This game is hard! Can you avoid enemy fire somehow?

Yes! It was intended to shoot only in straight line but: time.
You can lurk from behind and time your fireball with your skelletons attacks for a deadly ambush! :)

I can't seem to get past the first enemy. You can hit him once with a fireball, but he just turns around and kills you?

#Sean did you rise the skeleton right at the start? You need to rise at least one skeleton to help you ambush the enemy and start your super army!

Needs polish, and was unbalanced. I don't see how the theme fits in either.

#TheCain totally agree. The theme,subtle: change the form of the poor bodies by removing the flesh, keep the rest.

Reaaally too easy when you resurect everyone like me but lots of fun when you see your army moving and crashing into humans !

Very pleasant to look.
I felt it difficult to move and to aim.
At some point you have to much skeletons that you can't move properly by the map.
Anyway its a good game.

Congratulations.

Ok, I didn't realize there were ash piles already in the area when it starts.

Having played through it properly, I agree with most of the other comments. The combat feels really unbalanced because you can just overwhelm the enemies, and once you've got a huge army, it's tough to move around.

Very good art and design, I have kill all the enemies with my skeleton horde and it was fun! hehehe.

The problem is when you have a lot of skeletons... the game is too easy. Fun but easy.

Congratulations

El concepto es bastante bueno pero creo que esta un poco desbalanceado. Like

Are you supposed to get 70 minions? Great game! Its a fantastic concept for a game and I really enjoyed it!

#redwizard: Yes, skelletons obstructing Lich steps is the main bug we are trying to fix.

#midgard: what browser are you using?

#seveca95
#Davidkanc
#sean
Yes, we need to fix a couple things before getting to balance the game progresison.
#djfariel Yes, you are supposed to build a really huge army :D

Nice game, reminds me of Diablo's necromancer. A little too easy when you have a lot of skeletons. Nice work, the art looks great.

Thank you for playing our game :D

When I first saw the first picture I though I was seeing star wars game and I was like damnnn. But when I actually played it I was really impressed. Really liked the graphics and music. A multiplayer version maybe? BTW really hard.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

#Vidsneeze Yes! I love you recognized it. We had some problems with the balance we are trying to solve, hopefully soon.

#Marmpa A multiplayer version would for sure be awesome, and lots of work, we will consider it!

#Freank there you go! Thanks for choosing our game for your video, thats super nice from you guys :)
