Fly around and burn the nasty orks before they kill all the villagers! You are their only hope!
Keyboard moves, space breathes fire. The game is effectively over when all your villagers are dead
Aside from that, adding no more features sadly! Will upload a post-compo version with more though, that includes death (so that villagers can respawn) and cleaning out old, burned entities. Perhaps an exit screen, ha!
Oh, only the OSX and Web releases have been tested. Sorry, no Windows or Linux machines around!
Who knew burning everything could so much fun, the game is far from complete but this is a lot you can do with this. You may want to check their growth, I noticed some slowdown when the map was covered in purple guys. Great work!
I couldn't protect the village. It seemed like I only had a little time to burn the first orc camp before the next few spawned, and if I tried to burn the orcs, I would set the village on fire. Then the villagers died, the orcs stopped attacking, but the game didn't tell me I lost.
This could be really fun if it felt more finished. I think if the dragon was faster, the orcs were further away, and there was a way to attack without causing friendly fire, it could be a great game.
This game SO needs some kind of metal soundtrack. The only other thing I'd like to suggest is having the dragon point towards the orcs at the onset...somehow I mistook the village for my target. ^_^;
This is a good idea but the lack of audio, or any indication of success/failure is a downer. It seems like the enemy camps spawn really fast. I think a polished post-compo version could be really fun, though!
I just didn't get this. The fire seemed to do nothing, even when I did manage to set the orcs on fire, the orc huts spawned constantly, including inside of the villager huts, and they wiped the villagers out in a matter of seconds, and being that I can't do anything to them, there really was no point in me being present.
There is no hope for the villagers at the current ork spawn rate. :p I played the updated version and you seem to be on the right track. I think the dragon should turn, and possibly move, a bit faster. The graphics are nice and simple.
Cool game :) The graphics are well done, I was reading your post and I totally agree with you, even a simple graphic idea can take a lot of time to draw ;) The gameplay/mechanic is interesting, great work !
This seriously needed better control over the dragon. And balance, the orc spawning rate is too high! though that's an issue with the time restraints, so it's ok. The orcs...it was really hard to tell which ones you had already killed. And wuh...why did they spawn right in the village!? My poor villagers ;_; Anyways, had fun playing this xD!
