The music was kinda haunting and creepy, I really liked it! The disappearing \/ reappearing levels in the level select was a little strange, and it wasn't super clear what the specific goals per level were unless I just overlooked something. Overall the gameplay was really fun and I'd definitely play again if more content was added. Great work!"},{"author_name":"Supernovadx","author_uid":"49333","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:57am","epoch":1429591920,"text":"Funny Game, Has a couple of good game modes. Super complete.

But the experience doubling as a tool for stronger attacks made for a neat little game.

Moving while attacking is also desirable. Both of those elements would significantly improve the dynamic of this minigame.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, It would be better to have clearly stated goals.

Find crowded locations on your radar and enjoy hitting people. There are 4 levels in total. Might add more on a post compo version.\r\n\r\nHow to play:\r\nUse the left and right arrow keys to move\r\nQ to attack\r\nW to special attack (costs 75 xp)\r\nE to towel vortex (costs 250 xp)\r\nESCAPE to go back (only while in a menu)\r\n\r\nThere are different goals in each level. Some require you to fill up the xp bar, destroy all the enemies or survive the time. All they have in common is that you must hit as many enemies as you can. \r\n\r\nProgramming language : Java\r\nIDE : Eclipse\r\nImages : PaintDotNet\r\nAudio : BFXR, FruityLoops\r\n\r\nI really had fun making this game and i hope you have as well playing in!\r\n\r\nChange Log:\r\n-v1.1 Made help menu appear before you play\r\n-v1.2 Added objective indicator on each level\r\n-v1.3 Added information panel on the selection level","title":"Towel Boy"}
