Gate Keeper

Wow! This is an incredible game! I have no criticisms but I will be taking notes!

Interesting idea. Nice graphics. Nice to play. :thumbsup:

Good game. Like the concept of stacking boxes and traps! The game not only feels finished, but plays that way too!
Only one problem was to me to reach the archer.

I dig the graphics, interesting concept! Its easy to get into but hard to master, especially when the gargoyles appear.

great game, nice graphics, good sound, I had some trouble with the archers though, often i had no way to get to them

oh no, at first i felt really smart trapping one of the demons, but then it started breaking a hole in one corner of my fence :sob:
very good entry :)

Nice graphics, music(Adding chiptone to my toolbox right now!) sound effects and concept!

The imps shooting at me from above are a pain :smile:

Really cool and fun concept. Feels like Tetris combined with a platformer and survival action game thing, and it somehow works really well. The art style is also great.

Also the boxes where the real enemies all along.

(Only really negative I had was that the hitboxes seem slightly off)

Interesting concept

I love this concept! Very good job!
Visual and sound creates a great mood!

Another strong entry. As usual :) Congratulations!

Solid fun and replayable.

This was fun! When I saw your post talking about a difficult game I knew I had to play it, I made a difficult one too and I felt like I needed a taste of my own medicine. The visuals are really clear, it's simple to understand what things are what they do. The gameplay is fun, and when I figured out you could jump around and on top of boxes floating down, timing those jumps and climbing a tower to hit midair opponents felt great. Similarly I loved the variety of components, waves actually brought new enemies and items, instead of just more of the same. My only main complaint is that the main character feels very heavy, I feel some of the game feel could be improved if you were a bit lighter and your sword slashed a bit wider, just making it a bit faster and more action-y. That and the music felt a bit out of place, nice, but out of place. Overall this was fun, I loved the idea, and I loved the way you could really figure out new ways to tackle harder enemies! Nice Work

Really solid and well polished game! I found it both challenging but also felt like I was improving as I played. The retro style graphics work well for this, I felt like I was in an arcade. I also quite liked the audio, as I felt it, along with the dark atmosphere set a nice tone. Overall I'd say this was very fun.

You really managed to pack in a good number of features, I was surprised with each wave.

As for improvements, I honestly can't think of any. The game stands very well on it's own. Very good job!

This is really clever, and the different mechanics work very well together. Good job!

I got stuck on Wave 4 -- I couldn't get high enough, and the little flying imp kept destroying the box tower that I was trying to build up to get to him. Some way to deflect arrows would have been handy.

I might also have gotten lucky, but it seemed like once a few crates started to build up things got quite a bit easier (because the enemies couldn't reach or damage the gate). Maybe punishing the player for letting things build up too high, or clearing rows Tetris-style would help?

Holy heck is this hard. It would be nice if bombs slid off either to the left or right space you were in, rather than crushing you. But it's true what others have said; the boxes are deadly!

Really cool game. I thought the controls and combat were perfect

Love the movements and the triple jump. Really inovative and different from what I have seen so far!

How can kill the the deamon that shoots arrow?

@sdelay you have to jump off the falling boxes, you can see an example here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1446368728

:) Very fun! I really like the different slash pixel art for the different directions. Nice detail!

The different enemies and blocks are all really great. I love how each wave feels different. The difficulty and pacing is great. I like that there are really a lot of things dropping constantly, but it's still not too many.

Good music and sounds!

:o I didn't realize you could double jump or wall jump until I watched that video! (Though I do now see that clearly written in the description, oops!)

I really like how the background track goes with the art and feel. Gameplay was cool as well. I had a hard time killing the archer because it kept destroying all of the boxes that fell around me. Got it eventually though! Good job.

Really fun game. The graphics are amazing. The gameplay is really nice. I couldn't beat the boss at the fourth wave though. I guess you need to stack enough boxes but I couldn't do it :D
I love the music too, it really goes well with the mood of the game.

Good job!

Nice, polished game. Great graphics and quite challenging gameplay. My only gripe is clicking and selecting things outside the game window when aiming, causing frustration. But I'm pretty sure that's on me.

I hate the flying guy.

I kept getting squashed, but couldn't squash the demons in revenge for my stupid positioning.
Overall I liked this game, it was fun, the pace was good, and the new element in each wave was cool.

Really fun and engaging, the combination of tetris and tower defense really works! The art looks good and the theme implementation is on point, good job!

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!

Really cool concept! I didnt make it past wave 4 but it was alot of fun :)

This is very cool, the only thing that took a bit of the fun is that the wave with two archers get way too hard if you don't have enough boxes to reach them - even the strategy of jumping on the falling boxes is hard to apply when there are twice the arrows flying around and breaking them. I'll have to keep playing later to see how it ends (in my best run I died on wave 8)
