Consider making weapons low saturation and enemies high saturation, or colour coding them (ie weapons green, enemies red)."},{"author_name":"HeffJoker","author_uid":"7726","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 11:24am","epoch":1429701540,"text":"Thanks for playing Liam! I've since fixed the web link... it should now direct to a Unity Web Player.\r\rUnfortunately, my teammate and I are programmers by trade, so we put the art direction off until the last minute. :-\/ I'll be sure to keep your suggestion in mind for the future.

You guys got a lot more in here than I thought at first glance. I liked the different weapon variations, and durability, and that you could use more than one at a time. Could've used some combat sound fx, or some visual cue for hitting the enemies, like if they flashed like you do when you get hit. Fun game, nicely done :)"},{"author_name":"Archonthewizard","author_uid":"52352","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 1:14am","epoch":1429924140,"text":"Fun game!

There was little explanation of a few weapons so some of the less intuitive ones were hard to grasp. (Pebble of bouldering, for instance). Couldn't tell what was throwable or not.\r\rWished there was more in the line of a defense, and I would tweak the gamepad controls so that right stick turns the gladiator, rather than aims him (if that makes sense).\r\rAll in all though, a pretty good entry."},{"author_name":"Multiplexor","author_uid":"50012","time":"May 2, 2015 @ 12:16am","epoch":1430525460,"text":"I like the concept of gladiating with any weapon! And there's a lot of variety (I like the dualwielding earsticks). To improve the game maybe you could give more impact to the hits (more special effects) or make the balls a bit smarter. Oh, and there's an option when exporting to Web unity to not display the unity help when you click the secondary button in the mouse (Otherwise it gets a bit annoying)\r\rKeep up the good work :D"},{"author_name":"crazya02","author_uid":"51023","time":"May 2, 2015 @ 2:31am","epoch":1430533560,"text":"Fun stuff!

Would love to see it as like, scrappy kids in a junk yard, and with more normal props. At the moment it's a little fantastical, which isn't terrible, but a giant q-tip, tiny ruler, etc. kind of take me out of the theme a bit.\r\rOverall fun, could use a graphical boost to really bring home the theme though :)"}],"images":["ld32\/7726-fa7817e64f2b4554ccedd00a6fc920c7.jpg","ld32\/7726-9454b1e9024898bb45c77fd3e784d778.jpg","ld32\/7726-593e303c2271608390b5ede59de3ffa4.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dustinrheffron.com\/Games\/LD32\/JunkyardGladiators.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=0By5qHpIU0TK6blJvbjNBd2cwemc&authuser=0","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=0By5qHpIU0TK6QnM0Um1XWEhUalU&authuser=0","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0By5qHpIU0TK6TDY1RUJ3Z09nSDA\/view?usp=sharing https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0By5qHpIU0TK6blJvbjNBd2cwemc\/view?usp=sharing https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/0By5qHpIU0TK6QnM0Um1XWEhUalU\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/HeffJoker\/JunkYardGladiators","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"10282","g_author":"7726","g_event":"LD32","g_eventkey":"27","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"10316","g_title":"Junk Yard Gladiators","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"794","g_commentcount":"9","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/7726-shot0-1429580756.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/7726-shot1-1429580756.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/7726-shot2-1429580756.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Junk Yard Gladiators is a top-down arena-based gladiator sim made by a team of two. You are an unfortunate chap who wakes up in the middle of a weird arena. You must survive infinite waves of small colorful dots or perish! But fear not, you are being bombarded with all manner of strange, albeit useful, weapons - such as The Gobbler and the d20 Grenade. How many waves can you survive and how high of a score can you achieve? \r\n\r\nEnjoy!\r\n\r\nTeam:\r\n Dustin Heffron\r\n Mario Halkyer\r\n\r\nControls: \r\n Move - w\/A\/S\/D OR Left Thumbstick OR Arrow keys\r\n Left Hand - Left Mouse OR Left Trigger\r\n Right Hand - Right Mouse OR Right Trigger\r\n Drop Left Weapon - Left Control OR Left Bumper\r\n Drop Right Weapon - Spacebar OR Right Bumper\r\n Pause - Escape Key OR Start\r\n\r\n\r\nUPDATE: \r\n - WebGL version uploaded. The gamepad support for this does not work. It is also recommended to play in full screen if possible.\r\n - Credits screen fixed.\r\n - Left-handed support added for movement (we believe in you lefties!!)\r\n\r\nUPDATE 2: There are some issues with the server for the WebGL version. I'm removing it for now and putting it up later when things are fixed.","title":"Junk Yard Gladiators"}
