Help Einar the Bald expand (GROW, eh? EH?) his territory and amass a large pile of plunder in this hacky-slashy endless runner.
Based on the two button control theme.
Currently only the Mac build is tested. I discovered last minute that the UI was not working fullscreen at all resolutions, so running windowed is recommended. If running fullscreen, do so at your full resolution.
Update: Graphical glitches in web version are fixed.
nice game.. vikings are so in, this year :) btw. have same issue with WebGL animated sprites, no idea what is going on, so I published WebPlayer at least
Not to bad at all. I used the Web version on a windows box without any issues I could find. Bit difficult to avoid the archers but that's probably just because I suck at it :) I enjoyed it
I've tried a WebPlayer build as well and it has the same glitch, but white instead of black :S I might just remove the web link until I can figure out what's going on...
Great submission. Its fun and challenging. I am not sure why I am murdering monks. I guess thats what vikings do :) The arrow guys can be pretty tough to defeat as things heat up.
Not incredibly theme-based or innovative, but a very good feeling game with a ton of polish. Killing is fun, defending is SUPER fun when you time it just right. And I love both the random phrase generator at the beginning and the snark at the end. Nice work!
really fun game with a simple concept that allows players to understand controls within seconds, but allows for a surprising amount of challenge.
every time I died [which happened a lot haha], it felt like completely my fault. The game seemed very forgiving, and yet still tough and fun, which is a tough thing to make, especially in 72 hours.
Great work, this was a surprisingly solid little game! :)

I played this for way longer than I should've, got an eventual score of 27, I was happy to be awaited in Valhalla. :D Great fun.
Great simple endless runner, nice colour scheme. Web version works nicely. Some screenshake would add a bit of juice to the feel of it. Overll, good job!
Loved everything. I bet this will get even better with more enemies and more mechanics. Keep up with the good work!

I'm from Denmark so it's nice to know how it was like when my ancestors were looting christians in England and stuff :) Really great game! Love the mechanics and use of theme! 5/5
Really liked the game, it is simple but cool. I think the sounds could be better, because it's repetitive. With more type of enemies, effects and a good use for the money you can release it in mobile. Congrats, good job!
This game was pretty cool and fun, although it got a bit boring after a little bit. I thought it was funny and I liked the graphics and music! Great job! :)
Great controls and nice graphics. The timing of then enemies was also really well made as well as the difficulty progression. I got to 19 kills. Would have been cool with some global ranking for it of course, or at least personal high score.
That one actually had to kill the archers were a bit surprising first time I failed to do that, though it makes great sense from the difficulty perspective. It would help with some animation of the archer whipping the character over the head as he falls down. To make it more logical.
One thing I would urge you to fix too would be to either automatically with a bit of delay just restart the game upon death or have either of the two buttons used to play also allow to retry. I find it critical in these types of fast play-fail-retry type of games to minimize the effort and time between plays. Don't let the player escape wanting to just play one more time. In general a very solid made entry.
Interesting entry. I can imagine the speed increasing faster and faster and then with accurate controls you try get more and more points. Well done entry.

Good job!
Maybe sound effects are a little too loud compared to the music.
Really great game! Love the mechanics and use of theme! 5/5
High score: distance 446, plunder 4200, kills 31
