I am a sucker for animated menus.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The sound design overall is pretty rough, I found myself reaching for the mute button very quickly.  The enemies seem to have a little too much health, I could rarely knock them down in time despite spamming arrows into them.  Also consider making your fonts a little crisper, pixelated text is harsh on the eyes.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I can see it being very fun with a bit of polish and shine though!"},{"author_name":"AWOL","author_uid":"81286","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 12:07am","epoch":1472515320,"text":"I liked the Idea. But your physics are off and your projectiles fall flat. If you didn't have time to fix that you could have just made cannon balls instead of arrows that don't fall right. I couldn't kill the bigger enemy's what was with that. Honestly if you fix this it could do well on Game Jolt or as a mobile app even."},{"author_name":"jakatpemadi","author_uid":"111929","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 12:29am","epoch":1472516640,"text":"I don't know why but I addicted with the music. I think some enemy have too much health and sometimes the spells have delays, so it miss the target.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, I am confident that you can create better graphic and music. Keep up your good work!!!

The tone here is good, the art is funny though some areas could use some polish.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The physics are actually really good, the problem is that the arrow sprite doesn't rotate correctly (causing the arrows to fall flat sometimes) - you could probably fix this with some tweaking.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Finally, you spelled Defense wrong? Unless it's a fence pun?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, great game, you should be very proud of it!"},{"author_name":"TeamKawaiiju","author_uid":"65838","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 2:49am","epoch":1472525040,"text":"I didnt think the music was too bad-didnt have headphones on though. i did have a problem with the arrows having no effect on the big goblins though i peppered them but nothing happened."},{"author_name":"Iseeicy","author_uid":"111459","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 2:50am","epoch":1472525100,"text":"Sadly I could not get this to run correctly :( .

The problems I have with this is that the learning curve is way too steep for a game like this. The huge goblins are really hard to take down and they already begin to show up in the first level. Some of the goblins are so small it is hard to notice them. Also some more effects would be nice to make the arrow shots feel more impactful. If you have to spam arrows to kill the goblins, might as well make it full automatic so the player's fingers wont tire. Otherwise good job and good luck for future games."},{"author_name":"Skye","author_uid":"112681","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 11:59am","epoch":1472558040,"text":"This is a fun game, though I didn't really understand what I was doing.\r<br\/>However, once I got used to the controls, it was fairly easy although a bit strange."},{"author_name":"Iseeicy","author_uid":"111459","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 12:29pm","epoch":1472559840,"text":"@Senor Salty I was running it on windows 10, 64 bit."},{"author_name":"thatsBamboo","author_uid":"109999","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 1:36pm","epoch":1472563860,"text":"Sounds like I'm having the exact same problem as Iseeicy, Runs with a black screen and music.
