Sad, I can't get it to work. Controls don't seem to be doing anything...either that or this game is seriously esoteric.

You don't have player control until you see the word "BATTLE" and hear the bell.

Not going to rate it since I couldn't do anything in the game, not even move once the bell rang. Resetting the game seriously has to replay the whole title sequence?

I could get it to work (I think) but it was a fairly odd experience. The game took ages to load and then between each wave it also took ages before anything happened, during this time the camera seemed to bob around and alternately look at the wall and then the player for no apparent reason.

Once the level finally started I couldn't understand what the AI was trying to do, except that they seemed to really like walls and firing ornages up into space.

Its pretty impressive that you made a working 3d arena and the camera work with it gliding into the top down perspective was pretty cool, its just a shame that the game seems so stop-start with no real gameplay in between.

MEGA BATTLE CONFUSION ELEVATOR!

AMAZING DRAMATIC CUTSCENES

BRILLIANTLY ANIMATED GNOMES

EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE FOR SUCH A SHORT TIME

Actually really great job. Balanced, fun gameplay, admirable graphics, hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.

I love those roaring voice in mainmenu, ha haa, and the title name shouting out as well, really hilarious :)

Btw, I have to wait for "Battle" text first then controls kick in, at first I might give up.

Not sure what's going on with the camera between the kicking ass moment, but punching on everything is always good :D

Same experience here. The loading/transition screens are really long. I want to play, it looks fun.
