My first Ludum Dare!

And, Oh, how exciting/overwhelming it was! LD29 was a great experience for me! I'm so happy that I'm ending the weekend with something, even though my something isn't that great.

In my game, you play a hero who wields a bow and fires arrows at a giant to keep him from destroying you. Click the screen, pull back, and release to fire an arrow.

Not only was this my first Ludum Dare, but this was my first time using Unity. I fell in love with Unity almost instantly. I can't believe what a powerful tool it is!

I know my game isn't that great, but I hope playing it isn't a complete waist of time for someone out there.

Until next time!

the gameplay is very repetitious, i like the artstyle though.

Pretty boring gameplay, and I found the controls a bit dodgy. But, I will give you this, it was animated VERY well, and the graphics were good.

The controll was pretty hard for me :/

the drag and shoot controls are cool for bows and tablet games, with the mouse it was difficult to master but I did anyway.. Nice game

How much hits it needs to take?

I don't think I made a single hit, but there was something kind of awesome about this game. I'd love to see it work well.

I like how it takes some time to learn how to shoot, but once you get the controls it becomes really accurate.
Also presentation on art is really good eventhough art itself isn't the pretties around. :P

I hit the rock guy a bunch but was never able to win.

Nice job. I like the animations on the monster. The controls were a bit difficult, but using the screen brightness as your life meter was cool.

Hi. like the idea and the look of your game. Shame no sound, recommend BXFR and Audacity with Unity. Something off about the aiming and arrow velocity, doesn't feel quite right.

Yeah Unity is a lot of fun. Sweet graphics. I feel like I hit the guy 100 times and he never went down :) You must not have gotten to the win logic yet!
