Also, the only level in this demo is quite hard - we are designing a sequence of levels with a progressively increasing difficulty, as well as tweaking the "combat" system ;)\r\rThanks for the feedback !"},{"author_name":"mr_Hk_","author_uid":"4185","time":"May 4, 2011 @ 9:52am","epoch":1304502420,"text":"Nice guyz !\r\ri really looking forward to see this POF finalize."},{"author_name":"Dark Acre Jack","author_uid":"2947","time":"May 10, 2011 @ 3:49am","epoch":1304999040,"text":"It seemed to take forever to load for me.

On the other hand you have waves of monsters (each with one particularity).\r\nThe game core mechanic is rather simple, drop equipement (moving fast on a cloth rail) onto the wannabe-hero as precisely as possible, and send him to the battle field.\r\nMake sure the gear matches the monster he will be facing. Better not give'em the wrong stuff, or they'll die quicker and without hurting the baddies at all !\r\n - Sword for basic monsters\r\n - Mace for monsters with shields\r\n - Shield against monster with shield\r\n\r\nAlso, the more precise the gear drop is, the more efficient the fighter!\r\n\r\nThe screen layout :\r\non the left half, the shop, on the right side, a camera view of the battlefield.\r\non the top border, the wave sequence of monsters !\r\nOn the bottom border, the long line of wanabe-heroes...<\/p>","title":"My Hero Factory"}
