Hey wonderful people of the internet,

My name is Kevin Brand, aka SadSmile, and i'm a 17 Year old guy from Germany.
This is my 3rd "Ludum Dare" and i really hope that you enjoy my game.

The game is called "Warlock's Lair" because you are a Warlock (same thing as a wizard) and you are attacked by a group of knights. Your job is it to defend yourself. To do that you have the ability to throw powerful Fireballs at your enemies.

==CONTROLS==

RMB / ALT - Attack Right
LMB / CTRL- Attack Left

If you have the time to spare, i would love it if you would leave a comment with your thoughts on the game and i'm always open for constructive critism.

Enjoy :D

EDITS: - Added "Score Text" in the Game Over Screen.
- A warlock is NOT the same thing as a wizard

makes fun, but you should have implemented a score label at the end, cause i cant see, how good i was compared to, for example, the tries i did before.

Good effort. Art style is neat. Maybe a bit more animation or something when the knights attack you. If you expand the game, it could maybe use something more so you aren't just mashing the two buttons; something to make you think about whether you SHOULDN'T fire.

Thanks for all the comments so far!
@mlepage This was the first time i animated something in my life, so im pretty happy, that i actually managed to get something to move ^^

Cool game, I love the graphics. Maybe, it´s a bit repetitive.

Very fun! I definitely got sucked in when it started getting way harder. It's a little too easy to just button mash, but that's easy to fix! Great work!

Cool game. There was nothing to stop me from just spamming left and right though. Maybe a spell cooldown would be a good thing.

Simple, but lots of fun. The sound and animation makes the fireball impacts feel really satisfying. Definitely worth expanding upon, could see this working really well as a mobile game.

This looks pretty solid - you got the hectic retro feel down well. Deaths are sudden, making it a reflex challenge. I had to go fullscreen to use the RMB with the web player. Also, a warlock and a wizard are not quite the same thing, as D&D, WoW, and Harry Potter have taught us.

Really nice little game! I like the art-style, and the death animation for the knights is brilliant! Keep up the good work :D

I really like the art, especially the lighting on the fireballs. I feel like it would be nice if there was some penalty for missing as right now you can just spam fireballs (maybe he's just a very powerful warlock :p )

Nice game, slightly annoying that right clicking in web player brings up a menu

Got 1,546,450 points :) Most time just fired in advance and didn't see enemies, so my multiplier raised to 100+
