I think there were a lot of little issues with feedback that could really push this game forward. It was unclear to me when I was taking damage, because I assumed the knights were just going for the treasure, i didn't register them as "attacking" me and only noticed I was low on health when the screen edge effects kicked in. A sound effect would have sufficed since figuring out a fancy animation on the knight would have been a lot of work. Though if you went the animation route, I'd recommend something really simple and obvious. I big ole sword swoop sprite perhaps, just something that makes the silhouette on the knight REALLY different so I catch it right away. I also wasn't clear exactly when I took damage, and wasn't sure how to attack them such that I wouldn't take any damage, since our ranges overlapped. I think you could have given a beat on the minotaur's death before going straight to the score screen to give me a chance to register what had just happened. Even if there was no animation, if everything on the screen just froze in place for a beat and maybe a sad sound effect, it would have given the same effect more or less. I felt sorry for this minotaur, his plight seemed hopeless. Nice job!"}],"images":["ld33\/38404-0abc32f85dcbf28d2f55d97c1b5b3353.jpg","ld33\/38404-66b0945600e82d982d570d1fe5fb3a22.jpg","ld33\/38404-0c838c194756532e1672a48bef5af610.jpg","ld33\/38404-7fc715e922d58df1cebb1950eddd5472.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/excaliburjs.com\/ludum-33\/","text":"Web (HTML5)"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/excaliburjs\/ludum-33","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"9834","g_author":"38404","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"9868","g_title":"Crypt of the Minotaur","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"152","g_commentcount":"25","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/38404-shot0-1440465732.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/38404-shot1-1440465732.gif-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/38404-shot2-1440465825.gif-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/38404-shot3-1440465732.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Content Warning: Gameplay contains pixelated blood and gore.
