Updates ------- - Post Jam Version : it mainly include the end ! - "Web" : Only playable by two player with the keyboard - Player 1 : a/d . left control . space to confirm - Player 2 : left/right arrows . right control . return to confirm - "Windows (Fixes - Rules OK)" : Nothing change just keys fix when playing with joypads and scrolling fix. - Coming soon : post compo version with an end to the game ! You probably gonna see the Balrog !
Beware the Balrog is a racing game for 4 players. Dig, dig, dig deep beneath the surface of the Earth, grab weapons to shoot your opponents and try to go as fast as possible!
Gameplay -------- You go faster when there is nothing to dig. When you grab a weapon, it is automatically selected for your bot. Shooting can slow down your opponents or destroy obstacles
Controls -------- Can be played with up to 4 X-box pads + keyboard. (keyboard will be used when no pad left)
X-box Pad
Left stick - Move left/right Hold A - Shoot( keep it down for the minigun )
Keyboard 1 ---------- Directional keys - Move left/right Space - Shoot ( keep it down for the minigun )

The graphics are great, but the game is just empty. There's nothing but a blue void below the main area. Also, it doesn't really explain what we exactly need to do. :/
Looks nice and sounds nice. The mechanic is pretty fun too. Just doesn't go anywhere, when you get to the bottom it continues on forever. Plays well under wine, not sure why OS X and Linux binaries weren't provided though, seeing as it's made in Unity.
The controls are kind of weird feeling on the keyboard, wasn't able to test with gamepad. Playing solo but I can certainly see the potential for fun with some friends, I'll have to check out the post-jam version!
Would be fantastic if it had networked multiplayer but obviously that is asking a bit much :P
The art and music is really good, thoroughly enjoyed it. Main feedback would be(and I understand - time limitations): make the power ups and their effects/durations more obvious and possibly have a never-ending game mode or some kind of time trial.
the level ends with an endless nothingness? :P I like the idea of a downward race against friends. Never seen that before. You can see that you put effort into this game and its graphics. Well done. I like that you got controllers working in Unity. Has always been a hassle for me. (until I found the InControl library). I dont know really why, but the controls are a bit confusing though. It feels reversed for some reason.
Cool concept, I am loving all the local multiplayer love. This would be a great game for the Xbox. The graphics where really charming. I wish the rotation was just a little bit tighter, it felt a little off.
This is a really great idea, I can't wait to see more post-compo work on it! A single-player mode would be pretty cool too, or just add multiplayer bots.
really great graphics and music. I found the controls a bit irritating at first, I somehow always turned in the wrong direction. I cannot really analyze the gameplay as I played alone :(

Try to rename it (windows.zip looks dangerous to chrome).

Great work!
