I like idea, but a little tutorial would be nice. However it's a good game. Art by Onyx ?

Although it took me about 2 minutes to figure out an un-losable situation, it's awesome just watching those soldiers run to their deaths! Muahahaha!

Great one! congratulations, very funny and very well done :) on the top!

One question: how good is Unity for 2d games? do you use any special library? I'm tempted to try, but as it is very 3d oriented, I'm not quite sure..

@Gornova Yes, they are Onyx sprites. I intend to use them mainly as placeholders until I finish the gameplay.

@LogiQ121 I'm still adding features to balance the game :) Now it's too easy.

@feiss Unity3D can work great for 2D, you just need to use an Orthographic camera and just don't use the Z axis for physics. I didn't use any plugin.

Very fun! Although adding a bunch of pits just makes it easy.

The idea is not new but well done and the art fits very well. It get a little bit too fast and i see no chance of winning the game. A counter to break a given time would be good!

Good, but really easy as all you need todo is make heaps of holes in the ground

Awesome! I feel like I built the perfect defense.. 1500 coins and counting, 3 hearts on dragon still!

Just dig lots of holes and done: almost invincible. Besides that, the game is really cool

Pretty fun, but as I mentioned in one of your posts ( that you later deleted? ), you shouldn't update the game after submission and if you do, at least keep a link to the original version of the game

@Flai sorry, it was my first Ludum Dare and I got too pumped up by my game. Also, I started developing it on Saturday night (so technically I've spent less than 72h making it..) but anyway you are right. I won't touch it anymore.

@Kuothe No problem and congrats for your first LD :) ! But I hope that you understand that it's somewhat unfair for others if someone can continue developing their game after deadline, even if they started a bit later than others.

Man, you should reupload the original version. People are going to rate your game for the updates you did AFTER the deadline, and that's no fair :(

Hi there! The version published in this page is the oldest version I've got in my PC.

The more actual version (and the newer to come) will be stored here: http://apps.ninja-coders.com/BossLevel/PostLudum/BossLevel.html

Also, I just bought some iOS/Android licenses for Unity to publish it on the App Store / Google Play in the following month (with new homemade assets and new content).

Thanks!

Hey man ! Do you steal some graphics ? Your soldier absolutely looks like the warrior of the game "Realm of the mad god" ! Take a look here (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3unuUE3oBTA/TomgyVIDrdI/AAAAAAAAGJk/GNY1tMh61x0/s640/level%2B20%2Bwarrior.jpg). It's not fair :(

@lotusgame yes, it's the same sprite set. They are called Onyx sprites, and they are Creative Commons for non-commercial use. You can find them here: http://oryxdesignlab.com/sprites/

Ok I didn't know ^^ As i am fond of Realm of the mad gods, i panicked :p From my point of you, the challenge of Ludum Dare is to really create everything from scratch. But i won't bother you, you are in your rights ;)

@lotusgame the focus of ludum dare is to motivate people to create something. It worked for me :) I wanted to focus on gameplay, so I got placeholder art. The next month I'll release a new version with my own assets. Thanks for the interest :)

Really fun - the block and pit placement really make for some interesting decisions. I'd love for the flow of heroes to stop at the end - with an empty pit, my score keeps going up even though I've lost.

Edited the game after the voting started and using premade art assets, this kind of unfair conduct earns a downvote.
