The longer you wait to attack the more damage you do. If both players just spam the buttons it takes a long time to play, but if you wait your attacks become much more effective. I probably should have made the attack counter increase faster over time so that players would have more of a reason to wait.\r<br\/>Either way, definitely takes two players to work."},{"author_name":"robertcalvert","author_uid":"20724","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 3:18pm","epoch":1367248380,"text":"This is a great 2 player game, I like the idea of waiting each other out to build up the (Advanced) attack."},{"author_name":"Andy Go","author_uid":"14759","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 4:02pm","epoch":1367251020,"text":"Playing by myself made it hard to have fun but Potatoes made it."},{"author_name":"ashdnazg","author_uid":"21623","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 1:54pm","epoch":1367329740,"text":"20 points for advanced combat :)"},{"author_name":"JustinMullin","author_uid":"3128","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 1:55pm","epoch":1367329800,"text":"Can't rate audio (no speakers) Overall, the graphics are nice, but I felt the game play too simplistic, and found the game resetting often.

Agree with others that a little sword animation would be nice. Can't say I've ever seen this type of combat mechanic before - great idea if it's original, and thanks for exposing me to it if it's not :)"},{"author_name":"Yngar","author_uid":"15497","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 1:34am","epoch":1367371740,"text":"Thanks for the comments! \r<br\/>@goerp, my previous entries are just as dumb. Also I am surprised people like the music, I did that in like 15 minutes.
