Alert in Blockland is fighting action game, where you have to win duels (You only get one enemy at once) to defeat darkness in Blockland.

Controls is in tutorial, but you will need mainly arrow keys, spacebar and numbers for shopping.
Game is autosaving after each win.

EDIT: Created HTML5 port, so you can now play in browser. This version may be buggy, so if you want to rate and you are not Mac user, please download Windows version.

This is really great idea, but my impression of this game ruined its speed. I thought, I had only 5 FPS.

XXMarekXX: Sorry for that, but problem must be on your side. It works totally fine for me and my friends (on full FPS).

A very interesting idea, I'd love to see it more fleshed out. I really like the menu system, but the delay before you could select threw me a bit. Fighting itself was a bit tedious since it was really slow, a few seconds per each side's movements felt like ages. Still, pretty good try!

Nice game I like it. No problem with FPS here, runs pretty smooth. However, I would still make the movement a bit faster:)

The web version is quite slow in chrome. Otherwise, looks like an interesting mechanic.

Interesting idea but it's really let down by the speed of combat - turns (especially attacking) taking over a second each hurts the game - I think speeding everything up would make it a lot better.

Thanks for ratings, anyway I am going to make extended version - with quicker gameplay, maybe LAN battles etc. - of Alert in Blockland and release it when final results will be known :).

Would be great with somekind of parry mechanic. This was also pretty fun though. Well done!

The fighting is too slow to be funny repeatedly ;-)

I like the idea but the gameplay is a little bit too slow

Its a funny dea but its so slowly..

Like others, It is much too slow.
Maybe interesting with other fight moves (defend, charge, ...)

Only played web version, the FPS give it a turn-based feeling...

I killed my tutor!!! Lol simple but good game! I included it in my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/Sii3dnpSvEI
