The Clocktower by Colorvade

[raw]
made by Colorvade for LD27 (COMPO)
Survive against random events that occur every 10 seconds in a clocktower arena. Rather than the world becoming progressively more difficult, the player's abilities slowly dwindle as their curse grows stronger.

Really nice game! Survived 20 rounds my first try. Player had a bit too much momentum (and weak acceleration) for my tastes though.

That was tricky but actually pretty cool. I lasted 14 rounds. Everything was very smooth and complete - and great graphics/sound.

The graphics are really nice and the game has quite a bit of replayability. This is a really nice use of the theme. It has a good amount of difficulty as well.

Cool art and the sound was really good to, the music was kind of different for this type of game, but it set the mood really well so good job on that. When i realized that each round was random I got an even better impression

Wow, really enjoyed playing this! Game keeps interesting and varied, and more challenging as your powers are taken away. Great polish too!

Nice take on the survival genre. The difficulty escalated in a good way and I loved the clock! It really set a nice surreal mood. Solid game! :)

That was pretty fun. I felt like there could have been bit more various random events, but otherwise this was really nice arcade game.

Nice game. Controls are kinda different than what most games usually have. Took a little bit of time to get used too.

this one is quite dynamic! I really love the set of behaviours you have defined. It is a really nice scheme that you weapons get worse and your enemies stronger as the curse grow up.
One of the best ones I've seen at the moment :)
