Den Of The Beast by NukeTheBunnys

[raw]
made by NukeTheBunnys for LD25 (JAM)
Damn adventurers, always trying to steal your treasure. As Bal'nok the hell goat, you must roast your adversaries and defend the treasure

It was fun stuff making this.
Unzip it and run the EXE.
WASD to move, space to breath fire - try and defend the gems as long as you can.

As far as I can tell it will not work on Windows XP, havn't been able to figure out why

Ok, that goat made me laugh. It's a GIANT GOAT!!! against those little adventurers. You should make a goat move when spitting fire, maybe a bit slower but not stopping it. It's taking too long. Also, it would be nice have a kill counter of some sort. Anyway, too bad you didn't take game further from here.

Congratiulations on entering and finishing LD ;)

Not bad at all, sadly, the goat seems underpowered. I thought it should move faster, and be able to move when breathing!

I get an error box "DenOfTheBeast is not a valid Win32 application"

Personally I don't consider protecting your stuff from thieves to be evil. I think the goat is mis-judged because of it's halitosis problem and isn't actually evil.

Bal'nok is a bit slow which makes it quite hard to defend both gems given the number of enemies.

I beat all the adventurers and no more respawned or anything. Otherwise was really good and would have played for much longer if the soldiers kept respawning.

I wanted to make it so if you killed all the adventures it would start a new wave where the adventurers would move faster, but as is the case for all game jams - ran out of time

Ok what made this game was the giant goat. THAT BREATHES FIRE HELLZ YES well done sir well done. I mean it could have used a score count or something... only to make it even more lovely than it already is.

Not being able to move when attacking is an interesting feature. But the game doesn't feel complete - you should add background, texts describing what happens in the game, sounds and music.

The goat should be able to fly.

Great idea, and fun while it lasts but it got laggy when 4 or 5 humans entered and became unplayable. Suggest finding that bug obviously and release a post-comp version, but also reduce the time spent with fire coming out the goat.

That goat has an evil grin.

The app doesn't work on WinXP because it's likely a 64-bit app, which will not work on normal XP installations. Recompile as a 32-bit app and it should be fine.
