I went into the fire level first and started taking down enemies and exploring, but there is nothing to explore. Plus the enemies are no threat at all. I just sat there and one walked at me and nothing happened. Plus the idea of getting to 10000 feels obnoxious. More interesting enemies, a genuine threat and an achievable goal would really help it."},{"author_name":"madalaski","author_uid":"29994","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 4:19pm","epoch":1460996040,"text":"Couple of glitches but well graphically designed and lit.

The combat was lacking a bit as you said, maybe make each element have it's own ability could spice things up a bit, it was also really easy, health bars on the enemies would also help know the player is doing damage."},{"author_name":"w1n5t0n","author_uid":"51564","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 2:53am","epoch":1461293280,"text":"interesting concept"},{"author_name":"staircase27","author_uid":"91010","time":"Apr 23, 2016 @ 9:32am","epoch":1461403620,"text":"Nice idea but needs more to do other than just keep firing at things and wander around and maybe so reason to actually visit multiple elemental areas"}],"images":["ld35\/21078-66ce42bda6b2ee4748a52cbb68246211.jpg","ld35\/21078-332a2205dfd040c9fb122a49a4284467.jpg","ld35\/21078-8795e249a77ee81b939c4d64546186d9.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/33956803\/ld35\/LD35-Trinity-Khaldrin-Submission.jar","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/33956803\/ld35\/LD35-Trinity-Khaldrin-Submission.jar","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/33956803\/ld35\/LD35-Trinity-Khaldrin-Submission.jar","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/33956803\/ld35\/LD35-Trinity-Khaldrin-Submission-SRC.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"2184","g_author":"21078","g_event":"LD35","g_eventkey":"33","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"2124","g_title":"Trinity - Descent to Ascend","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"870","g_commentcount":"9","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\/\/542293\/21078-shot0-1460940158.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/21078-shot1-1460940158.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/21078-shot2-1460940158.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Trinity is a dungeon crawler where the player can attune to the elements and therefore shift its state of matter to engage increasingly difficult enemies.\r\n\r\nStarting in a hub-like world, you can chose one of four teleporters at the beginning: \r\n\r\nThe top one takes you to the fire-themed world, the right one to the ice-themed world and the right one to the water-themed world. In each of these three areas one teleporter leads back to the hub and one deeper into the dungeon. Enemies are \"attuned\" to the element of the world they live in and take less damage from this element. Enemy HP scales with difficulty level. Unfortunately the battle-system was not finished in time, so there is no \"game over\" yet.\r\n\r\nCenter teleporter takes you to the \"boss\" an enemy that has high resistances to all elements, so you need approximately 10000 power levels in one element to defeat him in a reasonable time.\r\n\r\nAs I said: I ran out of time in the end, so the game lacks some mechanics and a reasonable \"game over\" objective (either being defeated or beating the boss).\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n\r\nKeyboard: \r\n- WASD to move\r\n- 1 attune to fire\r\n- 2 attune to water\r\n- 3 attune to air\r\n\r\nMouse: \r\n- move mouse to aim\r\n- left mouse button to shot\r\n","title":"Trinity - Descent to Ascend"}
