Good difficutly.\n\nFun: It's fun! I wish it was longer! The main schtick of potion throwing is good. Took me embarrassingly long to realise what you gave us potion #1 for... after that the game was much less frustrating :p. My only complaint about the gameplay is that Erdanon gets a bit floaty around the edge of a platform - this caused me to often miss jumps.\n\nInnovation: Sure, making a puzzle out of the throwing potions mechanic is clever, and works well.\n\nTheme: Yes\n\nGraphics: The cutscene art is very nice! I guess I feel that the ground and sky tiles don't live up to the rest of the art.\n\nAudio: A bit bare-bones.\n\nHumor: Good - I enjoyed the cutscenes! P.S. was this guy losing blood for fifty years??\n\nMood: Alright, would have been helped by some music.\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"johnnysix","author_uid":"1010272","time":"2019-05-02T19:54:22Z","epoch":1556826862,"modified":1556826862,"text":"Made me laugh when he turned into a skeleton.

One thing I've always found important with puzzle games that have failure states is that it's good to have a fast means of getting back to the game play.  Very good call on adding a reset button.  The first potion does a good job of helping predict the impact location of the other potions.  Short of having a projectile arc tracer on screen while holding the button, this is a pretty elegant way to cut down the frustration of missed shots.\n\nThis is a very solid foundation for a puzzle platform game.  A good bit of humor mixed in there as well.  Perhaps Erdanon should've focused on stopping the bleeding and using conventional means of travel rather than bleeding his way through his quest.  What a tragic story.  Don't mess with the dark arts!\n\nI would love to see more stages and potions.\n\nGood job, and I hope you're feeling better after being ill!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"exewin","author_uid":"1126435","time":"2019-05-04T22:05:30Z","epoch":1557007530,"modified":1557007530,"text":"@vinay-rao Thanks for playing and for kind words. :)","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld44\/140721-539cf73049de55ac40e546b8efbf2991.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/exewin.itch.io\/lifeoferdanon","text":"HTML5 (web)"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/exewin\/LD44-Game","text":"Source code"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"37772","g_author":"1126435","g_event":"LD44","g_eventkey":"75","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"256162","g_title":"Life Of Erdanon","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"18","g_site2_node_id":"140721","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0.367769"},"nds":{"n_key":"140721","n_urlkey":"256162","n_parent":"139254","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/44\/life-of-erdanon","n_slug":"life-of-erdanon","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"126435","n_created":"1554320691","n_modified":"1556795845","n_version":"469178","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":140721,"parent":139254,"superparent":9,"author":126435,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2019-04-28T18:43:34Z","created":"2019-04-03T19:44:51Z","modified":"2019-05-02T11:17:25Z","version":469178,"slug":"life-of-erdanon","name":"Life Of Erdanon","body":"![28-4-2019 20-44-34.png](\/\/\/raw\/3ed\/e1\/z\/21007.png)\n\n\n** Description **\n\n\nErdanon - mage, man of knowledge and alchemist.
