Centurion Defend My Castle by josehzz

[raw]
made by josehzz for LD36 (JAM)
The Commander has called you and demands you to control the castle defences and repel all incoming enemies.

Instruccions:
- Move mouse to aim and left click to shoot an arrow.
- Press 1, 2 or 3 to change between Scorpios.
- Press Q or Mouse Click to use the hot oil power for the enemies near the walls.

I recommend playing the WebGL version, it will load on Kongregate if your browser is different from Firefox.

This game was pretty fun, very simple but a little addicting. I love the music and the satisfying thud when you hit someone. It was a little too easy though. I found the sweet spot and just killed everything. I got like 1200 coin in a single round before I let them kill me so I could upgrade. Good job, I enjoyed it.

I dunno what happened to my money, I bought a bunch of things and then suddenly I dropped to the negative integer limit (-2147483648), could not recover from this debt :P

Love the thud when you hit things and the music. I did manage to kill everything by just left clicking in one spot and using Q for the person who gets past every now and then.

The scorpios can be shot if I switch to them and fire after a certain amount of time without fully charging.

The glitches didn't spoil the game though, it was satisfying and fun to play, good job!

Fairly simple and a bit easy, but this kind of game can be hard to balance, especially within 72hrs

Nice game. I would try to increase the shoot speed quite a bit to make it more of a skill based game.
If would also be an idea to make better notification to let the user know if that the arrow is ready to shoot.
Keep up the good work!

You've got a good game loop going! It's a fun start right now.

What did the item at the top right do? I put a bunch of money into but couldn't notice a difference.

graphics - nice and uniform
I didn't figure how to use the second catapult
the music is neat
the improvements are nice, but after I finish them all the interest is getting low
I found a position where I just shooting repeatedly and manage to kill them all, so I prefer to die to get the improvements
overall - very nice for such a short time!

A quite playable game, but the shooting angle control seems to be not very intuitive.

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

Overall great game!
The cooldown time presentation is not fully working.
With more than one scorpio, the colldown time won't update after swithing between scorpios.

Controls are pretty hard to grasp. And after buying additional ballista, it didn't worked!
