Gameplay is easier using a stylus rather than a mouse... but my arm hurts!
Zanaku8 Dec 2014, 23:15
For a game where I literally just swung my mouse in circles, that was really, really fun! The atmosphere and tension was paced just right, and the graphics and audio were great.
I particularly liked the trail from the blade. :)
...kinda want to know more about this hero now, too. Make another game, quick!

Its a good game but, i dont mean to sound harsh, during the playthrough it made me feel like i was doing really good and killing tough monsters but the ending was too abrupt, i though i was going to control the hero and be more powerful.
Im saying this because i really believe that there is a huge amount of talent here!
If you have a site or twitter where i can check more games please include it in the description.

MY ARM!!! :O Some of us aren't used to this jerky kind of motion... ^_^ Still, a very cool and good looking/sounding game. Clever! Never playing again, and I hate that lazy bum of a hero, but satisfying in the end, and I probably burned a calorie.

Very nice game. I've got a strange feeling in my arm now. Thank you for your entry.
FukYo9 Dec 2014, 10:46
Yeah, thank you very much for your comments guys, it is very nice. This is our first game for LD)

Fun idea!
Pestel Crew9 Dec 2014, 19:40
Cool! I think ending is nice and whole game is realy neat. I'd like to be a magic sword) Greetings from Saint-Petersburg, guys!

Pretty neat, and funny too. Really liked the mood/atmosphere and visual style. Well done. :)

Beautiful. Would be perfect for a touch screen.
p.s. my web host was under DDOS attack, but they sorted it out now.
Please download P.Rick Airious and let me know what you think. Thank you.

Wow. This is a great entry! Music, art, controls, everything just feels great. Pacing was superb. Little weak on the theme, and the ending was a bit of a letdown but this is still some quality stuff. Great work!

Ooooh my arm. Managed to save the "hero" though (lousiest hero I've seen)! That sword animation was very well done and it worked very smoothly, I didn't notice any bad hitboxes or anything. Simplistic gameplay well done is what I like, good job. The music played also very well into the dark-ish atmosphere.

great graphics, fun game to play :D

andreaswitzen10 Dec 2014, 20:52
Talking sword and style reminded me of transistor. Nice, graphics, sound and mood but the gameplay got a bit tedious.

Kim Sjöberg12 Dec 2014, 14:36
Damn! almost burned a whole in my mousepad, gonna be sore for days from this. But I finished! Cool game!

Shide13 Dec 2014, 13:51
Art is great, music is cool and strikes the mood alright, the game itself is jsut hard and long enough for me to get just a bit tired and afraid that I won't do it. Great entry. Check out out game, we've updated the link
kipelovets13 Dec 2014, 16:59
Pestel Crew, it's more like a girl's game on a touchpad ;)

hbocao13 Dec 2014, 18:47
I'm so going to sue you. I'm already suffering from RSI and you do this to me? Well, totally worth it. The art is awesome and the music really set the mood. Short and simple, but fun. Gret job, guys!
Kabukky13 Dec 2014, 18:53
Great job on the graphics, sound and mood. It gets a little repetitive after a while, but that doesn't take away from the polished feel of the game.
All in all - good job! I'd love to see more from you guys.

Fun! Excellent graphics, great use of the theme! I did save that slowpoke hero, but he took his sweet time!
chaosed013 Dec 2014, 20:42
Pretty good. Ramps up perhaps a bit too slowly, but I liked very much how the screen got smaller and smaller.

Unity webplayer does not support Linux.
You may want to add a Linux executable ;)

Great graphics, and great concept. It was fun, good job!

spotco14 Dec 2014, 07:05
Nice graphics (reminded me of bastion?), though he takes way to long to stand up. Also, the font felt a little out of place (maybe just get something from dafont?)
gmaker14 Dec 2014, 11:44
Awesome! I loved it all! IT's HIGH FIVE STARS FOR ALL!) Good job.
zinkins14 Dec 2014, 15:14
Очень круто! Awesome! ^_^

The sword animation is great, really liked the movement of it and could see this working well on mobile as a time killer.

MrBadIvan15 Dec 2014, 18:05
Very very beautiful game and mechanics are interesting, despite my arm are really almost bleeding =)))
Так держать=)

That was great but it could have been a bit shorter, my arm got tired!

calavera16 Dec 2014, 06:45
Don't know if doing this with a trackpad was better or worse, but I think my finger is broken.
5 for mood!

Art, music and atmosphere are incredible. Swinging the sword yourself is a fun gameplay mechanic, but i wish there'd be more to it than just wildly swinging it in a circle. Right now, the initial fun of swinging the sword vanishes very quickly.

dunin17 Dec 2014, 20:52
All is good except the gameplay (Hard to write this comment, my arm hurts...)

nosfer17 Dec 2014, 20:58
my arm hurts now, thanks :)

Graphics are very nice, was a little tiring :p

GFM17 Dec 2014, 21:40
Goddammit!! This was great, but my hand hurts! >__<
Slash the sword felt great!! It was really fun to kill all those monsters. Graphics and sfx were also great!
But I, personally, think the music was too badly equalized... some instruments sounded pretty bad... Though, it added a nice mood to the game!!

Very good greaphics. Gameplay is simple and fun. Maybe needs a bit more work on the sounds.

barryrowe19 Dec 2014, 14:01
As the artist for our projects, the art and the animation are stellar and is greatly appreciated! Especially the sword animations, not sure how you guys achieved the rotational swing animation but it looks awesome! The progression of this game is great, the light gets dimmer as you progress, adding a layers of difficulties because you couldn't the see swarm of enemies like you could in the beginning. Great job, guys! - LeMix

Love the graphics. Found the gameplay a bit too straining (I suffer from RSI), but enjoyed the experience.

Brilliant story!
Taunia Sabanski21 Dec 2014, 03:12
Ow, my wrist!! LOL! Not the best game for people with carpal tunnel, but I digress. :)
This was really cool! I loved the art style and the way the innovation of gameplay, even if it was a bit painful for me! You must have taken some inspiration from SuperGiant because it reminded me a lot of Bastion. I could totally see this working great with a touchscreen or joystick, much more than a mouse. This was really innovative for the one screen theme, too. Haven't played anything like this so far. No real complaints about it, it was pretty solid through and through. :)

Now I can draw perfect circles with my mouse! Yay! =)

Something very Bastion about the art and music here, I really really dig it! Was super hard using my laptop trackpad, was sweating by the end, but still made it through :) I think with infinite wave games like this with only a single mechanic to kill the enemies, it's usually best to give a limited use secondary attack say an insta-kill AOE that you can only use 3 times or else need to wrack up a good combo to use or something -- introduces a bit of strategy for timing etc, and gives the player a little more to do than swing wildly! That said, it was a lot of fun and very tense, and the game has a great atmosphere too. Well done :)





That's just Awesome :D
The graphics is amazing.
It would be fun game for mobile devices where you could touch the screen to chop enemies.
