[INFO]

This is game was created from scratch in 42 hours by 2 persons of which only one was able to really work on it.
We continue the development to the point it's finished with some bosses and more stuff so give a lot of feedback(good AND BAD!!!) and maybe you will be a proud winner of a character or weapon or upgrade dedicated to you! P.S.: The quit button was made for the desktop version so the browser player crashes on it! ^^

P.S.: There is an ORIGINAL and an UPDATED version at the links. The original version was the game we originally submitted to the end of the jam with some bugfixes. The updated version is the version we are continuing development on.
Enjoy 👇

[PLOT]

Once upon a time the world was normal, everybody lived their lifes as normal as in our world but than a young magician learned how to controll the time and stole all of the lifetime of the people surrounding him and gave it to himself.
This made him immortal to aging and with that he could kill anybody by just stealing their remaining lifetime.
Since then the currency changed from gold to lifetime so the richest become immortal while the young folk gives their lifetime away to survive.

But after 500 years of suppression and slavery a band of young heroes set themselves the goal to otherthrow the necromancer of lifetime to free the world of his greedy hands.

[What will be done next?]

> We will work on the AI because this one is just doing it's job to attack and kill the player... Most of the time. So we will improve it!

> We'll add bossfights and a story so you have a goal.

> We'll work on more and better graphics

You realize it's a alpha game.
And After Wave 2 you cant shut please fix it.

Solid work for a (almost) single man team. Good art, fun gameplay. I love the little _swoosh_ effects on the melee weapons. There appears to be a broken upgrade in the shop. It just shows a white square and you can't buy it. Otherwise, great work!

@gronther That's the placeholder because there are no upgrades remaining. I am working on more but I had to do them in last minute.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! :)

Really solid game play and I love the graphics. Its a bit hard though. I was never able to get past the start of level 2, I just got surrounded on start. Maybe making the game easier in the beginning so I can learn the controls better or at least keeping so many enemies away from the spawn would be better. Either way, great job! PS: The graphics are great and its one of the better looking games I've played in the jam so far.

Really smooth gameplay and cool graphics. But its hard to beat the game as all enemies are following you directly :D But its really cool game.

@neowhoru hehe thx for the "P.S."! :smile:
That is a pretty good idea with the increasing difficulty.

Thank you a lot for the feeedback mate! :v:

@neowhoru thx! Yes the game is very hard because of the AI.
Wanted to work on it earlier but the time ran out because I had to do all of the art myself when my artist wasn't able to give me the stuff I needed.

The enemies often surround you and hug you to death... SO YES I will work on that! ^^

Thx for the feedback! :smiley:

Have much fun playing this game, P.S. Geralt is OP, but still very overpowered AI....but still fun to play :D

graphics etc. are also cool enough

Good work!
It is fun but the start is too fast, I die instantly at the begin.
I find that last character is the only one to be useful because the distant enemy are not reachable.
Add a new environment, because it's always the same (I manage to access only level 4 ^^)

Narrenschlagauthor30 Apr 2019, 20:37
@rancoud fixed the start and made the other classes a lot more balanced!

Played it on stream

Nice game! It would be better with some fast music ^^

Did you make the SFX by blowing into the mic? The game felt a bit repetitive, but fun for a bit. I didn't like having to click the scroll wheel in, because on the webpage, it caused it to scroll.

Nice game ^^ Very fun to play, great gameplay. It can be better with a nice music ^^
I enjoy playing it.

Not very innovative (many game have the same "trade HP for powerup" but the theme was bad and I do the same thing ^^)

This game has some really great additions, such as the arrow pointing towards the last enemy and different characters that all are unique. The gameplay is fine and quite challenging, but the archers are annoying since they move just as fast away from you as you walk towards them. Other than that, graphics are nice. Well done!

Take the lettuce boots! They are countering them.

Thanks for the feedback mate! :D

@benburgh Thank you a lot! :D
Yes we are continuing the development on it!
Have you played the game after the giant update or before? :P

Really satisfying combat and I like the character select feature. The dungeons were also well made! Overall, a really fun game!
Narrenschlag
Narrenschlagauthor2 May 2019, 16:52
@benburgh Give it a new try, we updated it and gave it a new map. Take a look at it :P
Faithcaio2 May 2019, 18:08
Solid game. Kiting with ranged weapons seems to work too good.

Wow! Nice work. Really liked the fighting system and the variations of weapons. The game could use some polish around the edges, but all in all, it's fun to play.

Good job with game, I didn't understand the plot from the gameplay but maybe that's because of the time pressure, hopefully you guys can make it make more sense as the plot sounded super fun (:
Narrenschlag
Narrenschlagauthor2 May 2019, 21:06
@kylazaur Thx! :smile:
Yeah wanted to embed it into the game but it had a low priority so we'll add it with the first bosses.
