Thanks for taking part.

Things I liked about the game.

  • Love the frantic game play. Really captured the frantic feelings of the old gauntlet for me.
  • The having to choose between getting a steak or protecting the wagon at times was cool. Love the two health bars to protect.
  • Co-op I just love co-op games.
  • Great juice and polish especially for a short jam.

Things I think could be improved.

  • Visual space gets a bit cluttered in tight combat.
  • Some sort of rebuf or push away so you have more then one tool to protect the wagon.
  • Controller changing colors to match the players color.
  • Complete game loop without requiring a reconnect each time.

Really great results for a one man game jam game.  Polished and fun. Look forward to see more of your work.

Solid feeling combat and overall sense of game mechanics, and enjoyable visuals. Fell a bit short on the theme (but the voice is funny!), and I feel like a bit of a lobby system would have added to the level of polish. But overall, good entry!

Really enjoyed this one, the game play is great and combat is fun. I feel the theme could have been pushed further and tied into the gameplay more.

When you wanna check out the game but Unity/TableRealms says no... I think I'm missing a table realms unity thing on my PC that all the other Unity devs have

Developer

that is weird. It should work right out of the box. You don't even need to run the emulator thingie for construct.

Do you get an error of some kind? If you do, let me know. There might be a simple fix.

The Table Realms app crashes - doesn't say anything specific - so my guess is as good as yours - I'm thinking I'm missing a dl

maybe a firewall is on?

Or, maybe the app on your phone is different version.

I am using the one from the google play store.

Tried a fresh install on 2 different phones... nada :'( Table Realms crashes - it doesn't load the game at all and then crashes shortly after

The Windows firewall seems to block every instance of Unity running on the machine.

You will need to go in and give access to each instance of Unity, otherwise it won't allow access to the game through Table Realms.

Developer

Yes. That sounds exactly the same as the firewall issue I had on Saturday. My Windows Firewall was switched on for certain networks... wehn I disabled it, the app started working. (This was not an issue with Construct, but it seems like Unity requires a bit more freedom)

GOT IT YASS - my right thumb is dead! This game reminds me of Warcraft 3 mini games - improvements can be different modes and being able to upgrade your knight and wagon! I loved the Afrikaans lol!

Fun game! 

Love the art style, the combat is great and the overall game is a good time to play.

I am so glad you liked the combat. There were a ton of stuff i didn't get time to implement, such as spawn patterns and ambushes... i was worried that the current combat might be boring as a result.

Another option like a kick or AOE Attack would've been nice.

But you can use this as a basis for a future project XD

It is a learning experience, after all.

Expect something better for next year ;-)
