Very impressive. Toggling between weapons is super smooth amd everything is consistantly goregous. Love the low screen and art res, the color pallete and retro feel. The shadow mapping adds a nice touch too, which I only noticed once I made a hex map large enough to reach the giant eyes. Super cool, great work!
The concept and its execution are solid and the pixel art is gorgeous. The difficulty level is great too, it holds your hand only enough to get you started and then it's truly challenging, especially with that timer. Great work.
That was sick. Took me and a friend a lot of thinking to work through, although we got stuck after loggin in. No matter what we did the monster would kill us quicker than we could type the commands, sometimes within a few seconds. Is that right?
@jesse-j-jones Yeah he kills you in 4 stabs and that happens in under a second if he is close enough. The goal is to kill him 10 times without dying yourself. I know there's not a lot to it, but there is a game there, I watched your stream and you just didn't find it. It's played like this

I do appreciate the critisim and will try and squeeze more gameplay in next time for sure. This was more of an experiment to see how much of an engine/renderer I could write from "scratch" in the timeframe. I started with a bare bones OpenGL template of mine and then took it as far as I could. I considered working the third day to build more models and gameplay but couldn't bring myself to sacrafice compo status.
@Lincolnsalles I think it may have defaulted to integrated graphics. I forgot to force it to use the GPU which does not happen in rare cases for some cards. Thanks for checking it out regardless.
The ladder mechanic is cool, the shop too. Some more levels would have been nice. Super impressive for your second game after only two weeks of dev life. Keep it up!
Short and sweet. Love the twist and the cast.
Great job on the pixel art, I like the physics based movement too, at least I assume that's how it's done based on the way the customer trollies push you around, it adds a feel of urgency.
