Very good! The graphics make me think of Jumling Flash from PSX for some reason (Not a bad thing). Fun game :)

I figured out the problem these creatures are having -- they need arms. It's no wonder they got slaughtered.

The game is amusing, but kind of difficult even once I figured out to hold the left arrow down to try to autotarget. I found a bug twice where if you get to the shrine, then leave it, then die (in the south part of the level), the down arrow doesn't work when you go back to the shrine and get the eyebrows again.

Okay, this is great. I love how the first guy just drops dead with blood shooting out. Good controls, funny concept, and the game reminds me of the opening of half life 1 for some reason.

So creepy without arms! I liked it, pace was pretty good and fit the story well. I think it broke after I died the first time (loved the slowmo death btw). The AI stopped chasing me after I died the first time and I wasn't able to switch between worlds. I think I died in the other world if that helps.

Mali, that helps a lot. I fixed the game breaking bug (We are allowed to fix game breakers after submission). For the record the game thought you were still in the other world when respawning, so the enemies could not see you.

Question: Does the web player work for anyone else?

Never fought with eyebrows before. Nice game. The humanoids were really funny looking with a silly gate. I might have opted for making the controls a little easier, e.g. auto-target closest one. Else a nice entry.

@StrideWide: the web player worked for me. Nice game, I liked the cut-scenes and sounds ;) Autotargeting feels a bit weird - perhaps the keyboard controls could be placed differently.

Nice game, just too hard for me ;).. Maybe I should get those eyebrows to be good in this game.

That was super weird. I laughed out loud as I collected the eyebrows. Great work!

Great sounds effects, loads of silly, love the wide stride. Attacking seemed a little difficult at times.

This is by far my favorite entry I've played so far. :D I absolutely LOVE the idea of the Ancient Eyebrows, and the game itself just looks silly, in a good way. I also liked how you told a story while at the same time teaching the player the nature of the enemy's attack patterns. It's hard to move around and attack, which is kind of frustrating when you're trying to dodge the enemies jumping at you while still getting a hit on them. Over all, very nice game! :D

This was so cool. Never knew beating enemies with your eyebrows would be so fun. :D The audio was really nice, I'm a big fan of orchestral sound effects. ;) Great great great.

This was excellent, really great job! I loved the main character's quirky walk animation and the unique sound effects. Good use of the theme as well.

Hi there. I think maybe needs more clue that you must hunt for them before can fight! Once realised running was the way to go, it got a lot better... I daresay quite a few gave up before that... Love the slowmo on death. Great look and sounds too. Good job!

Love the look of the main character! I included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/bMx3RCVCht0
