鈥婤uilt within 48 hours for Ludum Dare 34: Two Button Controls/Growing. You may notice Two Button Controls was the theme used.
Try and stay alive as long as you can in a monster's office break-room! I should also mention lunging into the enemy doesn't do anything good for you. My entire family was trying to lunge into the monsters and dying.


Controls//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Knight follows the mouse. Click to lunge towards the cursor. Right click to stop completely for more fancy maneuvers.

Really fun game. It's quite difficult, though. Really nice graphics. Great work!

Very nice idea. Pretty hard to get at first because controls are not very smooth. Maybe it's just the web version laggin.
Love the art side though !

@blohod, I had some family playing the game last night, and it was working for all of us.

i like that you need to attract enemies to yourself and kill them that way. but i wish controls to be more responsive

Really hard. Loved the graphics and the sounds are great. I'm particularly found of the menu graphics with the snack conveyor belt. I didn't like how often I'd get stuck on a couch and there were a couple close together that looked like i could get through, but wouldn't fit. Also, I think the end tables need more contrast if they are going to block movement. Fun challenge though.

Tricky, partly due to the challenge of the controls, and partly due to the cramped level design. Since the knight orbits the cursor so far away, he's got kind of an "icy floor" vibe to his movements. I ended up trying to lunge whenever I could, but I still didn't get very far.

good idea, some places are too tight and the controls are not as tight.

The graphics are excellent and the audio work is good too. The running is a bit inaccurate and I felt I was just sliding around when running. A fun game in any case, enjoyed my time.

Lunging seems to only work half the time unless i'm doing something wrong (entirely possible). Stopping with the right mouse button just seems to get me killed, don't see any fancy maneuvers. I love the concept and the graphics are good but I just kept getting eaten and lost interest quickly

I really like that you keep the design of the game simple. Overall a good concept. Like others are saying, the controls are a little clunky and need more work (however, I used a trackpad so maybe not the best tool for the job). The graphics are great, simple but still looks good. I feel like the AI needs some work, the enemies get stuck a lot, which unfortunately makes the game less enjoyable.

Conclussion: Nice concept, great art, but the execution can be better.

Really difficult, despite the enemies being quite dumb. I do like the idea of luring them being your only means of offense though. Great art style and concept.

This game has nice graphics, a nice gameplay idea and cool gameplay elements. However, it is made very difficult because of the controls and unforgiving level design.

I wish there was another way to control the character, as I do like the concept of using level hazards to kill the enemies and being sneaky about it (or should I say snacky?)

Frustratingly hard but I really love the idea of the game. It would be great to have some slower/stupider enemies at the beginning so you can figure out the gameplay somewhat.

Art style is great, works very well.

Nice 8bit graphics. Once I worked out that I couldn't attack it got fun, then when I realized the spikes hurt the enemies it got more fun! Really challenging!

Loved the Graphics and Sound. The level is a little tight in places but over all the game was well designed.

Didn't understand lunging, seems like should be explained (ingame) that it doesn't kill monsters/do anything.

Really difficult, didn't get very far, sadly. The art style is very nice and consistent, the sounds fits in very well.

This is fun! It's quite difficult, but I am enjoying the challenge. Nice job with the art, it's a cool style! The premise was pretty humorous as well, and I liked the additional touch of popping out of the "snack" machines to start the game. Great job!

Nice mechanic. Tight layout lead to a getting caught on edges often, which is frustrating.
