I miss a little bot to completely try the game\n\nNice music, and neat simple graphics as well as animations\nJust by playing alone, I don't really imagine how you can pray without being hit immediately...\nI think it's just too simple for a barbarian-like to give a good gameplay.\n\n\n\n(Bug ? : praying does not work if you're not oriented to the right)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Nakami","author_uid":"1127467","time":"2020-04-20T21:50:39Z","epoch":1587419439,"modified":1587419439,"text":"Cool pixel art and music.\nTo be honest I did read the description before launching the game and I try to make damage for a while before admitting that I should read the description before playing games :p","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"AdamCYounis","author_uid":"1159630","time":"2020-04-21T08:04:47Z","epoch":1587456287,"modified":1587456287,"text":"I like the idea of making a 2P fighting game for ludum dare. Multiplayer games in general don't get much of a chance here, especially ones that are trying to do something different, which yours is. That said, I struggle a little bit to see the creative decision-making that would make me excited in a fighting game. It seems like a \"solved\" game in terms of choices (always pray ASAP, then attack if you're losing and hope the other player doesn't pray sooner than you after getting hit). I wonder if there was a ranged attack or an advantage for standing closer to the plant, if that would help create that extra dimension.\n\nThanks for the game, keep experimenting with ideas like this! I appreciate playing them :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Sergei","author_uid":"1011728","time":"2020-04-22T12:02:08Z","epoch":1587556928,"modified":1587556928,"text":"Nice gameplay! Could not completely get used to the controls\/attack timings, though.
