Ancient Invaders by Insality
--What the hell is going on?!
Oh, nothing extraordinary. There are two space invaders, kind of tomb raiders, or another treasure hunters, you know. One has a sword, another a flame thrower. They are looking for great ancient technology hidden in stone plates. stone plates locate on the unexplored planets, contain into usuals stones. Its all sounds awesome, but local wild tribes don't give it to you without a fight. C'mon, stop reading, just try to play it!
--Controls:
First character: WASD: Moving, H: Attack
Space: switch characters (if you play single, use it!)
Press M to toogle sounds!
Second character: Arrows Moving, L: Attack (for multiplayer)
Good luck with you invades!
Can you get the highscore?!
--
Tools: Defold! Glad to use it in LudumDare
Glad to complete my first Jam Dare (some new experience in the team!)
You can play solo, just use Space to switch character!

This attack-control hack was specially for singleplayer. I will not remove it, I'm enjoyed this style of control. Hope you too ;)
If someone have suggestions about game: please tell me here in comments!
The graphics and UI are great.
I had the impression the fire guy was a bit better than the sword man though.
Anyway, great entry, well done !

I am running a 32 bit Windows XP.
Great music, i want to see Ai control on second char ;)
The small details like the bugs running on the ground are a nice touch.
One improvement that would be cool would be to have to the controls with a controller, like left joystick to move and the right one to aim, and trigger to attack.
I really liked the art and level design
However I wish you could of made more character directions for art.
love the mechanic and graphic!. i find that glitch when one of them is shooting by himself (like without touching H key). Nice game!. i loved it!

game have stunning arts, music is good too (for ludum) . In my opinion swordsman is weaker than the other character. Thanks for making in game key hints :). Gameplay is repetitive. Overall well done for 2 members team.

I would change the H key for Q or Z. So the two player would play with the same way.
In fact I stoped to play when my arms started to hurt hehe.
Congratulations!
i enjoyed it it was simple, and fun.
though my only complaint is that, switching between characters is made to Space and attacking is {H} it should have been the opposite (H for swap, space for attack). just my opinion
besides that, you pretty much tackled around everything nicely :) you even done a nice move by making the other character teleport to the player if they get into a certain distance, that was a nice fix for when the other char gets stuck. somewhere
also the Coil on the flame weapon was just amazing, not sure if it was Code or animation, but it was very nice nonetheless.
i liked how you got creative with simple mechanics, good job with that.
nice game i loved it. (also the leader board is very cool).
Switching caracters is not very intuitive (try adding a small animation or particle effect) and we switched characters by accident.
Music, soundeffects, graphics, animations, leveldesign and balancing are on a very high level. Well done!
I expected to fight a boss on collecting all 4 runes.
btw, it felt so evil to burn down all the natives and homes to crisp.
Nice feel reading them all.
@tmpxyz Nice idea! We will release soon new version with the boss and some more improvements ;)
The rhythm of the sword jabs almost matches the music, it would be great if it did!
Also, fantastic name choice ;)
This game has a lot of nice polish, particularly for a game jam game (Highscores)!
I didn't find it that challenging sadly.
Nice work!
We played your game on stream though:

The graphics are gorgeous! Very well done! (There are a few English mistakes in the text, if you want to publish this game you might want to have someone correct the texts.)
Honestly, the gameplay is a bit simple. I wished the attacks would be more complex, perhaps with different weapons/different attack directions. (and I'm only saying this because everything else about your game is awesome!)
BTW, thank you for playing my game. I'm happy you made it to the golden statue! :D
