Amidst the forgotten outskirts, The Stairless Tower stands tall and unconquered. For decades no one has been able to claim the riches it holds (because there are no means of climbing to the next floor)...
... until brave Sir Andrew (who has a PhD in Demolition and Hammerwielding) decided that it was time for him to step into the action.
Attack the monsters, avoid their claws, smash columns to make the upper floor drop down and try to level the tower as much as possible!
This is fun. The concept and mechanics are great. I wish the dash would dash in the current moving direction. The bottom right column is always a tough one to get away from.
Cool little game, it was really hard to play with a trackpad. It seemed also that my attacks didn't works. At first I though I was not clicking right. I really wish there was more game like this in my childhood :).
fun gameplay, tracking the spiders by their shadows was fun. just found the direction of looking of the player was not smooth enough, sometimes it did not turn away when i tried to run from below the floor, being unable to dash.
I really like the idea, the game is challenging and interesting, I like it. One little complaint I have is that when you dash you should do so in the direction given by the WASD keys, not by the pointer of the mouse since it's less intuitive. Aside from that, I really like it.
Nice feedback on the hammer swing with the animations, especially on the bat, it felt really good to smash them. Music was really nice. The floor dropping out mechanic feels like it could be explored more to get interesting strategies and whatnot. Good job!
Great concept and fun to play! I dig the art and the music. I did struggle a little with the controls but started to get used to by the end of my play through. I kept wishing for a swing sound and for hit sounds when you either hit an enemy or take damage. Dig the UI elements on the left side as well. Great submission! Enjoyed it!
Single mechanics yet fun game. Might need to tighten up the controls, they feel a bit out of touch or just ever so slightly floaty to me.
This feels like one of those games that feels and plays great when the controls are perfectly tightened up. (by controls I mean press of key to movement and inertia of character)
The only thing that i don't like about this game is that the hero didn't change his direction, so that i can smash to the other side. But except of that little thing it is very well made. Nice graphics, nice music and nice sound.
Cool one. It took me 3 dead to understand that the floor was killing me when i destroyed a tower (in fact it's a column tath supports fllor, right ?). Maybe you could make the column higher to let the player view the floor that they supports because at 1st view, floor seems to pop out the ground. With some balncing and less enemies can be really fun. For now, it's amusing. Nice idea.
Really interesting, fun game! I Included it in part 13 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/yuPvpTdD-O8
