Undertake tasks of arcane importance while defending yourself from marauding Kobolds with a tasteful umbrella!
Finally finished. The homebrew thing didn't pan out, went with regular Game Maker instead. It's no masterpiece, but I'd like to point out that I was handicapped by a lack of experience, caffeine, and alcohol.
This is just a simple platformer, with randomly-generated terrain. You block arrows using your umbrella as a shield. A couple of hidden goodies, but nothing too deep.
Used Game Maker 7, sfxr, GraphicsGale. Game uses registries.
Very nice! I love the background story. Plays quite nice and has a neat menu system built around. Sometimes arrows seem to come from the sky with no chance for me to react. The increasingly nasty arrow attacks are well done.
Really nice. I would've loved a bigger display window though.
Cute game, really nifty idea, I have to agree that I would like to glide when the the umbrella is above you. It give you an incentive to move it instead of just setting it behind you. Great job :)
Got stuck on level 4 - just too much to dodge / block! Also thought of the glide mechanic, which I saw in someone else's game (what's with the umbrellas?).

Just feels like it needs something extra. An umbrella glide, maybe?
Congrats on submitting!
