I think it was even better due to the fact that I accidentally clicked the link without reading your instructions. Was the mechanics were really intuitive so I managed to pick it up quickly. But then it got so crazy with those enemies haha. Nice work!"},{"author_name":"rukai","author_uid":"50543","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 3:27am","epoch":1429500120,"text":"Great game, I really like the way the umbrella functions as both melee weapon and shield."},{"author_name":"TyrusPeace","author_uid":"5305","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 7:10am","epoch":1429599900,"text":"I like how intuitive yet novel the umbrella mechanics were, but it did seem very hard to master handling such numerous and speedy mobs of enemies with a mere melee umbrella :)."},{"author_name":"mockthebear","author_uid":"16447","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 6:38pm","epoch":1429641180,"text":"loved this game bro c:"},{"author_name":"CJ K","author_uid":"35714","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 6:40pm","epoch":1429641300,"text":"There's a very fun idea here!

I think you should have made the umbrella reflect the projectiles and not just absorb them because the switch between attack and defend is too slow for such a fast paced game. But other than that good job :)"},{"author_name":"Anshul Goyal","author_uid":"18701","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 3:24am","epoch":1429672740,"text":"graphics and animations are really nice!

The difficulty could be tempered, if you want, by reducing the projectiles' speed and rate-of-fire, and increasing the speed of the umbrella (both unfolding and swinging.)

Stop swinging the umbrella in order to use it as a shield.\r\n\r\nThere is no win condition, just see how long you can last.\r\n\r\nSorry that it's hard, I didn't spend enough time on balancing.\r\n\r\nTips: enemies are briefly stunned when they take damage. You can kill the melee enemies without taking damage by attacking while running away from them. It's probably worth taking a single hit in order to take out a ranged enemy faster, since you die by being overrun more often than by taking small amounts of damage many times.\r\n\r\n============================================\r\n\r\nThis is built with Unity's web export. If there are any functionality or performance issues let me know and I can probably make a desktop version or something. I tried embedding, but ended up having scrollbars and some strange behaviour with the iframe not having input focus.\r\n\r\nThe UI and menu are pretty rough, no music..\r\n\r\nIf you manage to live through all of the wave patterns, they repeat but at a higher frequency.","title":"Umbrella Defender"}
