Unfortunately in its current state there's no challenge at all.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I got to wave 25 before giving up as it doesn't seem to get any more difficult than that. Even the toughest enemy can be defeated with a single level 4 potion (and I had loads of those already).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think a 2 dimensional battlefield would have worked better in this case. Imagine playing from the first person view at the top of the tower with enemies advancing in waves from all directions.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This way you need to consider each front individually and save the best potions for the toughest foes. Keeping an eye on all enemies while trying to brew more potions would also be much trickier (in a good way, I reckon). The potion throwing mechanic works from the first person perspective as well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Apart from the lack of challenge its a well made entry, don't get me wrong. Decision making and challenge derived from that just happen to be two main contributors to gameplay, so keep those in mind next time and play test a lot."}],"images":["ld35\/91978-2a143a740ccf24167ce596740b15e38f.jpg","ld35\/91978-9bcaad4047d83fcb62ab0fb356866db6.jpg","ld35\/91978-7701aa7255d95805f7525ba10dca8619.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/simex.itch.io\/with-a-pinch-of-liver?secret=vuH46tuyI42Ga4KbxktrVUi6E","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"4017","g_author":"91978","g_event":"LD35","g_eventkey":"33","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"4020","g_title":"With a Pinch of Liver","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"535","g_commentcount":"5","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\/\/542293\/91978-shot0-1461025859.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/91978-shot1-1461026694.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/91978-shot2-1461026694.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"With a pinch of liver!\r\nSpend your time fighting off vast hordes of pesky humans as they interfere with your magical potion brewing.
