We're a two person team happy to be back for our second Ludum Dare! Hopefully you enjoy the game!
In Adventure Smasher you get to play as the boss. It is your job to guard your treasure and kill all adventuring heroes that attempt to enter your lair in hopes of riches and glory.
You move around with WASD and aim with your mouse. You have three abilities; Normal attack (Left mouse click). Whirlwind (Right mouse click), and finally your ultimate ability (Space bar).
This is a highscore game where you try to survive as long as you can and kill as many adventurers as possible before you meet your demise. You Play as a Demon with cannon arms. Good luck!
Very nice visuals and audio! It would be nice to see something like a combo multiplier, so it is more satisfying when you kill multiple enemies in a short time.
Very nice! On the easy side, though. Never felt like any of the adventurers were much of a threat and I could pretty much run them over. Screenshake would indeed make this more satisfying, as well as some other pickups like the adventurers' loot that could be spent on traps and such, and maybe giving the player a bit less health. Also, ditch the Papyrus font in the menus. It's like the Comic Sans of fancy fonts.
Solid, but as others have said, more feedback from high numbers of kills would be good. Also, Clicking once doesn't make you shoot once (sometimes you shoot twice, sometimes not at all) which confused me for a bit until I realized you just hold the mouse down.
@DiegoMustache The shooting part sounds odd, are you sure that it is not your mouse that is acting up? I have tested it on multiple computers and asked friends to do so as well, no one has had said issue.
Just awesome. I enjoyed everything about this game. Though I really think you could've made it a bit more interesting. Also I didn't like the sound the spells you cast make. But overall it's great. Good Job!
Pretty fun game! I especially liked the adherence to RPG-player tropes: warrior charges the boss, ranger kites endlessly, mage stands still blasting with magic, and rogue ignores everything else and heads for the treasure.
Very fun game! Controls were perfectly simple for this type of game, graphics were great, and audio set the mood well. I think instead of MP, you could make good use of time locked skills or if you want to keep MP, go a more item heavy approach, but for a start this game rocks! Great job.
Great game! Another good example of what people can do with the LÖVE engine. :) A score multiplier for multiple consecutive kills would be really nice. And I have to take a look on how you did the dynamic lighting. Looks nice!
Great. I love the fact that every type of the enemy behaves differently. Fluid movement and real time shadows that dont need to be in there just add to the feeling.

This is exactly the type of style and gameplay I like. Nice artstyle but I expected a bit more flashyness. I guess it just needs some polishing. Goodjob!
