Rainyblow Bash by ceosol

[raw]
made by ceosol for LD32 (COMPO)
One of the screenshots is a comic of the storyline. With only 15 minutes left, it was not included in the game files. Source on Stencylforge and download via game jolt.

Left, right and up to move
Or WASD works too
Hold down mouse to ire
Click mouse to rainbow barrage (when gold bar runs out)

The leprechaun Rainyblow has had enough of imps stealing his gold. Time to fight back.... by throwing whatever is in reach at them.... hmm what is in reach? Oh right, GOLD! Throw your hordes of gold at the goblins, hobgoblins, fairies, claurichauns.

If you run out, make a rainbow and grab a new pot.

*note the boss fight is really tough. Also, nothing happens when he reaches zero hp, sorry!

Really weird game, a little buggy on the platforms, but i love the music jaja. You should work a little more on it to make it smoother, good job!

Heheh, this was entertaining, if a little bizarre. I really enjoyed the barrage animation and mechanic! Good fun.

Nice game, but movement and combat feel a bit weird and jaknky.

Well that was confusing. Or was it? I don't even. That'll be 5 stars for mood, I guess.

Probably the glitchiest game I've every played. Managed to get to a boss by spamming jump and practically flying there, but he wouldn't die so I gave up.

Weird as fuck, but fun. There are more enemies in the desktop version? Ouch!

The beginning is a bit too much for my taste, I just wanted to test the controls and suddenly they were all over me :D Jumping is bit weird and I depleted the boss health with no effect three times than I gave up.

What I missed was a possibility to evade attacks. You are pretty helpless and shooting really isn't enough, so one is bound to lose health, which is a bit frustrating. And as you can't defend otherwise, I think the only strategy that is wise, is to hold the fire button permanently. Maybe you could have added a little more conflict/ a decision there.

Anyway, nice job.

The shooting felt weird. the way you levitated when shooting didn't feel right. The jumping is really really buggy
i just jumped straight up and i seemed to just snap to the closest platform.

Also, when i depleted what i assumed to be the boss's pink health bar, the game kept going. was i missing something?

Anyway, the best part was the rainbow barrage. i loved emptying my gold bar to trigger that. it felt really nice to mow down enemies for a few seconds.

I have to say it is weirdly entertaining :D
It was also challenging for me. I almost killed the orange/brown creature but I failed; so I raged quit :D

Thanks for all of the feedback! I was going for completely bizarre, fast-paced imp/goblin carnage, so I guess I succeeded in that respect. Admittedly, it was way too big of a project for 48 hours. I wanted the boss fight in there, but ran out of time. I know the boss is broken but I felt it was not game ending so I did not fix it after the comp was over.

Intriguingly fun! You definitely succeeded at creating a bizarre, fast-paced action game. The graphics could be improved, but I know you didn't have much time for that.

Strange but fun game, I liked when the leprechaun entered in "rage" mode. Good job!

Overall a bit weird (which, was probably the intention). I could float midair by shooting down and the (boss) monkey-creature was really buggy but it was fun nevertheless :)
