A knight who could not control his temper was locked away. Evil has now entered his kingdom. Filled with rage he breaks free! Now the evil must be cleansed...
You explode every 10 seconds, try to survive while using the explosion to kill ghosts.
Controls: Mouse - Hold down LMB to run to a location
The bright models and dark lighting evoked a stained glass look and enchanted me! If you continue to develop this, have you considered showing how to restart quickly and help on what the actions are?
Awesome idea. You should add an explanation of what's going on and the controls. From what I can tell you attack every 10 seconds, use this to stay alive as long as possible. The controls seem buggy however, like after a while down takes you SouthWest instead of just South.
I played the web version, and had difficulty because the window is larger than my resolution. When I switched to fullscreen I encountered a new difficulty: whenever I pressed ESC to skip the intro, I exited fullscreen mood.
The concept is pretty interesting, but I wonder if having a countdown to your next attack would be a good idea? Or possibly having your attack recharge every 10 seconds but having to push a button to actually expend it? The art is great, the sound is good, but the controls felt a little weird - sometimes my character would pull in one direction while moving, and I encountered some odd behavior with the ledges which caused me to fall to my doom (which looked pretty cool, I must say). I would have liked to see something happen beyond the game stopping when the player is touched by an enemy.
I like this idea. The only problems I had with this were that you didn't explain how the core game mechanic works and after a while the movement started straying off center (press W would move me diagonally). It also kinda bugged me that there wasn't a key or menu to exit the game. Other than that, it was fun! I made it like 3 minutes or so.
I want to love this. There are lots of beautiful things going on. Brilliant name—play on Knight's Templar, I trust. But I can't figure out what I'm doing or supposed to do. Why do I keep exploding? Should I run to the glowing things? Or, somewhere else?
Great visuals. The controls and game play wasn't that good unfortunately. It felt like a waiting game because it wasn't that hard to dodge the spirits.
Wow, this is shiny. I love the graphics! (And I'm a bit jelous that there are people who can code AND are awesome artists.)
The start music is a bit annoying, the ingame music is okay. The rage sound is - I don't know, I guess it expresses rage, but it's kind of hard on the ears. A war cry or something similar would've been more appropriate, I think.
The gameplay is fun, but gets repetitive pretty fast. Some new elements introduced over time couldn't have hurt, but then again, 48h is pretty short after all. Maybe a way to win instead? (Or is there? I figured it's about survival.)
It's hard to guess how far your rage explosion hits, and how far the ghost hitbox extends - sometimes I was caught by them while I was waiting for the explosion, thinking that I'd be too far away for them to grasp me.
Anyway, pretty good job - and congratulations on finishing your first LD entry!
I'm at Unite 2013 this week, but I'm going to continue to work on this game. I think its got a lot of potential. So if you have any suggestions, please share! :)
Features I plan to add: Visual bar to show rage build up and explosion every 10 seconds. Treasure to collect. Better ghost AI. More levels. Maybe a way to destroy portals and make the objective to clear each level of the castle?
Really interesting game, not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do or how the mechanics work which leads me to not see the LD theme much, but other than that it seems pretty polished.
Nice art and controls. Very solid entry. Goal wasn't real apparent to me but I blew up 10 or so ghosts. Worthy of more development I think. Solid idea and game.

But how to play it? No idea...
And it's really hard to move the character... he tends to go in opposite directions.

Yea there are several outstanding bugs that I need to fix. Not sure if they qualify under the last minute fix it rule or not.
"If I only had more time!"
Brilliant title screen with the floating perspective text!
Sometimes there was a bug where the keyboard controls would get rotated.
Hope that this doesn't void my entry.... didn't add anything, just fixed existing functionality.
Also, figuring out how to play is half the fun. :)
Also looks really good and the music's great! :D
It was fun

The gameplay is original, good work!

I love graphics and the game is quite fun!
I dont' know what i'm supposed to do. Do I have to drop down the monsters?
