It made me happy to play this compared to the hundreds of other games to frustrate me so much. I really like the graphics and the audio fits well into the game. You could probably make this a full blown game if you put the required effort into it but it may take several months to complete it to a publishing level. Don't give up on this project! Great job! :D"},{"author_name":"vividhelix","author_uid":"35713","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 4:35am","epoch":1440477000,"text":"interesting balance, i just wish the gameplay was faster. very nice feel overall!"},{"author_name":"peterkirk","author_uid":"42239","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 5:58am","epoch":1440481980,"text":"It felt a bit slow at times and I hoped it could have had a bit more strategy to it.

The concept is clean, simple, and executed really well! I could see how this could be expanded upon! I loved the animations and lighting. The options for draining vs devouring are a really nice solution for progression. \r\rAs for things that could be tweaked to push this to excellent, have a visual indicator of who's turn it is including your own. Maybe even having a turn order visual. Having a way to see what the skills are and what they do \/ cost. Enemy health indicators (that's kind of up to personal taste though). \r\rAs for balance, the random output of enemies is nice but can be unforgiving. It would be nice if there were some way of getting HP back from elves as there were many times when I'd be flooded by elves leaving me with no way to regain HP.\r\rAll nitpicks though. This was really nice. I could see this doing really well on my iPhone too!"},{"author_name":"bombjack","author_uid":"18768","time":"Sep 8, 2015 @ 10:43am","epoch":1441708680,"text":"I'm not a fan of the gameplay. the art is simple but nice."},{"author_name":"Omiya Games","author_uid":"20557","time":"Sep 12, 2015 @ 11:41pm","epoch":1442100960,"text":"Pretty game, but I would have liked it if the enemy attack went by a lot faster. Maybe have all of them attack or move at once? It just felt like there were a lot of waiting.\r\rThe UI could use some polish as well. Since the "End Feast" button was in the center, it was easy to miss the "Devour" and "Drain" button. It would be nice if usability in the game was improved.\r\rOther than that, the attacks I had didn't quite make me feel powerful, so those could use some enhancements."},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Oct 19, 2015 @ 10:29pm","epoch":1445293440,"text":"Cool game.

It is your job to kill them, and then feast upon them to grow stronger.\r\n\r\nTL:DR:\r\nKeep in mind this is a turn based game- I didn't quite get to finish the intro, so you're thrown right into the action. You will unlock skills and spells as you progress. The game can be hard at the beginning (Especially due to the randomness) but once you get some more abilities it should be easier.\r\n\r\nEssentially it is all about balancing devouring and draining! Have fun!\r\n\r\nAbout the submission:\r\n\r\nMost sounds are made by myself, or are modifications of others people work. External sounds are all from freesounds.org\r\n\r\n\r\n#### About updated web version ####\r\nFixed some bugs, and general balancing to make the game more entertaining. Some bugs remain, but not major impact.\r\n\r\nThe downloadable versions are -not- updated, and still contain the original submitted versions.","title":"The Lair"}
