I have to say, I think art is my weakest skill, closely followed by audio. It's cool to hear that someone enjoyed it :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Dark Acre Jack:\r<br\/>Magicka definitely popped into my mind a few times, even though I haven't played it. I tried staying away from their paradigm; but, in the end, the beer must flow! And it was an intuitive fit.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for playing, guys! That's the ultimate reward. Apologies for the bugs :)"},{"author_name":"Endurion","author_uid":"103","time":"May 10, 2011 @ 8:56am","epoch":1305017460,"text":"Very neat.

The dragon can kill you for no apparent reason sometimes, and if you die, there's a chance it'll muck up the music, your health, and a few other things. So, just try not to die :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The brews are as follows:\r<br\/>Golden Ale - restores your health\r<br\/>Slime Molt - makes you move faster for a short duration\r<br\/>Bubble Brew - makes you invisible for a short duration\r<br\/>Dragon Stout - launches a very damaging fireball\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If I'd had more time, I would've progressively introduced them :) Alas, 48 hours isn't that much, especially when you work on Saturdays!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A skip button is the #1 most requested feature :) Next time, hopefully, I won't be building the engine at the same time and can accommodate with nice elements like skipping dialogue!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks, everyone, for playing!"},{"author_name":"Hempuli","author_uid":"491","time":"May 23, 2011 @ 9:32am","epoch":1306142820,"text":"Great narration, nice idea, decent audio...\r<br\/>...But absolutely horrendous controls; the player moves really fast but rotates really slowly, thus leading into some really awkward maneuvers."}],"images":["ld20\/4306-45f15eb73feaa3a92e3309ccfd8dcb56.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.aagrapsas.com\/wizards\/Ludum20.swf","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.aagrapsas.com\/daretobe\/ludum20","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"33069","g_author":"4306","g_event":"LD20","g_eventkey":"6","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"33099","g_title":"Wizards of the Brew","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"146","g_commentcount":"8","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\/\/45257\/4306-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Hey, all,\r\n\r\nThis is my first ever entry :) Wizards of the Brew is about a lost wizard finding himself tasked with collecting the most amazing beer ever.
