The Hallowed Orb

[ekun]

Hey guys!

Long time SFML user here. I wanted to share the Ludum Dare game I made using SFML (again).

It's called The Hallowed Orb.

Here's the link: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=3876

I also streamed my development, so you can check out the VODs and my process here if you'd like: www.twitch.tv/ekunuke/profile/pastBroadcasts



cheers!

Reminds me a lot to Risk of Rain game (its a good thing, good work!)

Thanks, JuDelCo!

Yeah I can see some similarities with RoR

I've been watching your stream recordings, and I've got to say that your game looks awesome for only a 48-hour window. Good work!

It's awesome! And bloody hard too! I've got to the wave 7, it seemed less difficult than the previous one, swarming with shielded frogs, but I had only 1 life left and failed... Still trying to overpass my record. Is there a finite number of levels? I guess there are 10 or less, and there is a boss in the last one. I want to finish this game so bad I've spent so much time on it already, but I can't help it, it's so addicting

thanks for the feedback!

Yep there's only 10 levels, with a boss on the last one. The game is indeed really tough, please let me know if you successfully beat it!

Got to the wave 10 few times... Each time he kills me mercilessly. Would be changing some variables in the source code considered cheating?

I wouldn't consider it cheating, haha.

I didn't really have time to balance the game during Ludum Dare. If you come up with some good and fair changes, consider submitting a pull request

Nice game! 

I have a suggestion: can you also include some level upgrades and weapons stuff? That would make your game more better.
