Cool Game! Felt kind of like a medieval version of SkiFree.

You're killing animals because I forgot to include a story. Damn those bulls and their pink underwear.

okay, well i played that for i'm pretty sure too long. i used my phone.
bad: as it runs it progressively freezes up more and eventually crashes. this happened consistently. when dying and retrying the music often played over itself and sometimes the intro song would play too.
good: the enemy types complemented eachother and it all fit together well game design wise. i had fun.

What phone are you using? I haven't tested a lot of devices and mine's pretty powerful.

And playing it for too long is a nice compliment, thanks! I'll look into the bug.

I love the audio. The music is great, and the snake sound effect made me laugh every time. Bowowowowng!

Worked perfectly on my Nexus 7. I do believe this is the first LD game I've played on it. Good job.

The music is great and the enemies really stand out and make it unique. Nice job!

Looks like I'm not a hero, that's a man extreme anyway :)

Good game, though I didn't get what the bar on the right means?
As already said its probably more fun on the phone than on the PC (I played on PC) but I will mind that in my ratings ; )

Sadly doesn't run on my windows xp machine.
Got the following error: net.mymilkedeek.ld.desktopstarter.

That's not really descriptive. Isn't there a bigger stack trace?

And that bar is the counter for the special attack. Should have mentioned that.

I really like how the challenge scales over time, and the music :-). I think you could probably make a random scrolling background, using the same sprites you used for trees, rocks and lakes.

This is really fun. played on nexus 7. This makes me want to play guardian legend with this control structure. Loved the audio in this as well.

I played this on Android. I like the music and sound effects. :-)
The gameplay seemed to be literally hit and miss - often I thought that I had hit a creature, only to die because I hit slightly too early or late.
I like the presence of scoring - it gives a reason to replay, and to try to progress.

I had the same problems with the game freezing up with time on my Galaxy S. Very basic, liked the music.

Nice game! Collision detection seems a little off sometimes, but it's okay how it is.

You have to wipe right in front of your unit to attack, not a perfect solution on tablets (I played it on a Nexus 7). Tapping/Wiping detection would be fine.

Cool entry, nice music! I played the windows version and I noticed you could just keep the space bar pressed to be nearly invincible ;)
