Incredible! Best game I've played so far. Can't believe this was done in 48 hours

Amazing game, wished there were more levels!

As usual, you are truly a master of the ludum dare. Even though I didn't find the concept very innovative at the beginning, you do it so fucking well and the way the paladin explores the dungeon is awesome. Loved the things he says, and the idea of evil orbs and chests.

Wow- deepnight. EVERY Ludum Dare you do is amazing. This is no exception- fun, innovative. Keep up the great work! (and build this thing out... you could totally sell this)

Love the comments! Made me think of this http://theoatmeal.com/comics/online_gaming

I love that you have a button to stop the music (not that the music was bad). The art is great and the humor is fantastic. One of my favorite ones yet.

Best Stragety: Dont stop spawning zombies!!!!!!!!

5/5, not only is this the best game of the LD25, it's also one of the best web games I've seen in a while

It's innovative, the graphics are great, the sounds, the gameplay, everything is done perfectly

I'm proud to be french for once ! :)

Like always, it's not a pretty awesome game, it's a really awesome game : Graphics of hero, mobs are beautiful, reaction of characters are funny, good job !

Amazing !

love your games as always

Another great entry, I really love your graphical style. The way the hero explores the dungeon is really believable, and the swarming of the zombies is brilliant

La barre est placée très haut, félicitation.
Les design est les finitions sont au top.

Juste pour signaler:
- les coffres coutent 10 et font gagner 10. Au premier niveau ca permet de bloquer le heros en haut à gauche en replacant un coffre dans la premiere piece dès qu'il en sort. (mais bon me suis fait poutrer au second niveau)

- Ca lag severe chez moi avec beaucoup de gob/zombie.

Sinon c'est tout bon, merci pour ce jeu.

Perfect..

Amazing !!!!

That game was awesome!

Amazing game!! Please release a full version with more levels! :)

Awesome game! You can tell that this isn't your first flash/sprite based game :)

Woah. This one has it all. Amazing game!

All that was said previously

My favorite game so far. It's amazing.

God! That hero is tough!
Very impressive entry as usual!

Very good game. I want more levels!

OMG this is amazing game! best I've played so far!
Simple but very fun and well done game mechanics.
Graphics and sound are awesome. Great idea. I really LOLed at heroes comments.
5 STARS

Always great graphics! Gameplay could be a bit more strategically.

Loved it, Deepnight! I love what he says :D

Amazing!

"Your minions sucks"... I laughed so hard!
Perfect game, Deepnight!

Amazing as always.

Awesome game, although some of the spawning feels a bit too "spammy" (maybe that's just my way of trying to solve it). Would be awesome being able to place traps or more static things (similar to chests).

Super! This is a very, very good game.

This is pretty awesome, I have no idea how you did this in 48 hours.

Lunch the Zombies!!! nice game!

AMAZING

Brilliant !

Absolutely fantastic! Your visuals are stellar, like always - I absolutely love that "mosaic" aesthetic. Your code's behavior and polish is also really solid here! On top of that, including two working heroes is very impressive. And the text is even funny!

My only legitimate criticism here is that once you understand how the treasure chests work, the orb mechanic becomes kind of irrelevant since you can just chain chests forever. It's nice that the orbs force the hero to explore the whole level, but maybe you could have simplified things by starting the level with a few chests where the orbs would be instead?

Dang, that's good. Deepnight standard of games, eh?

Difficult but rewarding. I was surprised there was a second level (and maybe more?) Graphics are amazing, as usual. I wish I had more tools at my disposal but spawning dudes is satisfying and looks great so it's a minor complaint.

Perfect in every aspect. Bravo!

Really fast furious fun!

This is incredible! I love this one! great idea for the game and such beautifull art!

Awesome game. The humor is great.

Hella fun, congratz man!

That was simply amazing!

Truly amazing for 48 hours solo.

I am loving this. :)

Gah that wizard is annoying! I think this might be my favorite game so far.

Pretty much exactly what this compo is all about. Great work!

Great stuff! I found the hero's comments to be genuinely hurtful- it's MY dungeon, I'm sorry if you think it's a wreck ;n;

great game!

Perfect? Sure. Really fun to play!

Very fun! Liked the art a lot

Great graphics and good aesthetic quality. Albeit flashy I didn't find the gameplay very fun.

I.. wha... how?

Wow... I... I dunno what to say, this is amazing beyond words. It's better than most Jam games. I'm having so much trouble believing this was done in 48 hours by one person! It's very fun, funny, good gameplay, etc. The only issue is lagginess sometimes, but that can't even begin to bring this down for me. 5/5 on everything, and I can say that honestly! I'd be surprised if you didn't win this competition!

And the Hero mocks you! I ended wanting to play more of this!
Sorry if I can't rate more than 5, in every aspect! ;)

Staggering accomplishment for a weekend or a week! Looks and sounds great. I'm curious what engine was used.

great as usual!

Great work, you never disappoint!

