LudumData

Village Terrorizer by Flygamer101

[raw]
made by Flygamer101 for LD33 (COMPO)
Made by Flygamer101 in less than 48 hours for Ludum Dare 33

PLAY THE TUTORIAL LEVEL OR YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND

Well, got a late start, and in about 30 hours ended up with this. Pretty fun, rate as you wish.

UPDATE: Added web playable.
UPDATE II: Mac and Linux Added

=======================
This game can be for the cruel of heart, or sparring of minds (lol that sounds weird). In here, the player can choose, to throw fireballs at innocent people slaughtering guards and villagers alike with you bare hands, breaking apart walls all to get home, or to simply observe a village, watch it grow. Watch the buildings rise. Watch the fires burn. Watch more and more people come until the village is overflowing. Then try to break it open. An army awaits inside. Can you defeat it?

Includes 3 levels and tutorial..


CONTROLS
W
ASD - Move
F - Melee attack
G - Ranged attack, based on Mana

Well, it's fun. Graphics are simple, but effective. Sadly the biggest part of the screen is not used (I would love to see the action from a little closer)
The music is really cool too!

Cool concept, if you plan on expanding it you might try and make it a sandbox thing, I'd love to leave it on one of my screens and watch the village grow, then when i'm board go wipe out a house or two.

This looked good (though the sunlight was a little too much for me). I love the idea of this game supporting multiple play styles, but I feel like the scoring system undercut that (there's no wrong way to play it, but if you don't play it the right way, you won't get points... what?).

This is really great, and my feedback is really just minor nitpicks. I can't believe this is only 48 hours of work!

I did think of the sandbox thing! Placable tiles and houses. Maybe I will expand it.

Funny little game!
Camera movement a bit "hard" when changing direction but except this I like it :)

Neat idea to have the city live and grow over time! I thought the visuals had a neat style and the music went well with the pace of the game. The bloom effect makes things hard to see, though, especially the text in the tutorial. The game felt very slow to play. The attack speed, mana recharge time, and the amount of health enemies have add up to make the levels much longer than they should be. It also doesn't feel like there's any challenge to the game, since the soldiers don't seem to chase you much. You can just shoot fireballs and make your way through the levels without any difficulty.

Nice little game with some simple actions to kill some tribesmen off of your way.

I loved the contrast of the jovial music in contrast with the blood spilling from the peasants.

Nice little game!

Nice smiley face. Good game, one thing i'd suggest adding would be to make the soldiers start attacking you if they're hit with fireballs.

@kewleus I know what you mean xD You can just snipe them from a distance. I worked on the Guard AI last, and added with working on the GUI, I had no time.

The second one just takes careful timing and strategy

I had fun launching fireballs at villagers and destroying buildings. Seems like I could only fire fireballs in one direction but the melee attacks worked fine. The music was very catchy. I also like what you did with the shader and particle effects. Great job! <3

You sir, just created a jerkotron - this game tempts you to be an ass*ole and then tells you "good job" by the end of the level. This is hillarious ! haha good job! XD

Mana should regenerate a little faster.

I also encountered a few bugs -
Sometimes the player stopped.
Lines appear above trees.

Knights should be easier to kill, and archers would be a nice addition.

Dunno about this melee combat. Seems like the knights have more range than I do?

I love the feel of the game though. I just wish things died faster (buildings especially).

The village growing was pretty cool, though it was hard to fight the guards without dying.

You should add more contrast to graphics. Now it's a bit too hard to separate the sprites from the background.

Anyway, nice little game.

Didn't have time to make archers, but it did cross my mind. As for the player stopping, I don't know enough to fix it yet, but you just go back, then forward.

It's really cool to watch the village grow, haha. I didn't actually want to destroy them.

This is a weird game, because the objective isn't really compelling and the alternative is more interesting. It's actually a pretty good interpretation of the theme.

The lighting here is gorgeous, and the simplicity of the graphics really works. The music is a bit annoying after some time, however, and some sound effects would have been nice.

it was a really interesting game. the controls were a little stiff but they were ok. i thought that the environment pixel art was great but the characters pixel art could have been better. I found the gameplay a bit slow. i enjoyed it, great work!

A cool concept, but I wasn't interesting for a long time watching the village grow, and I didn't have enough self control to let them.

I enjoyed that you could choose to be peaceful. But you had to be a monster to progress.

The combat was good, and you did a great job on the graphics. Particles and all!

Really good job making this whole village growing system. It was very well done, and great fun to knock down!

A really nice game overall. Controls could be more sensitive. The graphics are really cool but I don't particularly like the blur to the sides - it doesn't fit in with the pixel art.

I ended up holding down D+F to move forward while punching. After I died there was no end screen I just laid there while people pushed around my corpse.
I like the music in this game and the visuals are well done. It could have used a bit more polish but a good entry regardless.

As others have said, the biggest problem is that things go too slow, and you can just snipe the enemies. I think just making the destruction and attacks go faster, and making more levels, would have helped the fun factor. The best part was the overall look and feel.

Liked that you could choose to watch the village grow instead of attacking, thought that was a nice addition but did have a bug in the tutorial where I couldn't keep walking forward and the camera kept stuttering. Only lasted a few seconds though and then I could keep walking to the cave.
