It's simple, yet you want to go at it again and again. One of the best I've tested from this jam so far !\r<br\/>The game is very hard, as the monster grows quite fast, and sometimes it feels you die without being in the bad zone.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Is there an end to the game ?"},{"author_name":"A Flat Miner Studios","author_uid":"42150","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 3:43pm","epoch":1450193880,"text":"Very nice artwork!  I found that I had to get really close to actually stab the eyes, then my guy ran so fast that I'd always accidentally run into the monster. Not as easy as it seems"},{"author_name":"pokipsy","author_uid":"56863","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 3:48pm","epoch":1450194180,"text":"Nice game !  \r<br\/>Just a bit too difficult IMO :p"},{"author_name":"Lusmu","author_uid":"8347","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 3:48pm","epoch":1450194180,"text":"Nice, if a bit too hard. The slight movement forward when attacking is kind of annoying when you would really want to stay put, but otherwise well done."},{"author_name":"Bocodillo","author_uid":"55271","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 3:50pm","epoch":1450194300,"text":"Fun and quite a challenge.

The 'music' and graphics complemented the game really well. I think the monster grows too fast, not in a sense of &quot;rate of growth&quot; but how fast the new blocks appear. Many times I was in the middle of a jump and blocks appeared before me without giving me any fighting chance.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Love the spearjump mechanic. It wasn't really needed but you added it anyways, kudos for that."},{"author_name":"publicidadeba","author_uid":"63879","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 4:04pm","epoch":1450195140,"text":"Cool! I really liked the mood with a little balancing (speed the eyes get back to the game) this can be amazing.

Would love gamepad controls for this one.  Graphics are good, although could be clearer just how far it's going to grow (maybe that's the point though).

This is a great concept, and great mood as well. For some reason it took me a while to get the hang of the controls (gamepad controls would be awesome - imagine free aim of the spear with the right stick!); also the collision seemed a bit wonky at times, like I would die when I wasn't quite touching the black. There's also very little time to react when a new eye appears. If you tweaked some of this stuff this would be really fun. I love the sound design too. Great work!"}],"images":["ld34\/60472-af0521df908d362746d306fe8f96dd2f.jpg","ld34\/60472-20663c3cd495bfdab5457aac3d32b7a3.jpg","ld34\/60472-03ff10731eac7a2c2573216d4a4b7a67.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/gbouckaert.itch.io\/the-cursed-queen-of-exobia","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/i5qztws84kq3rzc\/LudumDare34_Exobia_1.zip?dl=0","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/id4jigm661hp3ot\/LudumDare34_Exobia_OSX_1.zip?dl=0","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d2xwOvys1bA","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/02h4scr46zuxtig\/UnityProject_LD34.zip?dl=0","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"4831","g_author":"60472","g_event":"LD34","g_eventkey":"31","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"4929","g_title":"The cursed Queen of Exobia","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"508","g_commentcount":"14","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\/60472-shot0-1450142785.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/60472-shot1-1450192075.gif-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/60472-shot2-1450192075.gif-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Fight against an ever growing monster using your mighty spear to poke it's eyes out.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe mighty Queen of Exobia has fallen to a curse, and a giant, multi-eyed monster has been pouring out of the throne chamber.
