I would be careful about using copyrighted material though, I think most of the midis used the exact compositions of the games they were paying homage to. I did like the text and animation. With more time and care this could be a fun parody game."},{"author_name":"Eduard55","author_uid":"66695","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 7:27pm","epoch":1450207320,"text":"Good job and good game as a result !

Also, I'm surprised to hear you say you sacrificed most of the graphics. Honestly the graphics looked pretty darn good compared to many LD games.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game itself could have been a little stronger. The humor definitely keeps it entertaining though!"},{"author_name":"fluidvolt","author_uid":"26913","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 8:52am","epoch":1450428420,"text":"Funny. I wish you restarted back where you died, I made it to FF7 and let a single slime past... I wanted to see all of the games! Oh well. I like the midi\/soundfont renditions of the different game themes, it gave a shlock-y, lopsided flavor to them and sold the comedy. Good work."},{"author_name":"Dry Tree","author_uid":"5357","time":"Dec 21, 2015 @ 12:55pm","epoch":1450702200,"text":"Nice :)  As others have said, it would be nice to be able to restart from the last level your reached."},{"author_name":"Christina Nordlander","author_uid":"20504","time":"Dec 31, 2015 @ 6:18pm","epoch":1451585580,"text":"I laughed a lot. Great concept, great retro graphics. The title is neat, and the writing is very funny. I'd love to see a post-comp version with all the extra content you mentioned.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Unfortunately, while I enjoyed this a lot, it loses some points for having only very slight game content, and I'm not sure what LD's policy is on using copyrighted music.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In short, as a game: very slight. As a Flash video\/tribute to nostalgic awesomeness? Great!"}],"images":["ld34\/56165-5d395a6f15d6ee031317c4d38d424cfa.jpg","ld34\/56165-36bb73d007168ea52b10efab812b4d62.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.escueladevideojuegos.net\/ejemplos_edv\/LudumDare\/SwordsmanLife\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.escueladevideojuegos.net\/ejemplos_edv\/LudumDare\/SwordsmanLife\/SwordsmanLife.exe","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.escueladevideojuegos.net\/ejemplos_edv\/LudumDare\/SwordsmanLife\/SwordsmanLife.apk","text":"Android"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/hcosta\/LD34","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"6644","g_author":"56165","g_event":"LD34","g_eventkey":"31","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"6754","g_title":"Swordsman's Life","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"788","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/56165-shot0-1450140716.JPG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/56165-shot1-1450140716.JPG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Well, this time I wanted to create a kind of tribute and parody. \r\n\r\nMy initial idea for the \"Growing\" theme was about creating multiple sprites for different games: backgrounds, characters clothes and weapons... but since  yesterday I was sick I had to sacrifice most of the graphics.\r\n\r\nAnyways I managed to create an interesting prototype so I hope you enjoy this simple tap game! :D\r\n\r\nIMPORTANT: Audio not working in Internet Explorer\r\n\r\nParodied games: Dragon Quest, Prince of Persia, The Legend of Zelda, Star Wars, Final Fantasy VII and special mention to Super Smash Bros ;)\r\n\r\n========\r\n\r\nCreated with GameMaker: Studio Professional Edition\r\nCode and graphics by me, MIDI songs found in:\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.rpgamer.com\r\nhttp:\/\/tssf.gamemusic.ca\/Remakes\/\r\nhttp:\/\/www.angelfire.com\/scifi\/videos00\/star_wars_midi\/\r\n\r\n========\r\n\r\nEDIT: About the copyrighted MIDI material.
