow, I didn't know that, thanks for info.
@josh-bothun Thank you :)
I appreciate your feedback.
@bartosz The system is in early development stage and also player uses outdated version, that's why it's missing so many things. xD
Thanks for playing :slight_smile:
@bartosz I checked it, it works. You must touch as many fields as you can. Doing it normal way (without touching one field) should cost you 4 files. However, virus will say that you could do better, because there is a catch in rules which allows you to touch all 17 fields and lose only 3 files. You can check it in Walkthrough (in the links section).
I'm also planning to make a video for youtube and show all things.
EDIT: Making video was faster and easier than I though - it's below preview images. You can check 2nd game, it's around 7:46.
@cannedtuna Yeah, I noticed that and did it properly on 2nd game, but I run out of time to change it on 1st.
@andrea Actually, many things in my game are complete nonsense :sweat_smile:
Thanks for feedback :)
I use the newest version of Chrome and I get a message: "Your browser does not support any of the required graphics API for this content."
Damn, I sneezed and wizard died, 101 points. Overall pretty good.
There are a few bugs, you can click on health bar of any tool and drag it. You can collect red blocks through the last layer, just go to the edge and spam with hand. Also, I don't know if that's a bug, but chisel don't do any damage to last layer.
Edit: Also sometimes buildings and chest spawn too close to each other and part of them is missing.
@nitropictures @team-on @nova31 Thanks for playing guys. Don't forget to leave some ratings :)
@theviraldragon, @dignz, @raska, @saladon, Thanks for your feedback :)
@kuro, thanks for care, I'm almost fine now and I'm glad you liked the story ^^
@reheated Thanks for your huge comment. I'm crappy at making music so sorry for that. And yeah when Erdanon have been experimenting with potions for 50 years, he lost some blood, but it wasn't so intense like in his last journey. Thanks for playing.
@johnnysix Glad you liked the skeleton, I came up with this like hour before publishing. And yeah, precise throwing would be super useful, but it would ruin my level design. Thanks for playing.
@vinay-rao Thanks for playing and for kind words. :)
@awesomealliterationalliance Thanks for playing :) And actually not bad idea with that 0.1 sec, I'll try to remember it for future.
OMG, hunter pulls mobs, warrior doesn't know how to tank (he doesn't even have a shield), half of party is missing, these guys are unskilled and ungeared and don't know tactics for skeletons... Ah, just like good old World of Warcraft. :cry:
I can't win cause I always sucked as a healer, but this is one of my favourite entries so far.
"the church is indebted to your wonderful healing"
@vinay-rao I did. Mobs simply stopped spawning. There was only one skeleton which I couldn't kill because of 25 sec cooldown. When my turn undead ability was ready, I realised not a single goblin attacked during this time. So I kept this skeleton "Alive", farmed some gold for 5 minutes and did donations. I guess it was a bug.
You know, your game made me wanna play warcraft again, just few days before important exam. :stuck_out_tongue:
Less I did, more I lived :smirk:
55 years without clicking anything, 17 when I tried to fight.
I tried to be smarter than the game.
2-5-2019 12-2-51.png
Sometimes it worked...
2-5-2019 11-55-26.png
Sometimes it didn't.
What a crazy game. How did you came up with this? xD Pretty good anyways.
Really, really good entry. My time was 5 minutes and something, maybe I will try to improve. Great job. 5/5 for music.
Can't go wrong with good old tower defense. Easy to understand you ran out of time and couldn't finish it, but at least graphics could be more "clear".
Don't know if that was intended, but flies can moonwalk like Micheal Jackson (or moonfly? :D) Additional humor point for that :)
Gladiators go crazy with max bounciness and it even crashes sound. "Are you not entertained?!" takes on a new meaning when some of them literally end up outside colosseum.

Jumping on moving platforms too hard :(
Nice graphics and music tho :)
Damn, I made game with exact same concept :D.
Little confusing at start, but actually NOT that hard, Spamming 1,2 and 5 was enough to win.
@listonos @kittennation @bigtinygames Mage aggro is actually a bug I intentionally left in game. There should be only small chance that enemies target someone else than tank. But even when I was testing game before posting here, I realised it was funny to see mage always dead. Thank you for feedback.
@ioan-pop @stefanie-leitch @galgris @james140 Thanks for feedback :) Glad you liked it.
@william-carlisle @miggyg @eduardogacn Thanks for playing!
@laura-del-pino Thanks for advice. I still struggle to make games more friendly for players and this kind of feedback motivates me. Really hoping to learn new things with every jam.
@leroivi thanks for playing
@chaseplays thanks for this huge comment. I always tend to make games too hard, I'm aiming for this very hard/challenging but satisfaying gameplay (something aka dark souls). Ending probably was disappointing, but I hope completing game after hour of tries was somehow rewarding itself. I respect your effort.
Nice concept and quite satisfying to gib enemies :head_bandage: :gun:
I found shooting with cannon quite hard, but was able to finish game at least on easy difficulty. Especially liked the music and concept.
Interesting, definetely more unique approach to text games. I liked the special effects on text like thunderstorm.
Completed all 15 levels, but had hard time. Very tight sometimes. Very good entry overall.
Great entry, I predict especially high rating on mood and graphics here.
Fun concept
Pleasant surprise, it wasn't flappy bird clone :) Got to 6th wall, seems like making small lines and keeping the egg less bouncy works best.
