Oh No My Earl by olkeencole

[raw]
made by olkeencole for LD25 (JAM)
We had high ambitions, which probably kept the game overly complicated. We had to jettison a lot of features, but we're still proud of the end product.

You are Earl of Large bent on destroying the world. With the Time Disruptor completed, now you must charge it up. But the Heroine Mop Soppings has heard of your dastardly plans and intends to raid your clocktower hideout. Happily, no hero can resist smashing a pot. Delay Mop Soppings with your minions and alluring pottery long enough for the Time Disruptor to charge and the world will be yours!

Keep Mop Soppings from reaching the top of the tower. You have 4 minute until the Time Disruptor is fully charged.

You have around 20 seconds before Mop appears on the first floor.

Use pots to keep Mop occupied. To delay her even longer, summon a Slime minion.

It's unfitting for the final boss to appear before the final level. So when Mop Soppings appear on the same level as you, you will instantly teleport to the level above.


Controls:
WASD: Movement
Space: Smash an unwanted pot
Tab: Toggle Hero Camera
M: Floor Elevator menu

**In the lower left corner, you can click on either the pot or slime icon to aid you in your maniacal meddlings.

I love the graphics and what you're going for here, but the game seems really glitchy. I often found myself on floors where the ceiling would obstruct my vision, also it was hard to determine where exactly your target is since they can be above or below you, yet there is no indication of that

No pots appeared for me. I effectively couldn't do anything except wait for the hero to climb the stairs.

I really like the graphics, they remind me of paper mario style, i'm interested on how you did it. But i had the same problem as the guy up here, there were no pots and i could only climb

I liked the art style, thought the design could be worked on. Loved the sound. At one point I got stuck in my pot, so that wasn't fun, but otherwise good job!

I loved the concept, the art, and the "blah blah blah" talk. But the gameplay just didn't work for me: no pots, and I never figured out a) my goal and b) what I was supposed to do. Gameplay first! =)

Web version doesn't work, so downloaded the Windows version. The game is very glitchy, but the art style is really, really slick.
