Game of the Week Winner

Edited By Guru Rinpoche on 11/16/2007

Edited By Rikus on 11/14/2007

It looks like there haven't been too many games this week, so I whipped one up. You have an axe. You use it to cut people's heads off. It's strangely addictive. (At least I think so.)

The game goes like so:
You wield an axe and chop off the heads of timid soldiers. When you click using the left mouse button, the axe swings quickly. You must hit a soldier while the axe is swinging in order to kill him. The object is to hit as many soldiers in one quick swing as possible.

If you hit only one, your score stays the same. If you miss, you lose a point. If you hit multiple guys, your score is raised (# of guys-1)

This is just a little fun slash em' game, so there's no real story.

(Other than the one in the start screen, about an unruly shop owner and a skeptical customer, oh lord yes!)

The water coolers are frozen, that's how.

BAM!

Hi. Could you add a bit more in depth description? The game looks pretty good but is there a story? What exactly is the game play like? At least a paragraph.

Other than that... downloading.

Well, I played it to the end. The engine works well and it's a fun idea, but it's just too short and simple. It's an interesting concept to control a floating axe and I think you could turn it into a really neat game. But spend some more time with it, add some levels, a better variety of enemies and maybe a boss or two.

Anyway, it's a neat idea, but there's just not enough substance yet.

Is that a glitch or something? I wasn't really voting to "boost" my score, I was just curious to see if it would really work.

feels more like an unfinished engine to me, didn't like the way the camera scrolled very much.

Or if they can, I have some self-voting to do!
Although it's kind of embarrassing to vote for your own game, I mean of COURSE you're going to like your own game right?

"It looks like there haven't been too many games this week, so I whipped one up."
Just wanted to give people some mild entertainment for a dull and listless week. The game is actually a "working concept" file for the Homonculus (demonstrating beheadings) that I changed into a little game.

Did what it said in the game name, nicely. Although there wasn't actually any challenge, there was never more than 3 enemies on the level at any one time, so i don't see how you can lose.

Actually, the enemies keep building up--sit there for a few seconds and you'll see.

But what i mean is, you can kill them all before there's even 4 on the screen.

Shouldn't each person only be able to rate each download once?

Oh. Yeah, the object isn't to kill them all, since they regenerate anyway. The object is to reach 50 points (or maybe 51, I forget) by killing multiple guys at once. It's more a testiment to skill, not just to kill everyone. And the rating you give shows up with every post, I think that's what you're seeing.

I played for about 10 seconds and got bored - You're right, it is rather pointless. By the way I think there is a bug, when I press the arrow keys (left or right) are the soldier's meant to move in those directions?

Not a bug--left over from when it was a working concept file. And wow, if I can get two stars for only entertaining you for 10 seconds, you must be a star ho.

I like the blood spray. It's nicely done.

The game itself is as others said; short and pointless.

I liked it, though.

It's fun the first 30seconds.
I like the blood and how you can continue hitting their bodies and heads after they are cut,to generate a blood rain lol

but like others said way too short,it requires more gameplay.
