I was also very confused about how to play.\n\nAt first, I couldn't seem to get anything to happen when I clicked on fire or sword. Except MP would decrease, and no enemy HP would decrease! Eventually a little red square did finally appear under the cursor (maybe only when I pressed the fire during the right time relating to turn end?). And then I could use my red-square-of-death to annihilate all enemies with abandon (and without any loss of MP! (which is good, because I was basically out by then)).\n\nAlso, I almost gave up on the game before realizing that you can indeed pan the camera around by moving the mouse--it's just that the region of the window is like four pixels from each border.\n\nBut it seems like there are some solid elements here for a fun game! Nice sounds, nice art.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ldjam-media\/sha256\/de\/de26ef9df9b95998faa5d16383e86aa7a65b6cd33cd8e28feee751268e93a2d0.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/hoonster83.itch.io\/castle-defend","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"82048","g_author":"1081086","g_event":"LD50","g_eventkey":"110","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"386615","g_title":"Castle Defend","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"2","g_site2_node_id":"280992","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"280992","n_urlkey":"386615","n_parent":"276397","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/50\/castle-defend","n_slug":"castle-defend","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"81086","n_created":"1648601224","n_modified":"1779491921","n_version":"876028","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD50","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":1,"author":81086,"body":"The game is \"technically\" finished.\n\nI feel like I put more effort into finishing the game rather than making the game actually fun.\nBecause there is no tutorial, you may need help (you definitely do need help) understanding how to play the game.\n\nUsing the mouse cursor, you can scroll up\/down\/left\/right.\nThe sword\/fireball button can be used to damage 'evil creatures.'\nThey will, however, use up Mana Points.