The only real flaw is camera scrolling. Mama Birb should be close to middle of screen all the time. Other than that great idea and cool graphics.
Nice idea, get's crazy starting from level 5. I got to level 6, but died quickly.
My record is 3000m depth and I was super lucky with RNG. The difficulty would be more balanced without 1-day penalty on fixing stuff. I think it would be also nice to have more control: replace luck with player's reflex like "click on right time" etc. I couldn't adjust music volume too.
Interesting game, fights were really cool. Here's my completion time:

This is really good game. I wasn't expecting it when I saw comments and begging of game. It's kind of slow at start, but I actually enjoyed it more than some of highest rated games of this jam. And graphics are also decent!
Capture.PNG
I wonder if anyone beats this. My hand is dying.
Excellent atmosphere, Would love to be able to respawn faster, because in level with waterfalls I died to white ghosts milion times.
Cool, This is how far I got:
Capture.PNG
Certainly, nice approach on theme.
This game needs some improvements... like more erotic interactions with Mrs. dragon. :v:
Tried for 10 minutes, but I didn't get the effect. I think it will be fair if I not rate this game, sorry.
Not bad, there is some good potential in this game. Maybe some hidden optional items and minimap to not get lost in layers of levels, would be nice thing to add. That ofc if you plan to expand this game.
@zakamana There's one "game breaking" glitch. You can dig basically 2x faster by using WASD and arrows at the same time, as well as some other little bugs - one upgrade with torch gets buggy, sometimes first attack in battle spawns dead bat sprite. Gameplay also need some improvements imo, it gets boring quickly.
I know this comment may sound negatively, but for top level games like this one, I think it's better to give useful feedback on how to improve it even more, rather than praising it to the stars, because potential is great and there's still a lot to polish.
@mausimus Web build doesn't work too well, you may have encountered some bugs because of framerate (I probably forgot to make code less dependent on fps) or maybe the pickup bugged, because every level you start with slow pistol but at start of lvl 2 and 3 there should be better weapon at start. Thanks for playing.
@hilkojj Thanks for suggestion. I didn't know how to make gun sounds from scratch and that's why the quality is bad and not pleasant to listen to.
@ariorick Hehe, well I did exactly the opposite this year, and I see now, that it wasn't great decision.
@northerndonut Thanks! I made pain/death sound with my own voice, one sound took inspiration from Doom and other from WoW.
@mosaic Thanks, I'm glad to hear that, and I totally understand problem with sound. That's 100% my mistake. Now when I think about it, I could have made it dependent on player's position, but my mind wasn't really cooperative during these 48H.
@axeltherabbit Thank you. I acutally intentionally removed fullscreen button, because textures didn't look too well imo, but that could be also mistake.
@azakharov Excellent, that probably means you completed game. I wanted to make it even more similar to Max Payne, but this gamejam slowly drove me into madness because of bugs etc... and well at the end there's only famous quote.
@anthonyharmitage Yeah, nice to hear my game resembles them. There was a lot of good 2d shooter games back then, now forgotten. One of my favourites was Alien Shooter (2003)
@sinusquell Many thanks, I was almost sure I won't make all of that, but I somehow forced myself. Ultimately, my game is quite big for compo, but has some bugs and is definately unpolished. I hope you can one day, find that similar game you played.
@kunonooni Thanks!
I would never expect to see football game on this jam... but here it is! I played similar game on web few years ago, I think it was called "new star soccer", nice memories with it.
Capture.PNG
Not sure if that's a bug, but busses never took this path (red circle on screenshot)
Also not sure why would anybody want to take :bus: , which will mostly likely break during trip :smiley:, but it was actually good addition to game and pretty realistic from my experience :sweat_smile:
Good thing you made hitboxes so forgiving. Thanks to that, I felt like average enjoyer of game rather than average fan.
@hestrateja It's a meme involving gigachad, looks like I incorrectly assumed you know it. My previous comment probably sounds idiotic... :face_palm:
Really nice looking game, but these lever hitboxes can lead to insanity.
"You win! You made it to Pluto!"
Not bad, everything works right. Add more variation next time like different shapes of meteors etc.
My record is 15 score, although random coins seem pointless. Too much guessing, and even if it's correct, it still usually doesn't resolve problems
Crazy idea for game and it's nicely polished! Capture.PNG
Great touch with pixels changing on character, it looked really cool.
Oh my god.
I think there is no point really going back to surface, except maybe only for 1-2 runs at start. Classic approach on theme :pick:
Capture.PNG
Going past 1000 depth seems to be too much for pale dwarf to handle, but I think he will gladly burn himself to death for shiny diamonds :smile:
Nice and quite hard, however nothing happens when I click 'next level', is there only 1 level in game?
Definately high score on mood and theme. Lacks some polish, especially sound on taking picture and maybe alternative key for taking picture (Space) for WASD players.
"So deep" Capture.PNG
So... all gamedevs are dead? :laughing: I enjoyed the music, especially 2nd song!
Nice, leveled up to level 7 and found the bone. Especially liked crazy animation of guys with shovels. Btw, fullscreen didn't work on firefox for me, but it was fine on chrome.
I died at 163m. Rope works really cool.
Honestly, this has the biggest potential I've ever seen. I instantly thought of GeoGuessr. I believe you could really make something serious with it.
So far my record is 45 points (yes, I am that idiot who forgot to put name).
My favourite LD48 game so far. Really hard, but super addictive.
