Loved the look of the little guy. Nice use of the theme.\r\rAt first was a bit lost at using Enter as attack. And the rest of it was a bit silly - The levels and the enemies weren't very interesting ... Maybe tie it in with the weapon ? Like, what would you use your keyboard to defeat ... And where would you be doing it ... Some kind of story would go a long way."},{"author_name":"Crafting4U","author_uid":"29423","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 9:50am","epoch":1429523100,"text":"Lots of fun and very funny to play!"},{"author_name":"DugelStudios","author_uid":"52542","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 9:54am","epoch":1429523340,"text":"Thanks guys, and right now theres a glitch that won't let the weapons upgrade, I'll be fixing it tomorrow (I have no time today). The weapon upgrades address the sluggish\/unresponsive issue. (the first weapon is supposed to be bad so theres room to upgrade) The upgrades make the sword longer and swing faster, aswell as reduced the time you have to wait to swing again. Really sorry about this guys, I'll try to fix it as soon as I can.\r\r(The weapon upgrades when I play it in unity, but not when I build for web... weird)"},{"author_name":"pythong","author_uid":"717","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 9:55am","epoch":1429523400,"text":"i get the feeling i cannot attack and jump?\r\ralso, please upload your source to make this a valid compo entry"},{"author_name":"mokujin","author_uid":"14120","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 10:02am","epoch":1429523820,"text":"Nice game, a little hard (it's not easy to get first upgrade) but still fun!"},{"author_name":"ManicMiner","author_uid":"50892","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 10:19am","epoch":1429524840,"text":"Attack is a little sluggish, but not bad for a first time entry - if you are using WASD for controls, W could be jump rather than Spacebar"},{"author_name":"SkyWolf","author_uid":"18222","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 10:28am","epoch":1429525380,"text":"I loved the character animation for real. :D\rAnd i hated basic freaking shapes."},{"author_name":"freaknarf","author_uid":"46874","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 10:29am","epoch":1429525440,"text":"Cool...

I feel like you missed a golden opportunity to use the phrase "Keyboard Warrior". It could use a little more time being polished, and the shapes are kind of a boring enemy.

This is because you were supposed to upgrade your weapon when you kill more enemies, (which makes the weapon faster\/longer) but due to a Unity3d glitch, this feature is not working. In the Unity editor it is working fine and weapons are upgrading. But when I due the web build, for some reason this is not working. This is actually really frustrating to me because I put a lot of time into weapon upgrades... The game is a lot duller without it. (If anyone knows how to fix this, please contact me! (michaeldugle@gmail.com)\r\rAlso, alot of people are complaining about the artwork and animations, while some people like the simplistic style and think the animations are smooth. I understand this, I am a programmer and not at all an artist (Which is why I am using pixel art) and this was also my first attempt at animations. Some people also think that the controls are weird, I personally don't find anything wrong with it. I didn't have time to add control support, so I apologize for that.\r\rPlease keep on commenting, I love how everyone is liking the game and giving constructive criticism. Enjoy the game. :)"},{"author_name":"DugelStudios","author_uid":"52542","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 1:00am","epoch":1429664100,"text":"I've fixed it! Weapons now upgrade :). Apparently when you try to play a sound that hasn't been defined in the inspector, unity decides to skip the next 5 lines of code...

I feel like there is too much advantage to just camping in one spot and repeatedly attacking. Like there is no way to have strategy at the moment for this game because all you can do is spam attack and hide around platforms because the objects are so fast and unpredictable. Also there are some platforms that you can not reach. Anyways nice game! :D"},{"author_name":"DugelStudios","author_uid":"52542","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 8:15pm","epoch":1429733400,"text":"well I got 212 kills and I was moving around so camping isn't an advantage (I made the spawning algorithm so you can't camp).

Upgrade your weapon to a keyboard, guitar, and even a fish. The game is simple, attack the polygons and collect powerups to stay alive. See how many kills you can get without dieing.\r\n\r\nThere's a lot more that I would have liked to add, such as more weapons and levels, but I ran out of time. I am still working on the game, and if you would like to see development updates subscribe to my youtube channel below. I am also working on a mobile port, you can check out my Google Play account below to check out my other games.\r\n\r\nThis is my first Ludum Dare entry, and I'm pretty satisfied about this game as far as a simplified gameplay and graphics. Most of my time was spent on the enemy spawning algorithm and the enemy pathfinding behavior for different shapes.\r\n\r\nDont't forget to post how many kills you got in the comments.\r\n\r\nTOOLS:\r\nUnity3d, c#, pyxel, bfxr, and audacity.\r\n\r\nMade by an 8th grader. ;)\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/developer?id=Dugel+Studios&hl=en\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCsOMoaHKJGuJZ9AZLfKd_uw\r\n\r\nCheck out my website:\r\nhttp:\/\/dugelstudios.weebly.com\/\r\n\r\nLearn more about this project here:\r\nhttp:\/\/dugelstudios.weebly.com\/weapon-more.html","title":"Keyboard Warrior"}
