The Tournament by aare

[raw]
made by aare for LD34 (JAM)
"The Tournament" was created in roughly 28 hours full of hard coding, designing and eating delicious pizza by the team of 6. In this cyber-coloseum manager you can experience the hard work and tough choices it takes to GROW your team of puny thughs to become the ultimate killing machines.

Use arrow keys to choose your best champion, decide the fate of the defeated foes and collect different skills. Colored skills are stronger against non colored ones. Also blue is stronger against red, red against green and green against blue. Collecting 2 skills of the same colour level-ups your character and combine them into one, better skill.

Hope you enjoy.
Cheers

Filip, Kamil, Kamil, Kuba, Kuba and Daniel

Thanks for checking out our submission. Unfortunatelly we are still fighting with the packaging of our game - its pretty late ATM in poland so we probably will be able to finish it no sooner than in the next 24 hours.

Sorry for all of the troubles :(

Enjoy!

I like the choice between levelling up and making your group bigger ?

Ow, congratulation for your game! Greate visual design.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask a favor. You already rated my game, but I was not allowed "innovation rating." Please could you assess this item now? Take the opportunity to play with some corrections. Very thanks:http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=36629

Awesome game. I love the art style and it feels very polished. I think it would be better if you dropped either the ADR or the roll-based attacks. The two mechanics together can sometimes mean that you lose purely on bad luck, rather than strategy. I had a few fights that I lost just because my gladiator rolled all skills when I had no ADR left.

Nice concept. Good balance of the different game mechanics.
A bit difficult to understand at the first try but getting interesting with the time.

Great game :)

nice pixel bots, was a bit confused where the game elements were at first, then i realised i could choose out of 3 rolls and choose which bot.. figured it out. my new bots would die so much that i only had one high spec bot. the style fit together, gfx and music. good work team!

In the beginning the combat was a bit confusing, but once I got the hang of it I found it quite clever ^^ It's a very nice idea, and you seem to have gotten a lot completed in just 28 hours (:

Took me a few rounds to understand what was happening, but it was worth it, and soon I couldn't stop playing. Well done!

Really nice entry. The games were really difficult to understand and feel a bit too random, but I could see this as being a really great mobile game, where you can even play against others.

Very cool. I did't spend much time on the game but looks really fun and you can actually GROW your robots into powerful ones. Well done!

Nice PRS fighting game ! At first I missed that you get the gladiators you spare, but when I understanded it, it made the game more interesting. Good job. :)

Really like the game, just why can't I gain the enemy for my party, when we both die, just WHY?
