Great game mate! Just enough clues to let you guess what's going on in the story. I liked the player hitbox that let me jump of a platform with my chin. I felt like you had creative level design at some points, though that might be the lack of platformers I've played.

One gripe though, that screaming noise from robo devil, which scared the crap out of me at first, became really annoying after the 2nd time. Again, overall the game was great and I enjoyed making it.

I can't say anything specific about the game that others haven't already said, but generally, it looks like you made a game too wide to have anything deep. I like the ambition, just not that great in a game jam. I hope that you keep working on the game and fix some of it's problems, it could turn out really nicely.

This was pretty fun to play. I personally didn't enjoy the title pages, it was annoying to read and kinda conflicted with the cartoony robots. Other than that, great job!

Very well designed! Some more explanation would have made the game less frustrating at first, like putting the instructions in the game and showing the shadow's turn so it won't look like you're humans die at random. But the rest of the game seemed well thought out and I enjoyed playing it!

The crashed ALOT, but since it saved your progress and restarted so quickly it wasn't so bad. Graphics could have been better, but I really liked the sounds you used. Oh, and meteor was definitely my favorite spell.

You really nailed the feeling of "I need more fuel but I don't want to leave the car alone!"

Siege Tower by GideonTheBard 2017-08-09T13:52:19Z

The magic powered siege tower has an invisible number indicating how much energy's left. This number slowly diminishes and stops the tower and makes the magic orb disappear when it reaches 0. The enemies you fight are powered by magic so defeating them gives the tower more energy... somehow XD. I did a terrible job explaining stuff other than the controls which I'll need to improve for the next jam.

I'm glad you liked the artstyle, I might have been able to go for something more modern, except I couldn't find the cable to plug in my drawing tablet. Any visual appeal is pure luck.

Thanks! I'll follow that advise.

@Phlip45 I didn't plan in time for bug fixing which led to some nightmarish glitches, like minions not going all the way to the player. There are technically archers in the game, but they stopped spawning for some reason and I never found out why! The game definitely could use sound, but I currently don't have software for making sound effects or music. I was kinda expecting someone else who would do that, but after this I'll have to start looking for a music program.

Thanks for the advice on getting rankings! I guessed ranking other people would help but I wasn't sure why.

@easy82 I'm glad you liked the game! Never came up with why the soldiers aren't fighting... Let's just they're cowardly... yeah. In fact, let's say that was the reason all along, totally didn't just make that up.

I'm currently trying to update my game with sounds from bfxr(thanks for recommendation). I should have had that out the other day but now I'm stuck with trying to fix some major bugs. Hopefully I can figure it out before the end of the week.
