Wreck a Goblin (LD31 entry).

Made in 24 hours for the december edition of Ludum Dare.

This is my personal version of the classic "Wreck a mole" arcade game.

As the mage of the town, you must eradicate the goblin invasion. Be careful, they can defend themself. Crazy goblins.

Engine : Construct 2
Graphics : Photoshop/flash
Sound : don't dare ask

Features :
- Amazing SFX, like... lightnings
- A great wizard with a beautiful outfit
- too many goblins.

Controls :

Left click : sends lightning balls on the goblins and captures it. Each captive goblin can be used as fuel to manipulate the "magic hammer" spell. The magic circle at the feet of the wizard tells you how many "magic hammer" spell you can cast.

Middle Click : actives the spell "magic hammer" when fuel (captive goblins) available

right click : when activated and fueled, right click on a goblin to close the exit of his tunnel with the magic hammer spell

Genres: action

Nice game :D
I think the middle power should have been automatic when you press the right click, but other than that i loved the game and the humor :D

Nice game, buttons are a bit complex to remember and use powers, bit difficulty is very well paced. Good work.

Nice and colorful. Levels are a bit long though. Good job!

Loved that you took simple idea and turned it into something cool. Just if levels were little shorter. Never the less very fun game.

Very nice take on the wack-a-mole games! You added a lot of depth to the game, it nows feels more strategic (can I use the hammer? Where do I use it?). Also, 5/5 for the humorous goblin quotes, they made laugh! :)

My only complaint is that the goblins shoot too fast, it's hard to avoid getting hit (especially as the capture spell has to travel to them), so the game is quite hard. You should add 1/2 second delay before the goblins shoot to fix that IMHO.

Cute game. Controls a bit strange with the middle-click/right-click stuff but well done.

This was quite fun, especially on the last level! Good use of screen space too, difficulty seemed just right :)
