5/5 very original entry. Diablo mood was perfect. I was able to win all the waves and drop a legendary sword. Very nice!

Sorry could not download due to windows defender blocking your game. Maybe export to WebGL to make people want to play and rate the game. But from what I have seen from the images it looks like a good game none the less! Good Job! Me and my team released our game and needs more people to play + rate it would be appreciated if you played and rated our game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/crumble-1

It's ok, but interesting and the gameplay is obvious so it got a good feel to the game.

It's a very interesting concept given you dont control the main character but still perform a important role, as the warrior only seems to know how to bash the enemies, break the weapons and demand a new one.

However i found odd that you guys did the art of the game and opted out of graphics ratings. Is there a reason for that?

Anyway, nice job.

The LD site was very slow and was giving the problem of saving the options. I put it now to rating everything!

Cool, but a little hard to understand at first. I found myself just wandering around doing nothing because I had no idea what to do. Art is great, and graphics are neat! Good job!

What a great Idea! One of those things that's been in the back of my mind for a very long time has been to put the player in the perspective of the follower (of the hero), you did just that, I felt like I was playing a helper to a diablo character.

Cool idea on the theme, however i didnt ever feel like i was ever running out of space, i think it would be fun if the shop gave the option to buy more objects that would make you fill up your inventory faster.

Loved the art and animations, really nicely executed . A fun call back to Diablo.
Well done.

I really like this kind of game, the art is pretty nice tho. But I think this perspective and mood make this game feel a bit boring, platform could be a choice. I think it will be much better if you can give the player an item combination feature. Good job btw

Wow, great game! I love the main idea of the game, even if I didn't fully understand how everything worked in the first place ^^

Other than that, I didn't truly felt like running out of space, but I see where the theme is supposed to be. Anyway, great work on the art as well, and great game overall. Congrats!

I like this a lot. There is quite a few inventory management games in this LD edition but this one definitely stands out. The whole idea of being a squire to the hero is neat and i love the Diablo aesthetic, really adds to the experience. Gameplay is pretty solid and difficulty curve is just right, later you really have to manage inventory and be on top of things. It would be cool if you traveled with your hero around the dungeon but with LD time limit, it's still pretty impressive. One thing i could point out is that using a potion is a little intuitive at first, i tried dragging it on health bar before RMB it. Graphics are very nice and music definitely fits. Well made game!
