The Old Ones told of the time that the emerald comet would fall, bringing with it a terrible darkness. Now you stand between the evil and your home village. Raise the Guardians and destroy the evil before it grows too strong!
Controls ----- LMB or Z: Plant a seed RMB or X: Dash towards the mouse
Hints ----- - Planting a seed costs a full energy bar - Dashing costs a small amount of energy - Totems heal you and replenish your energy bar
Theme ----- I chose to target both themes. Growing appears twice in this game, firstly with the demon comet which grows as you fight it and secondly with the seeds that you plant which (strangely) grow into objects that are not plants... The two button controls are slightly supplemented by the mouse position and I also use other buttons for things such as skipping menus and exiting the game.
Hey batmanasb! I'm really sorry to hear that... I didn't know. Is the webplayer version usable for you? Do you know if there are any work arounds that I can implement for the mouse issue?
Great graphics, nice mood setting music. I liked how the ground would open up beneath you, helped balance the game keeps player moving. Feel like the increase in difficulty was big, but not impossible. Great job.
That was good fun! I loved the different stages of intensity! I didn't notice my dash depleted my Seeds bar, at first.
Loved the little cracks of doom that would go after me, stopped me from using cover too much. Well designed, well balanced with great artwork!
If there's anything to improve, it would be a little outro, which tells the player that he has defeated winter and that things are alright with the world again or somesuch.
This is a really interesting and well designed idea, every time i thought i found a way to take advantage of the system the boss would do something to keep me on my toes. Reminded me of Titan Souls in a way, challenging but fun. Great work!
Fantastic job! Gorgeous art, nice introduction, and great job building up the tension as the game progressed!
One suggestion with a little known Unity trick: when you make your web build, set the player settings -> desktop resolution to 9999x9999. Doing so will cause going fullscreen in the web build to actually use the PC's native resolution instead of just keeping it the same and stretching the image. On a game as pretty as this, it's a shame to not get it as crisp as it should be!
Really well made game with great graphics! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/G4-JCtlxKuU
Great entry, I especially like the graphics. You managed to create a very atmospheric game, it's nice to explore it and to find out how to destroy the evil.
very clean graphics with nice shadow effect, and tense music, which made for some interesting atmosphere, i was expecting more levels when it faded out to play again or quit. The game is like a traditional boss fight, well done!
I think i'd like to move with arrow keys rather than towards mouse - i know it fulfills 2 button controls, but if you go on I think that'd be worth it.
I loved the graphics (both the boss and the Guardians looked incredible!). The game itself was fun as well, I really liked the way that the theme was implemented in the game! Also the level of polish with the added screen shake at just the right times made the game much more immersive and fun to play.
I love your game, great job. I would like to take this opportunity to ask a favor. You already rated my game, but I was not allowed "innovation rating." Please could you assess this item now? Take the opportunity to play with some corrections. Very thanks:http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=36629
Really fun and really invitational I had a blast playing this game. I beat the boss my first try but it wasn't easy, it was a great challenge which I liked a lot! Also I love the way you took both themes and implemented it differently.
Really nice game! Almost got bored quickly as it seemed so easy, until the game really took off and got harder and harder. Really nice boss fight feel like classic videos games had.
Nice game! Worked fine on Linux (64 bit). It looks pretty good. It got pretty hard in the end, when the thing starts actually aiming at you and there is barely time to plant something. But the progression of difficulty seemed well balanced. Good job!
I liked it - never killed the item in the center. Not sure if I came close or not. I did enjoy the mechanic of being able to use two buttons and to grow. Very nice audio and graphics were cool! :)

Great work!
the movement felt very good, and I always felt "in control" of my character, which is important for this type of game.
the challenge was there without feeling unfair, short and sweet, I loved it, nicely done! :)

I was a bit disapointed by the end, as you started a story at the beginning of your game. It could have been cool to have a "happy ending".

The second stage was pretty tough. The thing aims right for me every time. I must of missed some strategy!
Small hint: X and Z are not next to each other on many keyboard layouts, see discussion here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/2015/04/24/why-z-is-a-bad-action-key/
In your game, it was acceptable, because these two keys were the only ones, just as a hint for the feature :-)
