Made in just under 2 days, as I have school tomorrow so need to go to bed. Villainous is about killing as many people as you can in the allowed time. The soldiers and archers will fight back though, so be careful! You can buy weapons and health potions in the shop for money gained by killing people. Good luck!
Couldn't run the Mac executable. Had trouble navigating the main menu (because I didn't know what the controls were yet). I bought the firebombs and could hold down the mouse and spam them all over everything-- I'm pretty sure that is not the way you wanted it to work, but it was quite fun! :) Was difficult to see the bullets that the enemies were throwing at me.
You should make some effort making it easy to start it, I had to make a batch file with my Java installation to start it.
Anyway, having played your game once: - I liked the particle-numbers to show damage and money - I didn't like that I couldn't see whether I was attacking if I wasn't hitting anything; some kind of effect or a sticking sword would've been nice. - Your bow seemed to be bugged - I appearantly shot myself to death. - Your graphics are adequate, nothing special but they serve their perpose.
I definetly see potential in the concept, but I think a bit more polish would be in order. Keep going!
If not for the many bugs it would have been okay... But your Throwing Star and Bow are bugged (the projectiles also hit the player) and there are a few rendering bugs that will sometimes slighty change the player's position. Need a bit more polish!
I had some issues with the bow and the throwing stars, where they were doing damage to me as I fired them. Dashing around with the firebomb was pretty amusing though :D
I ran it on windows. I though the sound design was engaging and added a nice touch. What i liked most about this was it was simple but fun. The particle system also was neat.
I thought this game was really fun and enjoyable and had enough content to keep you coming back after each 5 minutes because you wanted to see what each thing was. The sounds and particle system were cool aswell. However you could have improved the artwork.
Pretty fun! But man those firebombs are pretty OP. Also, you should explain somehow that you need to click people to swing your sword on them. Great work :)
I feel as a real villain! Muwahaha, killed myself with the arrow :( I liked how you can drive them all in the corner and then kill them with a firebomb :D Like a flock of sheep. Nice concept :) I could just run the JAR without issues not like Gemberkoekje says. (Windows)
5...5 everywhere. Heheheh The menu navigation has a "extra option" hide somewhere. They exit the game as well. Don't like the camera, they have some glitch when you colide with other character, but its a good game when you learn how to kill.
Thanks for all the feedback guys :D Ive updated it with the bugfixes for arrows and throwing stars, and it should work on mac now, as its compiled against 1.6, sorry about that!
works fine win 7 64bit. Unfortunately, would have loved to send you a stacktrace ;) Liked the game. There is some glitch with the bow that would make the projectiles stick to the main character instead of flying around. I also think the firebomb is far too powerful in relation to the other weapons. It has a flow to it though :) Scored ~7000 points.
Working now, lots of fun. Had some trouble at the main menu, didn't realize that it was WASD there as well. If you could map to both that and arrow keys, might be a bit more helpful. Had tonnes of fun when I got the firebomb!

If I were to make some small improvements, I'd make the arrow keys work and make sword attacks automatic, but that's about it.
