Oh, brave gladiator! For the past 10-12 hours, you've battled your way through an always-online single-player action RPG filled with thrills and terrors. Now you've arrived at the grand arena, and it's finally time for an epic showdown with the slime that stole your lover! No more escapes. No more illusions.
This is it -- the final boss battle. The odds are stacked against you, but don't be so quick to admit defeat!
* Note: Your experience with this single-player game will no doubt be enhanced by the game's always-online requirement and convenient cloud-saving technologies. Online interactions with other players may alter your experience with the solo campaign. Internet access required for some features (i.e. all but the title screen).
-- CONTROLS --
Move: WASD (or gamepad) Jump: Space Attack: To the death! [Edit to clarify: There's no attack button, but the slime *can* be damaged.]
--------------
I highly recommend the standalone versions rather than the Web player. Looks much nicer and probably runs a lot smoother...
The graphics are nice, I like how the sand changes after you walk on it. So,you cannot attack the slime, only die ? The camera angle is weird, and at some point it just randomly changed.
There's no attack button -- you and the slime both take damage when you collide. As for the camera, I didn't put the player in the middle because I wanted it nice and low and his fat head kept blocking the view. :D
Graphics are stylish and nice, but I couldn't figure out if I were doing it right. I guess it's impossible to win? Also I don't get the singleplayer comment in the description. Oh well.
I love the camera angle! Makes it feel like a cool movie. Unfortunately it tends to glitch a lot when I try to attack. Audio was missing which was a shame. I'd still love to see more :)
I think I understand what I need to do but it sure seems hard (and slow!). I keep getting myself stuck on a wall (because I can't see them), which makes it harder. The camera really spazzes out if I get attacked near a wall. Certainly a very nice looking game, though!
Gets easier once the Americans wake up and come online! ;)
I still couldn't complete it though. Had a nice matador tactic going but once I got trapped against a wall it was all over. Got down to around 600 one time...
Very crafty idea nicely executed. The art style is lovely and clean. A few sounds would have gone a long way. Good work!
Nice game,love the graphics. That cartoony style is so good. To bad we can't attack, and to bad there is no sound, it would have strengthen the feel. I think there is a trick but I can figure it out.
The game looks nice but the camera did some tricks on me while I was being pushed up from jumping at the slime. I would like to know if there is a way to beat it. Good work!
Very impressive in art style, perspective, and concept. Unfortunately I keep getting disconnected at 1 health. I can't even tell if that's a bug or not. Oh well. Pretty neat anyway.
3d games done for ludum dare have a tendency to look awful, but here that is not the case! It has a distinct style and looks polished. Now the gamplay on the other hand feels very unfinished, but I'm willing to look past that for such nice graphics!

While running away from your opponent isn't the most fun mechanic, I did enjoy the game. Interesting camera angle, but it worked.

I couldn't get the mac version to run. I always just got a message that the app couldn't be opened. The web player ran fine though.
Also, a couple times when I was close to both a wall and the slime, the camera would start spinning really fast and not stop until I was dead.

Thanks for all the comments! Glad to see some people picked up on the angle I was going for. :)
