Very, very cool! Really well designed, I love the art style, and the audio was top-notch.

Though I hit a state at the start of one of the waves where nothing spawned. Just kind of wandered the map aimlessly trying to find them :P

Amazing. I wonder of giving that first night such an annoying voice in order for the player to try and kill him was intentional, as that sure was my first experience of success here. Great one, 5's across the board.

It's quite interesting! The sound effects are pretty nice, and the game definitely feels polished. A little bit slow to my taste, but it goes well with the overall mood. Good job!

Never before have I wanted the archers to stay still as much as this game. Great job.

Great gameplay, well paced, and fantastic presentation. I felt the monster was a bit slow which made chasing archers annoying. Stellar job!

Good music, great graphics! The gameplay was fun too, with varied units. The world felt a bit bare, though; some houses or something would have been nice. The little things the units said were hilarious. I enjoyed it, good work! :)

Terrific idea and very simple. Loved the monster. Hated the cooldown on the attack. Horses and soliders very comic.

The folk singer with the string instrument is the best thing ever!! The game is fantastic! I don't remember being so entertained by a LD entry!

I really enjoyed this, played it all the way through to the end. It was a nice, simple idea and had a lot of character. Good work!

★★★★★ Amazing. The beast is undefeated! But is it also satisfied? NO! IT WANTS MORE!

Excellent ideas here and there, the “voice acting” is really funny, the music and SFX blend in very well. My nitpicks: there is something odd with the monster walk animation, the legs and arms seem off sync, but I can’t really tell exactly; also I could not find any feedback on whether my special hit count was.

The sass on that BARD! Hahahhaa I love this entry! Stars all around. The bards' shitty music made me angry and I love it.

Great job, guys!

wow, so cool. Loved so much of this, the knights, the bowman, the horse, the bard, the monster. The genius! Things i didn't like. Man it was slow. Took soooooo long to catch some of those archers. :/ that damped some of the fun for me. Otherwise awesome!!!
Grahhhhh
31. Aug 2015 · 11:12 UTC
Oh, the limit on attacks made that hard, but it was fun though! I think the size of said monster to enemies/heroes was perfect, something about it made me feel really good about attacking!

Love the pixel art, the little guys are so cute almost a shame to kill them . . . almost

It would be better if you had more than one attack though

My favourite entry so far. Looks and sounds great and I love that bard. Slightly painful trying to dodge and chase archers when you are so slow but I guess that is a part of being a monster! :D

I enjoyed playing this entry a lot. The game mechanic works well. I hope you will expand on it. Would love to see such a game evolved into a giant raging beast feast of gore.

Fantastic game. I enjoyed the concept, the art was top notch, audio fit perfectly. It was pretty much perfect, I can't think of anything I didn't enjoy. Five stars all the way. :)

Really cool game! The gameplay was really fun, and it was pretty funny to read those dialogues coming from the bard. I loved how you can kill the bard whose giving the tutorial, most awesome skip button ever! :D

Really great game!
I love the art and music! It's amazing what you managed to do in such a short time. The gameplay is simple but well balanced (I think) and fun.
I had trouble figuring out how many knights actually remained, during the final wave I had two different messages "only one knight left" from the guard and "44 knights left" at the top of the screen. Maybe it was 44 guards left?
Anyway, that's a really great entry! Good job guys!

Very fun,
And a nice mood too.
But, is their a way to "no kill" the bard ? ^^

Absolutely amazing! You nailed the audio, with that charming bard voice and the positional sounding horse hooves. Amazing.

ALL THE STARS!! Loved this. I played through the whole game and really enjoyed the humor and the feel. It was slightly too easy, however I did die on the last level, after winning the game an arrow hit me. =P Neat little bug having the bard tell me that I was undefeated over a "Game Over" background. :D Amazing entry, be very proud of this!

Great looking and fun game, it gets little bit repetitive after while, but I still had fun even in the last wave I also like that bard at the start and the music. Really nice game!

It was made really well I loved the graphics the last level was hard for me I didn't finish it. overall really good.

nice art and animation. You feel the weight of the colossus by its animation. You should change the music ;p Good job.

I'm not quite sure what the appeal is here. The art is nice. The concept is sound. But it's an extremely simple game, and fundamentally I don't see that it requires much skill. Of any game I always ask: what's the difference between a skillful player and a poor player? In this case, you walk around and bump into little guys. I'm not sure that a good player would be much more successful than a weak one. Where's the fun?

This game was very charming! I loved the sound of it, it was extremely satifying and cute at times. The gameplay was simple, but functional and I simply loved the way the little guy before the waves was implemented. Stellar entry!
