Survive for 5 waves Press Space to attack Press Z to use special attack the special attack will be randomized by system for each interval of time, you can only use 1 skill You only had one life, your hp and mp will not reset for each battle.
------- POST MORTEM UPDATE fixed delay issue fixed difficult issue reupload and fixed missing link
TIPS - I suggest to use Commander Stance, it has healing skill for Hp and Mp, To counter ranged mobs, i prefer to use Knight Stance than Guardian. and about talent, Passive first, add def and strength active talent, make it equals, the rest is up to you.
The point you've spent for Regeneration talent will not return once you use reset talent.
You only had ONE life, your hp and mp will not reset for each battle.
Beat all stages and show ur score to me :) Have fun playing.
Important for Updated Version : Use keyboard in mapscreen, I = Inventory S = to access Talent screen A = not available for this update. Z = Start Always check inventory after battle win or lose
ya actually it will need Mp , and also timing, we're worrying about the time as well so we've suspnded a lot of features, but everything works here, passive and active talents, etc full version might be come later in a couple of days after
Nice art and the idea seems to be good, but I had a hard time trying to read the skill tree... and the time between waves is really long. I didn't go very far so I don't know if there is something to do in this interval, but at least in the firsts stages it sometimes seems the game has frozen.
That wave of 4 stronger looking enemies is surprisingly difficult. Never was able to beat them. I agree with the person who said the time between waves is oddly long.
It seems like the player is immobilized between waves for half a minute -- completely unnecessary. It's completely unclear what you're investing in for passive and aggressive talents.
Only problem is white characters were unreadable over yellow background. Other than that, I like such simple mechanics and the game seems to be well thought out. Also, other than the menu, excellent visual presentation. Well Done.
The fighting is nice and solid. Good gamefeel for that part.
I don't like how you can't move the character while it's displaying the 'next wave' text. Makes the pacing feel choppy. The game would probably feel better if it accepted, or at least acknowledge input at times like that and the 'battle start' pause.
I can't tell what the things in the talent upgrade screen do; some text to explain them (or even just names) would probably help.
thanks for playing, about the next wave delay, it's mainly because we're at first / tutorial stage, it will decrease to no delay at all, makes everything hard , about talent, yes above you can see it, listed all of it :D
The thing that pulled me into this game was the art style, and one of the few things I ended up truly appreciating by the end of this was the art.
Don't get me wrong, the mechanics work well and there isn't anything inherently wrong with the game if you don't mind grinding at hordes of enemies for a while. But I don't like grinding at hordes of enemies.
The use of the theme is a pretty huge stretch, somewhat comical considering the use but still a very large stretch.
Oh, the audio was nice, that was an enjoyable too.
Very nice game, fun to smash itself, but pauses misleading and brakes the flow. Anyway, good job!

The music and character animation was fantastic, but the game play was a bit repetitive. I kept playing longer than I would normally just for the music.
Artwork is beautiful, but gameplay is kind of disbalanced. The time between waves is rather high, and I don't get why you stop him from moving during that time. But otherwise, nice work!
When I was allocating my points in skills I had no clue of what skill do what. In the game I found the wave messages a bit too long, and most of the time I didnt find better techniques than holding space. I also noticed that the sword in my back is not moving on the standing animation. Apart of that, the game have nice landscape and there's a lot of work on the hit effects.
Nice game dude! I like the animations and the different attacks. The font was a bit unreadable and the locking of controls was slightly annoying. But other than that: nice! :D
Nice graphics! Really liked the animations. This could turn into a great game. Right now, the text is hard to read and it's not always clear when you can use a skill. As the others have said already, the delay between waves is a bit too long too.
Really nice game extremely well polished. Too bad it's a little repetitive. If you let space pressed, you beat waves after waves without doing anything else. But make this game in 48 hours is a real achievement ! Bravo :)
thanks a lot for playing, yeah im gonna work the full version after done with my exams , i've planned a lot before, story, gameplay, music etc but only this i can achieve for ludum dare, :D ;D
Using the upgrades screen before even playing the game one time is hard to apprehend. A couple of solid things, like the background music and animation. I could go through the first level just by holding space down and waiting though.
It looks a very huge game and I think you guys were at the right direction. With some changes, this could be a great web game. My complains is that the level up system is too complex, but gameplay is too simple. Other than that, very good!
Great game! I like the graphics and the gameplay. But it takes some time to understand the complex skill system. I played the web version and had two problems with the game. The text looks different to the screenshots provided by you. The letters are a bit bolder and less space between them, so sometimes the text is really hard to read. The second problem is the recognition of the z key. It takes several key presses to switch to the next screen.
