I got to the third &quot;stage&quot; however, and couldn't beat it- maybe the buttons weren't working, maybe it was my own fault. I don't know. Either way, good job on this!"},{"author_name":"tyrants.not.found.team","author_uid":"66002","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 1:14pm","epoch":1450357740,"text":"Yeah, nice concept, got excited to see what's going to happen on and on, but level 3 with LOAD and BOUNCE does nothing.

I like the whole aesthetics, with the combination of FM-music and the 16-color graphics, which reminds so much of playing Warlords I with friends in a hot seat back in the 90s :) It was a bit tough restarting when you died so some save-points would be good!"},{"author_name":"TomenLuca","author_uid":"66261","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 5:37pm","epoch":1450546320,"text":"The concept is very interesting.

I won't say anything that haven't been said, so here is a little trick for those that haven't reached the end. You need to maintain the left arrow pressed and when the energy ball reaches you, hit the right arrow with the left one still activated. If you time it well, you have like a 50% chance to win (it is still a too short timing). And in around three hits, the boss dies. See you in the treasure cave !"}],"images":["ld34\/57149-fceec488910b4b42c44b0997461130de.jpg","ld34\/57149-74cbf21943dc230bb72f26e6273a0a48.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/julien-romero.fr\/game\/pickbuild\/index.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/aun.itch.io\/pickbuild","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/aun.itch.io\/pickbuild","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"4695","g_author":"57149","g_event":"LD34","g_eventkey":"31","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"4682","g_title":"Pick&amp;Build","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","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\/\/511439\/57149-shot0-1450046242.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/57149-shot1-1450046242.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Here is my submission for Ludum Dare 34 !\r\n\r\nIt was as fun to do. I wanted to use the two themes. I started with the ideas of two buttons which can control different things in different context. Here, the left and right arrow are used to move left and right, to move a sword or to send back a power ball to an enemy. Next, I wanted my game to grow. I thought that it would be interesting to get items which improve the game. Then, you start the game with nothing but hitbox-like, with few information to recognize what the object is and the more items you get, the better the game is.\r\n\r\nI did the game with Game Maker, Promotion and SFXR. It was my first game with Game Maker, I did the previous Ludum Dare with libgdx. Game maker is simpler :)\r\n\r\nThe goal is simple : collect elements of the game to build it and kill all your enemies.\r\n\r\nControls : \r\nLeft and right array.\r\n\r\n<spoiler>\r\nFor the boss, you can send him back his power balls. Just load the power of your shield with left arrow and press right arrow when the ball touches the shield.\r\n<\/spoilers>\r\n\r\nWhat can come next ?\r\nMore levels can be added. I first of all wanted to do some kind of proof of concept.\r\n\r\nEnjoy ;)","title":"Pick&amp;Build"}
