The King's spin by Mironix

made by Mironix for LD27 (JAM)

You are a prisoner of the evil king, thrown to the dungeons with many goblins. You find a friend. But as you know friends come and go. You are left alone live 10s from the thriving hordes of goblins. If you live you do an outstanding athleatic combo straight to the kings chair, kill the evil king and marry his splendid daughter.

Long Live The new king!

The mac version is not working D: (mountain lion)

27. Aug 2013 · 22:51 UTC

sorry for that, we'll throw it out, did not have a mac tester at this Dare :)

28. Aug 2013 · 00:39 UTC

Very nice graphics. Looks really cool, however I died all the time, could not jump up the stairs?

28. Aug 2013 · 00:39 UTC

Looking forward to the changes after LD =D

28. Aug 2013 · 01:16 UTC

No you cannot jump, but when a goblin touches you - game over - try to run out from them for 10s, i know it's not easy - it'll get worse. The winning statement works :)

28. Aug 2013 · 01:18 UTC

Incomming weekend will bring new things, i'll post a post ludumdare upload here and there.

Loved the voiceover, but did not really "get it" ? I ran around for quite a long time, but nothing happened, only more goblins :D

28. Aug 2013 · 13:49 UTC

check back after the weekend - the idea outgrown ludum dare. This is just a sneak peak of what's comming. Basically here you just need to run away from goblins for 10s.

28. Aug 2013 · 14:15 UTC

Ah that explains it! Okay :)

28. Aug 2013 · 14:26 UTC

very nice graphics and sound, hard game tho

28. Aug 2013 · 14:44 UTC

Excellent idea, very creative! Cool graphics! Keep at it and good job! :)

28. Aug 2013 · 15:37 UTC

Nice Game! Awesome graphics! I like it!

28. Aug 2013 · 17:26 UTC

Welp, there certainly was some nice lightmapping :)

28. Aug 2013 · 18:33 UTC

I'm dead agter a few secounds ... playing it on laptop without mouse :( But I like the style of the characters ;)

28. Aug 2013 · 18:52 UTC

unfortunately you need mouse, later on we'll add controller support, it was buggy before the release so we decided to not include it. you were touched by a goblin.

28. Aug 2013 · 18:55 UTC

All the positive feedback is just fantastic. Thank you.

28. Aug 2013 · 21:20 UTC

Update 0.1 Alpha available

28. Aug 2013 · 22:21 UTC

Hi ! I don't know if its normal, but I was not able to shoot or attack with the sword. Also, right after jumping, the character animation get stuck in a crouch position for a few seconds(I'm still able to move) and then get back to normal.

It's a very interesting concept, love the jokes ;) I hope you will continue this!

28. Aug 2013 · 22:23 UTC

the entire team is still working :) today i've posted small fixes, read the post there's a link

28. Aug 2013 · 22:55 UTC

Didn't understand how to shoot enemies. But looks great! Well done.

28. Aug 2013 · 23:11 UTC

ummmm -- cant shoot, cant jump -- what can i do?

29. Aug 2013 · 00:43 UTC

Not even really a game right now, you just run. I liked the audio and graphics though, next ludum dare focus more on gameplay than modeling ;)

29. Aug 2013 · 06:20 UTC

This one has the potential to be a lot of fun, looking forward to the updates!

29. Aug 2013 · 14:40 UTC

very fun :D

29. Aug 2013 · 16:22 UTC

Very very nice graphics. Quite fun little game (: congrats

29. Aug 2013 · 17:13 UTC

good job

29. Aug 2013 · 17:24 UTC

Frankly could barely play it... what was supposed to be going on?

29. Aug 2013 · 17:30 UTC

@Venturelli contact me on skype: mironix.gaming i would love to know more about how the game ran for you :) The target is run away from goblins for 10s, later on i release a version where you kill them.

29. Aug 2013 · 17:33 UTC

also as a side note i'm in the middle of doing a intro video

29. Aug 2013 · 23:10 UTC

Please try to think that not everyone uses a qwerty keyboard...

29. Aug 2013 · 23:11 UTC

too early stage to think about that dear @H-Bomb - but i'll note it and try to add key mappings thru the weekend.

Cool-looking graphics. The Compo version is pretty buggy and your only choice is whether you stay there and accept immediate death or you run in circles around the map and accept your death later.

The Post Compo version is pretty much the same (but now I can jump) but rewards me with a "You win" if I go with the second plan and survive a few secs.

The idea looks good though and as I said before the graphics are actually quite good. I'd love to see this game finished and polished!

30. Aug 2013 · 08:48 UTC

@ConflictiveLabs very good constructive critic, this is a rare thing those days - we will do our best to fulfill Your expectations.

30. Aug 2013 · 19:06 UTC

Controls of the character were very sluggish and the assets from Unity weren't properly bound to the skeleton. My character got stuck in a crouch and couldn't move. :( Did kinda wonder if you even need them?

The UI/HUD didn't fit the game style at all, which is a shame as the intro screen was nice, had some great colour theming.

30. Aug 2013 · 21:05 UTC

@Almax27 still crunching the nummbers on that. Character is a placeholder for a character that didn't get done during the ludum dare. ui/hud will fit the style when we're finished with the product.

30. Aug 2013 · 21:05 UTC

@Almax27 thank you for checking us out and beeing constructive in your critic.

30. Aug 2013 · 23:35 UTC

Damn goblins! Too many! Too fast! Cool entry. Loved the voice over. The controls were a little weird though.

31. Aug 2013 · 02:49 UTC

I think next time you do a Jam, you should put your clearly capable 2D artist to better use than making a menu. Avoid a massive scope super kickass 3D game next time, and focus on getting fun, polished game play in the 72 hours.

31. Aug 2013 · 06:58 UTC

Thank you for the concern @Broxxar but we'll make what we'll feel like doing :)

31. Aug 2013 · 07:03 UTC

That's what's PolishRAD is about - listening to the teams voice.

02. Sep 2013 · 02:49 UTC

I don't mean to be mean when I say this.

I actually had fun running around picking out the problems with the game. Every game has problems, it's fun to see the stage in which everything is still being worked out. It reminds me of testing my own projects.

I really liked the voice over work. Keeping going with it i'm interested to see what the next builds are like.

02. Sep 2013 · 07:27 UTC

Today or early tomorrow there will be 0.2 Alpha, more voice overs, a tad better movement, web player and the most important - the goblins die!

05. Sep 2013 · 01:06 UTC

The King's Sping Version 0.2 Alpha avaliable: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2013/08/28/polishrad-post-ludum-dare-bugfixes-for-the-kings-spin/

05. Sep 2013 · 17:00 UTC

I really like the goblin graphics... But couldn't really play, very confusing without the animation/sound feedbacks for the shooting

05. Sep 2013 · 17:04 UTC

What's Your system @Antidote, there is a sound feedback for shooting in version 0.2 Alpha.

06. Sep 2013 · 15:31 UTC

There are some problems with the colliders and gravity. As the player carries weapons, I assumed the player could fight; as it's not the case, I would suggest removing that from the avatar.
Gameplay is a little confusing, but not so hard I think, maybe and brief indication at the beggining would have helped.
Voice over was interesting, and art was ok, the overall style make this somehow enjoyable in a totally funny way.

07. Sep 2013 · 08:40 UTC

The models look really nice, and the voice-over is pretty cool. The controls felt a little sluggish, though.

07. Sep 2013 · 20:14 UTC

Really cool idea, I like the fixes that you're putting into the post-compo version. Definitely looking forward to seeing how this evolves over time.

17. Sep 2013 · 10:13 UTC
