Raid' Simulator by alpacalypse
Raid' Simulator
This is an Early Version(tm) but we're happy we're getting something out. This is our duo's second LD.
Experience ~~all the~~ ~~much of~~ a significant fraction of the excitement and hilarity of large scale PvE raiding as a clueless sprout without the bother of actually logging onto your MMO of choice.
Depth sold separately (we ran out of time before we could make the planned Deeper bosses).

There is some stuff I'd like to critizise though:
- There is no tutorial on how to play. You can figure out that you attack automatically eventually but just having a tutorial would enhance the first time playing experience.
- Some form of indicator as to where the enemy will attack is definitely needed. Maybe just a shape on the ground indicating what will be the damage zone would suffice.
After I realized that, it was easy - a bit too much, maybe?
The idea of a raid simulator is nice and funny, but I don't understand how it relates to the theme of "Deeper and Deeper"...
The gameplay idea is nice though, I could easily see it extended with different bosses having different attacks and requiring different strategies. Also hinted by the icons next to the health bars, I think there could be different classes of characters (healers, fighters) that could lead to interesting gameplay.
And what about the theme ?
I like it! And the random outfit system is a nice touch.
