Also, the move animation overrides the (probably too short) attack animation.

Might help to add a health meter or something. Good game, though."},{"author_name":"uncade","author_uid":"3294","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 2:25pm","epoch":1367418000,"text":"I really thought the blood effect was cool! Like others have mentioned, it would have been nice to have attacks be more apparent. Cool game!"},{"author_name":"DBRalir","author_uid":"10296","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 9:42pm","epoch":1367444220,"text":"Took me a minute to figure out how to play, but it's a nice game. I really like the blood effect. I kind of wish there was some build-up to the fight, though.\r<br\/>(Unrelated: I believe I fixed that shader error in my game, if you want to check it out.)"},{"author_name":"patrickward","author_uid":"22335","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 1:18am","epoch":1367457180,"text":"The fly was kind of freaking me out; between it's size and the haunting sound it made. Nightmarish! Great job on the overall atmosphere."},{"author_name":"GeorgeBroussard","author_uid":"8631","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 6:55am","epoch":1367477400,"text":"I killed the fly. Wasn't really sure what was going on. Keep going and adding to it. Suggestions: less floaty jump (have the jump be about .7 secs from jump to land) and at least put up some text with the goal. I think you could do more with the theme vs a wolf attacking a giant fly which makes little sense? Pick any other 2 animals or some setup that makes more logical sense? A cat jumping to get birds, or whatever."},{"author_name":"Boi\u00fana","author_uid":"10602","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 2:19pm","epoch":1367504040,"text":"Fits the theme well.

Quite difficult to figure out how to hit the fly, or if the fly hit you. And the animations looked somewhat off."},{"author_name":"Christina Nordlander","author_uid":"20504","time":"May 4, 2013 @ 3:51pm","epoch":1367682360,"text":"Could have done with some attack animation for clarity (but then, it is a minimalist game), and like some other players, I got to the end and wasn't sure whether I'd won or lost. Other than that, it's OK. The graphics are atmospheric, and I like how you actually made the characters look wounded, though the blood itself was a bit simplistic. I wasn't very fond of the sound effect, but the music has a nice retro vibe."}],"images":["ld26\/21673-fa28f29a79d8122baef867cbb1600bd8.jpg","ld26\/21673-0c1674bf44d308562b4440a183e188c6.jpg","ld26\/21673-e1a03507a5d107412e3105f360701cd7.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/pathemphill.com\/games\/minimal\/","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/pathemphill.com\/games\/minimal\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/pathemphill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/src.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"24949","g_author":"21673","g_event":"LD26","g_eventkey":"16","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"24979","g_title":"Minimal: The Tiny Beast with the Big Hunger","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1281","g_commentcount":"15","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\/\/233892\/21673-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/21673-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/21673-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Runs in Flash 10.3.
