Didn't really understand the mechanics and why does the ball on top of the tower crumble but i like the artstyle.

The magic powered siege tower has an invisible number indicating how much energy's left. This number slowly diminishes and stops the tower and makes the magic orb disappear when it reaches 0. The enemies you fight are powered by magic so defeating them gives the tower more energy... somehow XD. I did a terrible job explaining stuff other than the controls which I'll need to improve for the next jam.

I'm glad you liked the artstyle, I might have been able to go for something more modern, except I couldn't find the cable to plug in my drawing tablet. Any visual appeal is pure luck.

Good entry for your first time!
Maybe make some self Promotion and rate and comment other games! that way you get ratings and feedback!

Thanks! I'll follow that advise.

A good start to a game. Graphics are good. I'm a bit confused as to why the skeletons just stop a 3rd of the way from the siege thingy I'm pushing. Shouldn't they just come at me all the way?

Anyways I think the biggest thing the game is missing is sound. Even some simple sound effects made with bfxr would go along way and a bit of music, even if it was just a slow drum beat to go with the siege tower moving forward, could have added a lot.

Overall good job for your first jam. It seems you are having trouble getting ratings at this time though. The best way to get more people to rate your game is to play, rate, and comment on other games. Rating other games increases the chances of your game coming up through the smart filter. Commenting helps because a lot of people will come play and rate your game in return.

Victoryyy!!! After a couple of attempts, I've made it :) I liked your game, but tell me, why only one soldier has to do the hard work? The others are clearly just having a good time :D A music and some sound effects would have spiced up this game a little bit. Overall, nice one, I had fun! Keep it up :)

@Phlip45
I didn't plan in time for bug fixing which led to some nightmarish glitches, like minions not going all the way to the player. There are technically archers in the game, but they stopped spawning for some reason and I never found out why! The game definitely could use sound, but I currently don't have software for making sound effects or music. I was kinda expecting someone else who would do that, but after this I'll have to start looking for a music program.

Thanks for the advice on getting rankings! I guessed ranking other people would help but I wasn't sure why.

@easy82
I'm glad you liked the game! Never came up with why the soldiers aren't fighting... Let's just they're cowardly... yeah. In fact, let's say that was the reason all along, totally didn't just make that up.

Really fun game, but needs some polishing as said in the comments. Good Job!

@GideonTheBard If you aren't confident in sound or music there are some very useful tools you can use for doing jam games that let you make 'okay' sounding stuff without knowing a lot. There are actually quite a lot out there, but the ones I've used in the past are http://beepbox.co/ for music, which is a simple sequencer that can make decent sounding music quickly. For sound effects the go to seems to be http://www.bfxr.net/ which can be used to make simple bleeps and boops. If you have a microphone you can also do quite a lot with http://www.audacityteam.org/ which is what I used for my entry. You can find more free tools here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/tools/ , the few I mentioned are just my recommendations for if you have little to no experience and don't want to spend a ton of time on sounds and music. Hope this helps!

I'm currently trying to update my game with sounds from bfxr(thanks for recommendation). I should have had that out the other day but now I'm stuck with trying to fix some major bugs. Hopefully I can figure it out before the end of the week.