Great job! Well polished for a 48-hour game. Reminds me of Dungeons, but I had more fun playing this one :P

I like your games :p

A very accomplished entry. The interpretation of the theme is pretty standard, but the implementation and level of polish for 48 hours is amazing.

Holy Crap! Nicely done!

jesus christ! so polished!

Wow, stunning graphics!

Just awesome!

Great, polished entry as always :)

Full marks for graphics. As usual.

That was really awesome, can't believe it only took 48 hours to make. really fun game...

That was hugely impressive. You should definitely consider fleshing it out with more monster types. Really liked everything about it.

As always, good work on that one.

Very nice but i'd like it if it relied less on number of enemies and more on strategy.

Incredible! iPad version! NOW!

simply amazing

Except some performance problem on my computer, I have no words for this. Totally unbelievable it could be done in just 48 hrs.

5 stars, very very impressive work, congrats!

awesome

Fantaaaastic. Just what this theme was made for.

I agree with all previous posts x10

I demand more levels to play!

Great game

This is one of the best games so far. Graphics are great the sound is awesome aswell and the difficulty is hard enough but not too too hard its just right down the middle.

Best game i've played so far... I'm really impressed. Works perfectly, well balanced.

Wow, great entry! Loved graphics and overall polish.

Sooo amazing. Watching the timelapse is like: "Fuxk, this guy really did all these in 48 hrs!"

Very nice game!

Really addictive, in the 2nd dungeon my only criticism is that while i understand the light region of the hero being bigger it was almost impossible to spawn monsters as there was too little screen space considering walls etc. Great game!

It's near perfection !

Very awesome game man! Love the style, the music, the sounds, the AI is great, player retention is really great! :)

Wow ... how did you do this in only 48 hours? Awesome work, best game so far :D

AWESOME!! I like it too much!!! My only suggestion is set the numeric keys to change the mobs, MMORPG like... Very good, Congratulations!!

What else is there to say? He knows he's good. We know he's good. The game is amazing. It's fun as crap. It looks gorgeous. I just wish there were more levels :p

Niceeeeeeeee !! :D

Graphics pretty sick! Love it. Nice game play.
I feel Knights is kinda strong. It's good thing to start spawning horde of zombies into it.
Well balance as well, as only quantity won't do much damage, they die quick. Nice job.

Excellent! C'est ton meilleur jeu (en tout cas celui que je préfère, pour le ludum dare). Mais c'est vrai qu'a la fin on en redemande ^^ et s'il pouvais y'avoir des raccourcies clavier ça serait encore mieux (mais c'est un détail). En tout cas bien joué! ;-)

AwesoOOOooooOOoooooooooooome! Some tiles are a bit redondant(joke) but it's "beauuuu quoi !"
So nice to be the DM for once!

wow great game ! keyboard shortcut is a good idea !

Thank you everyone for all your really kind comments ^_^
Really touching!
Source code (Haxe) has been released, check my blog :
blog.deepnight.net

Great work! Looks and sounds fantastic and a solid implementation of the idea.

As good as pr0n

Excellentissime rien a dire quoi :)

Ca ramouille un peu quand on spam trop dommmage mais vraiment super niveau design !!

The game is really great ! The tutorial is simple and fast, we understand the game easily. Maybe the only bad point is the miss of a ally to spawn that cost 15 or 20 points :/

Amazing as usual. Had a lot of fun!

Excellent and a ton of fun, as usual :)
I love the random ghosts sprites above all else!
I'll go spawn some more zombies packs now ;)

Fantastic!!!

The best game i've seen here, a very good job, i got to say contragulation !!

Bah. I cannot even add anything new to the above comments! So perfect it hurts! :D Congrats on another astonishing entry!

Pretty awesome game. Had a lot of fun playing it!

Amazing as always!

That was a fun and frantic game. :-) Really liked the idea of controlling the minions. I thought it worked played really well.

WOW.

Awesome game! Really enjoyed it!

love this game! I especially love the hero's dialog, especially the wizard

Woah, everything was great and how can you fit more the theme than like this.

Super fun, slick and polished like all of your games. Well done, great stuff. I had a ton of fun with this. Everything was here (art, sound, music and most of all fun gameplay).

Woo!!
It's really so fun!
I like the game! art, gameplay, audio, are all amazing!

Really great. For me, you are the winner.

Fantastic

Haha pretty good entrance!!
I really liked it, the things that the good guy say are awesomely funny ;)

I really enjoyed it. I hope you will continue on it and add more levels and minions.

Just. Wow. Man.

Yeah this game is pretty superb.
Wonderful.

Absolutely brilliant!

Fantastic game! Fun idea, great execution.

Amazing job! :D Everything tied together extremely well! Love the art!

Very good job !! It seems you have your own game development style (I saw your blog).. proof of your talent ! Bravo :)

I was expecting Wonder Girl as a third hero.

Did you find a way to dilate time in order to make 48 hours a week ?

The art is really amazing, and the game reminded me of Dungeon Keeper. I can see it becoming a bigger project with a proper story and many levels. At any rate, good job!

