Grab a stone, never let go of it, block the enemy shot, kill him, run for the castle - easy win :D

It was a cool design. Could be a nice concept for an iOS-game perhaps.

The game is simplistic and pretty fun for some time. However I personally do think shapeshift could've been added better.
Besides that, the game looks pretty solid and fun to play.

Very cute game. AI is pretty dumb and ended up killing itself that one time it did win, but at least you made what looks like it was probably meant to be a two player game singleplayer for LD!

Really well-executed. Novel and fun gameplay, with surprisingly decent enemy AI, and really nice artistic and humorous touches.

I really liked the pixel art style but the gameplay was not my cup of tea.

I'm glad you did. That's how it's meant to be played :D

Nice graphics. I especially like the damage progression! However, I feel like the gameplay is missing some recourse if the enemy gets past you (you're castle is likely to be gone before you can react), and I don't really understand where shapeshifting the rocks comes in...

I won a couple of times, once because the AI got confused and drove a rock into his castle, and once by following concalf's advice!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Nice entry, a little bit straightforward since there is almost no challenge in single player mode if you can block enemy. No many LD participants tend to make tutorials, you did, thank you for it :)
