Don't try to fight the trolls during the night, wait for day for them to turn to stone.
SMACK YOUR WASD KEYS LIKE YOU MEAN IT!

This was our first ever ludum dare, it was lots of fun. Our take on an unconventional weapon is a shovel-axe that you can use to chuck blocks behind you or damage your enemies.

Any block that is chucked will carry the object on top of it too! Chucking cacti will cause them to explode and spawn new cacti. The trolls chase you during the night but at dawn they turn to stone. Petrified trolls drop hearts when they die.

See how many days you can survive!

I really liked the graphics! The controlls we're a bit weird because of the isometric perspective, but other than that, I liked the game. And by the way: Thank you for the feedback on our game, I think I managed to fix it and you can now enjoy the full game (not only the last bit)

Awesome little game.
I really liked the graphics, especially the sandstorm animation.
It was a bit awkward, that the enemies could move freely and I could only move in squares which made the killing a little hard, but otherwise great work :)

I like the restricted area concept and your flat voxel design. The game was hard to play though, controls seemed a bit buggy and enemies were arriving simultaneously and kill me pretty fast.

Nice graphics. The control scheme is a bit difficult because the isometric view makes arrow keys ambiguous.
I liked how the trolls turned to stone on daybreak :)

I like the design of the game. The controls were a bit strange but all in all good job :)

Nice, clean graphics, but the controls ruined it for me. Fun idea though :)

really impressed with how much you got in your LD, the art style was very mice and polished especially the flame participle effect.

the gameplay was ok but not too captivating, with a little bit more play testing I think it could hold my attention a little longer

this game is awesome, and really fun to play!, those fire shovel graphics are fun to watch at when running around :)

The game seemed really hard, as the controls seemed a bit clunky and the enemies kind of swarmed you. The game looks amazing though and I love the character designs and art style.

The visuals were cool.
I would have loved if I can smack at any time when ever I press the button .

Great graphics, but the controls really got in the way for me, and combat could really do with more polish. But a fun little game!