Totally amazing game, really great job.

Brilliant in all aspects :)

Impresionnant !

Great game. Was I the only one who found it really hard? Perhaps a little more monster variation (ranged units, ones with shields?) but altogether a nice idea and, even better, incredibly polished!

Great game! I didn't feel that it was especially funny or innovative, but I definitely can't mark it below average on either count. I felt challenged but not overwhelmed, and even managed to beat the second level first time through (I was surprised). Excellent job, a very cohesive effort; time was well spent on all fronts.

Thanks again everyone for all the comments! T_T

@iandioch > you're right, the game would require a little more monster types, like turrets and better balancing. The shield idea is good too! I take note :)

I posted a post-mortem on my blog : [ blog.deepnight.net ]

The idea is fun and well executed, it stands out from the sea of entries. Hoping to see you take this even further with more content.

The only flaw I found was that the game crashed after the first level on Opera. However, I tried again and didn't encounter that anymore.

Good: Niiice graphics and the gameplay is solid!
Improve: Did not find any goats. Endgame?

Fantastic game! The most complete and polished entry I've played so far. Fun and challenging -- and the taunts the heroes speak add to that.

Deepnight, you always manage to pull off some amazing games for these jams. Kudos!

pretty fun!

Very impressive. Very different

Fantastic!!!!!

Great job, i'm just jealous as usual :(

Good job.

That was a pretty fun game, and it made me FEEL evil, as I threw all those creepers at the hero. Damn, I hate hate hate that hero :-D

The hero could have been a bit more intelligent though. Since monster 3 and 2 could shoot/attack through walls, all you really needed to do was to slow the hero down with hordes of zombies until you could put a shooting monster in the back lines.

The one liners from the heroes and monsters were gold, and the game was gorgeous.

Thanks for the game!

Awesome

Very well done. I had a hard time with the second level the first time, managed to win the second time. Would play additional levels if you build them.

Fantastically fun game! Very well done!

Perfect. I don't think one could do better in 48h. Heroes are hoooooorible things calling every thing "noobs" and ARRRR take that you evil hero T_T
In addition, the game is beautifull (art, colors, ambiance), the sounds create immersion, a good tutorial.
Thanks a lot for this game.

Awesome like always!!

really polished with nice game feel. I liked the way the zombies spawned. Basically I would end up spamming zombies and then have one 30-monster.

Best entry until now! Good Job!

simply amazing how much quality you can put in a single game is so little time

Wow, that was incredible. Not really sure how you keep pulling stuff like this off, but bravo!

Beautiful graphics, great mood, good concept - the game-play itself needs some polish... but, pretty fantastic effort anyway

Great stuff -- first 5* overall, thoroughly enjoyed playing :)

Amazing! Can't believe that you did alone with 48 hours!
It is a hard game, but short and it is good this way.
Once you make an strategy, it is beatable.
Great job!

That was genius, great game.

so good!

Impressive quality. I just find amazing how such game could be created in 48h. I truly need to learn how to do the things you do!! :D

Whurbl? Just making all these animations graphics would take me 3 days, and they would suck. Truly inspiring to see such a good entry. Any comments I have are pointless as the polish and feel you've created in 2 days is amazing. Time to start practicing drawing...

Incredible game! I really like the idea and the graphics were above great.

Great job as always.

Awesome game!

Nicely done. It's sad it was lagging so much.

Overall good, but the dull AI and spammyness takes away most of the strategy, you can just chain chests anywhere and use the big guys in another room whittling the hero down, and block him with huge hordes of zombies forever.

WOW!!!

Awesome work for 48 hours! Graphics, sounds were great. those little speeches really add to the game.

I found it very difficult though, or perhaps I just had bad strategy, lost it at the wizard.

As usual a beautiful looking game. Loved the little comments the hero makes, and filling a room with the goblin dudes.

Flawless, again, I really enjoyed this so thank you! The way the creeps spring out of the cursor is so juicy, the Hero's characterisation with the snide comments is un-intrusive but adds so much flavour. Excellent animation and sound, clear to see how well you are doing etc. Perhaps some kind of stats screen on fail to encourage another go would be a good extension?

Très bon jeu, mais j'ai l'impression que les autres étaient mieux.
Les graphismes et la réalisation sont idéaux, mais c'est le contenu qui me gène : il n'y a que 2 niveaux et le 2° est trop long une fois qu'on a trouvé comment faire perdre des vies au magicien.

Awesome game! Not sure if there is a real strategy, just kept clicking to get the health down.

There he goes again! Just fucking amazing, why do I even bother writing a comment?! :D

Congrats for getting highest overall, this goes beyond the usual jam game.

Stellar aesthetics! I love you. >_>"

Yeah, ok, you won! ;)

A great game. Was very fun. I didn't need to look at the author to know who made this game. Your pixel rendering has been the same for all of your submissions. You are getting the graphics vote without any effort. I would not give this entry innovation since you have already done this rendering style many times. Step that portion up.

wow. i love this game.
