Wow! We really got this finished. Team Flare presents : Blackwald Forest
A game completely done from scratch within this Ludum Dare. From the black forest made with the black forest. Making of's of the whole process involved with such a big team and all the 3D scanning will follow soon :) It's a big download, so be patient :) We'll provide builds for other versions soon.
Beneath the Schwarzwald lures an lonely lovely imp. He and the princess fell in love. But the King, is against this tender relationship and sends out the bravest knights of them all to get her into a proper relationship.
HOW TO PLAY : -Use right mouse to walk. -Left mouse to pull a lever. -Knights must not reach the princess. -Use the imp's traps to kill 'em all!!
TeamFlare: Tanja, Tom, Peer, Rebekka, Timo, Jan, Fred, Olaf, Benno, Benito, Steffi. Special thanks to Thomas, Marian and Benjamin. And the old man.
Happy bloodbath! :)
Edit : We uploaded builds for Mac and Linux, corrected missing teammember in the titlescreen (sorry Olaf!), and decreased the filesize (aka who needs mipmaps) Enjoy! :)
Incredibly polished game for a jam, well done. I enjoyed the mechanic of slaughtering the invading knights as well. And i really liked the video intro.
Very pretty, loved the graphics style, audio was great too. The controls were a big painpoint for me though, too sluggish and clunky. Takes a good amount of the fun out of it. :( Great entry though :D
That was amazing... There was something oddly satisfying about seeing those knights get slaughtered, especially when squishing them with the rocks. ;) Great job!
Sublime work ! Absolutely amazing, the sounds and music, the intro video, the wonderful graphics... The ending is also amazing, the lose video is great. Amazing work guys !
Wow, the intro/outro is just amazing. The graphics speaks for himself and the game concept is hilarious. This is really art! 5 of 5 Stars for your team.
Got stuck on a few bugs. Had some trouble with changing the active station of the character also. But overall it had humor and was fun to play, with interesting graphics. :)
Absolute loveliness! <3 Main character anim seemed unusual, but it might be the speed he moves out. That's a *very* pedantic and minor point for what is an amazing entry. Well done!
Weird mix of english and german in the title and description (why not just stick with Schwarzwald? Or Black Forest?), but apart from that the presentation is something very unique for a LD game. Good job.
Love it! You know how to entertain me, even with a simple game like this. I could sit here and watch these knights die all day... Does this sound weird? But seriously, great job on graphics and sound. I love that the atmosphere is kind of dusky, but the silly music and sound effects make it an awesome combination of mysticality and black humour. Thanks for this, and congratulations on your victory in advance!
Cool game! Except it took me a few times to get it to work. This is due to a bug that happens when you try to crush one of the knights with a block. If you miss by a little bit, the knight will turn around and if they make it all the way back to the beginning of the level they will walk off of the map making the level unbeatable as the knight is still alive.
Hehe this is like reverse-lemmings :P might need a little more gameplay polish (too much latency between clicking on a trap and the trap being activated IMHO), but certainly from a graphical and audio point of view the game is just beautiful ^^ I really love the trailer too, you guys are insane ;)

The polish is astounding but the controls feel kinda rigid.
The music and the graphics are fantastics !
and the gameplay is so cool (:
The graphics are so beautiful. The best in this LD I think! I'm standing there looking at the 3D. Wow! You guys knew what you were doing!!!!!!!
The game could be a little more engaging, but it's a good start! Are you developing further?
Lovely to see this, top marks for graphics!!
It looks amazing for a LD entry and plays very well - good job!
Gameplay fits the theme and plays well, too.
The controls where not that easy on a trackpad, but I really liked your result
Nice work !
Looking for the next par of you making of :)
Cheers !

(just there is a bug on level 2, no any new knights was spawning when I reach 12/14)
I love the game
Gameplay and graphics are fantastic !
The animations are impressive.
And when the knights dies ... FATALITY !
The sounds are great too.
The end video is very cool and made me laugh a lot.
An excellent entry.
11 peoples ! you are an hell of a team !
I've not manage to move the character to see what's coming, maybe some traveling instead of clicking on the next trap to move him.
Graphics were absolutely awesome ! Gameplay was original but maybe too repetitive.
Great game anyway :) !
Great job with the graphics, animations are too simple but the game looks good overall.
But seriously, great job on graphics and sound. I love that the atmosphere is kind of dusky, but the silly music and sound effects make it an awesome combination of mysticality and black humour.
Thanks for this, and congratulations on your victory in advance!
The narration was a great special touch.
And wow... that scenario!
