Nice. Press any key to revive didn't seem to work. This is a nice concept for a game... very Hammerwatch-y and addictive. Love the sound effects, pixel art is cool.

I like the sprites and the tile system for the world. The events for the artifacts are really tense and make for great tension points. The only thing is that when you die you respawn in the same place. Good overall game."},{"author_name":"QwaKlak","author_uid":"112321","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 12:01pm","epoch":1472471760,"text":"Good fun but no chelenge after 5lvl http:\/\/screenshot.sh\/owpufRoMKiGOk"},{"author_name":"xzippyzachx","author_uid":"92760","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 12:39am","epoch":1472517240,"text":"Nice game very fun"},{"author_name":"steph88","author_uid":"113244","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 6:03am","epoch":1472536680,"text":"Hi, nice game and congratulations !

I haven't decided if it is better to be a wizard of fire or a sorcerer of falling earth. Either was it was a lot of fun. Simple mechanics and easy to learn. Great job. I would suggest that perhaps the character could move a little bit faster though, dodging enemies wasn't exactly a thing."},{"author_name":"RttStudio","author_uid":"91710","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 2:07am","epoch":1472608920,"text":"fun game, loved the tiles and the art in general.

Rather than 10x castings speed at lvl 10 make that 2-3X. Each level gives a less visible boost, but the player will feel the change and you evade power creep.\r\rA third option, the most preferred yet most expensive, is making each upgrade into its own skill\/action. This is what ARPGs do to great effect, but of course 42 hours probably isn't enough to create enough interesting, well polished skills."},{"author_name":"LittleDoomDevs","author_uid":"112907","time":"Sep 4, 2016 @ 8:03am","epoch":1472975880,"text":"First impressions:\rReally awesome game :)\rI like the RPG style and leveling up and upgrade system.\rI couldn't see any use for the stone spell tho.\rThe art and sound are nice and they create a nice mood.\rI also like the fact that you respawn instantly without losing anything, which makes it good for LD entry. Maybe for published game you can change that, but for a small test it was a good choice :)\rAs a note, it doesn't seem to work in Firefox, dunno why.\r\rCheers,\rMorco (LittleDoomDevs)"}],"images":["ld36\/8363-73bb11d7e42752b5fa30607fe1578218.jpg","ld36\/8363-cd90682dd5b86da79d8592c1275ffe59.jpg","ld36\/8363-63a2aa092c469e871480ceb7428f9641.jpg","ld36\/8363-4a223045fdf5fa04fba0fd6c353113a5.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/showcase.rynti.com\/2016\/ld36\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/showcase.rynti.com\/2016\/ld36\/source.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"555","g_author":"8363","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"540","g_title":"Lost Artifacts","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"18","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\/\/570486\/8363-shot0-1472434845.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/8363-shot1-1472436143.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/8363-shot2-1472436143.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/8363-shot3-1472436143.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"STORY\r\n- You're a wizard who has been ordered to retrieve five\r\n- ancient artifacts that will help in recreating a\r\n- long-lost technology.\r\n\r\nGAMEPLAY\r\n- You have two elemental spells at your disposal that\r\n- you have to use in order to hunt monsters.
