Fire Festival by commanderstitch

[raw]
made by commanderstitch for Ludum Dare 55 (COMPO)

This is surprisingly not about a fire festival. your trip was interrupted by the sudden arrival of people at your farm.

information, ... yes. Information.

ah yes. Here is some info.

default controls, hmmm wasd. I recommend changing the "BLOCK" button to right mouse click. I found it much easier to 'block' while moving around. you can ignore the other buttons, like aim and crouch.

Just walk over the sheep and guide them back to the farmhouse or 'safe house' haha.

if it gets too hard, for some reason, remember where the wolves have been summoned. :-)

- The righting and effects were cool but made it a bit hard to read
- The wolves were chasing me but eating the sheep, that felt a bit weird, also it seemed like they swallowed the sheep and if red riding hood has taught me something it's that if you cut a wolf open the things he ate come out.
- I was shooting and blocking but I don't know what effects it had, the wolves seemed to die, but I also was getting stopped and eventually eaten
- there were other things running around with some sort of hp above them, I have no idea what they did.

Insane in the best way as always. :D I had one issue (not something I think you can do anything about), I have a 3 monitor setup, and kept moving the mouse out of the game clicking and there by putting the game in the background, and when I returned, I was dead.
Loved the art, the style and the sound fx, very nice game as always. Great job. :thumbsup:

Another masterpiece of the commander! :) I hope one day all of your creations will form a stichverse or something :smile: Good entry as always! But I couldn't really find a good strategy because wolves were always following me. So if I got some sheep to follow me, the wolves would just start following as well, eating half of my herd by the time I reach the house. :\ Anyway, keep up the good work! :)

Hilarious as always! The audio is really funny, and the texts... oh the texts! In-game and in-console it's a poem by itself! :D I believe that should have its name and international recongition as a regular artistic movement.
And finally, I know I know what the wizard is :D

Anyway, I feel bad about those poor lambs, I cannot shoot fast enough! Let me try it again.

Unique font and art style! Took a few tries but I became a winner for real(?) with score 5632542. Not sure if there is a good strategy but I think most of the sheep got eaten before they could reach the farmhouse anyway... those wolves track you well and are hard to hit/defeat.

They've eaten my cursor before I could do anything about this! X_X Jokes apart, for a Commander Stitch game this one makes a surprising amount of sense while being so in line with your other games style-wise and in difficulty. I'm 100% satisfied, it's exactly what I came for: graphics is simple and silly (boy oh boy, these wolves are THICC), sounds are ridiculous, overall feeling is just like you've managed to get me to a fever dream without a fever. Certified Commander Stitch classic. :thumbsup:

Love the aesthetic from the introduction to the game play itself. The graphics were great they had so much charm - same with the sound. Shortly after starting it all turned into a glorious cacophony. Everything worked so well together.

I wasn't really sure what I was doing half the time. I kind of felt like it was both too difficult and too forgiving.. but I got a victory screen and had a bunch of fun doing it :)

The main selling point of Java is that it's supposed to be cross platform.

As was stated earlier by others, this game is quite the fever dream. All the audio being basically acapella and strange quips further lends to this vibe. I somehow won, but I'm not sure if I did it properly, as I ended up being chased everywhere by wolves and I wasn't able to defeat a single summoner. Other than that, before things got hectic, I was able to round up some sheep to the house. Good work!

How did I not notice that I hadn't looked at this one yet?...

As usual I didn't get very far, but it's still always fun to get the commanderstitch experience!
