Nice audios too ;)\rI missed being able to move in diagonals (the flying monster can...) and maybe the walls are too sensitive (if hitting it on the side, even if I "push" it, it kills me).\rAlso, maybe a "hit" animation for the monster would be cool.\r\rGood game! :D"},{"author_name":"AWOL","author_uid":"81286","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 12:22am","epoch":1472516220,"text":"I like the graphics.

We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.\r\rCan you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) \rSo we can include also your game in the video ;) \rp.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description."},{"author_name":"HuvaaKoodia","author_uid":"21836","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 10:08am","epoch":1472551380,"text":"The idea is solid and the graphics are ok, but the execution is not quite up to par. Blipi already outlined the major issues. No need to repeat them.\r\rI also agree with PeachTreeOath about special movement actions like rolling. Due to certain level designs and erratic dragon movement patters avoiding death is at times down to luck rather than skill. That dodge roll would be a saving grace in such situations.\r\rGood effort overall."},{"author_name":"friedfishstudios","author_uid":"110227","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 11:47am","epoch":1472557320,"text":"Hey guys, thanks all for the comments. I agree with the issues..decided to make a follow up game with much more elaborated game play. @steph88 Will upload the game tonigth after work ;-)"},{"author_name":"joemid","author_uid":"92338","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 2:30pm","epoch":1472567100,"text":"Love the feel and the concept.

Making sure they're separated by at least a single wall could add some consistency to levels' difficulty.\r\rMore dragon-evading measures proposed above sound great as well. :D"},{"author_name":"kingpirux","author_uid":"46920","time":"Sep 5, 2016 @ 12:22am","epoch":1473034620,"text":"simpple and fun :D i liked the graphs and ambience you have done with sounds and music. \rThere are several glitches in graphics like walls changing direction or the dragon repeating frames, also some weird collision poligons on the exit door. the rest it's ok"},{"author_name":"Linus123xbb","author_uid":"28046","time":"Sep 5, 2016 @ 8:52pm","epoch":1473108420,"text":"This is not alike any other game I have played this ludum dare lol.

The gameplay could use some more polish, but the idea was straight forward enough to be played by anyone. I would first focus on the collision detection. It's a bit frustrating to be killed by a wall or the dragon, when I can see a large space between us. Then if you still had time next you could add more mechanics (ex. buttons and button controlled walls). But for the time you had it was a good work!\r\rPS. I get that a "mechanically enhanced dragon" fits the theme, but the game doesn't really feel (to me) like "Ancient Technology.""}],"images":["ld36\/110227-ec9591354d2f7644db217412a18682e4.jpg","ld36\/110227-01999c2bdf7e2d35e0d4d67db92aecf4.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.friedfishgames.com\/gamez\/Merlins_Dungeon\/","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"1496","g_author":"110227","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"1457","g_title":"Merlins Dungeon","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"14","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\/\/570486\/110227-shot0-1472446816.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/110227-shot1-1472446816.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Who said fighting a mechanical enhanced dragon with bare fists was a good idea?","title":"Merlins Dungeon"}
