Curse Those Heroes by FireTwin
***PLEASE DON'T RATE THIS GAME WITHOUT LEAVING A COMMENT, THANKS***
Curse Those Heroes is a 2-player game, where one player controls the crazed warlock and his magical orbs, and the other player is a hero who must try to scale the castle without being hit.
Each magical orb has it own special ability, which the warlock can make full use of to try and surprise the unsuspecting hero!
All you need is a keyboard and 2 people to play! Hope you have fun!
Controls:
Warlock - WASD each key controls specific coloured orbs and has a cooldown.
Hero - Arrow Keys (Up key is jump and double jump)
============================================================================
Story: (Also in the game itself!)
Those heroes have risen up again. They're trying to steal Lord Tanigryr's Tome...
You know... that book you found the other day.
As always, it was getting close to the end of the month, when you realized — a tad late — that your toilet paper was running turd-wrenchingly low. You were looking for a suitable substitute in your castle's library when fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately for Lord Tanigryr) you stumbled upon the most diabolical book in the universe. Luxury bog roll in hand, you started for the lavatory when all of a sudden you were overcome with the urge to rule the world.
With your newfound powers and your penchant for world domination, you were shocked to discover that nobody has ever ran for the position of Supreme Overlord. A role that appears to you to be poorly represented in today's democracy. You graciously take it upon yourself to fill in this gap in society and vow to lead the galaxy for the greater ev... errr good. Your first policy: World Slavery.
Surprisingly, the general folk haven't taken to your enlightened way of dealing with world issues, but mostly they just don't wanna pay their taxes man! They have rounded up a force of heroes to try and thwart your masterful plan.
Show those filthy peasants who's boss!

The fun part was that I randomly mashed buttons with my left hand and couldn't figure out why it was hard to get around things as the hero.
All in all, pretty fun.
One thing -- It wanted me to go through an entire installation process (includiing DX9), which I should already have... and for some reason the installation process took like 10 minutes, which seemed a little hefty considering the game play is much, much shorter.
@Flaid, I'm not sure why it installed DX9 again for you, but I think it's a GameMaker issue. I compiled the game from a newer version version of GameMaker now, so hopefully that helps. Cheers for telling me.
I'll check the vampig download. Sometimes the transition after hit "p" key is very slow. So if you have some time you could try again.
I liked the mood and mechanic with the warlock very much. Great innovation points with the unique premise!
It's a simple but a fun game. Nice work!
