December 14th-17th 2012 :: Theme: You are the Villain
Play as a demon and bring death and destruction to a small village. Cause as much carnage as you can before the timer runs out.
Kill the king for a large point bonus, and destroy buildings to recover your health.
I haven't tested the OS/X or Linux builds, so I can't promise they will work.

This game is realy fun and similar to mine, your game is probubly more fun than mine though.Nice clean graphics too.
Funny game, though a little bit erratic controls :P It would had been really nice to have combos so one could concatenate the killings in different manners. The graphics are realy cool and it is amazing make soldiers fly away with second superpower :D
That was fun, sometimes my arm went crazy while hammering, and shockwave is the best :D
I liked this game. The graphics are crisp, and it's quite fun. I did see my arm going to the heavens sometimes, I think there's a small bug with the hammer animation.
If anything, it could use a bit more variation. other then that, I don't have much to whine, well done!
I had a good time with this one! I like massive destruction and the breaking buildings touch surprised me. Nice use of ExplodingForce! :D
Already the second entry in this direction, very nice done, though the audio feel could be better and the controls are not much fun on a macbook, specially the third button.
And I sliced a house. Sliced! That should be walls and roof flying around instead.
Wow this is a really nice take on the theme. The graphics and movement and everything is great and its fun. I just think the audio could be improved.
very interesting game. I like the concept and the destrucability of the houses. what i didn' t like were the controls. they were too buggy, killing less men and more fun :P you should work a bit around them, i am sure the game experience will benefit a lot :D
Very fun, I especially like the super stretch long arm combo. However, the controls could really use some work.
Good job! It's super fun! More feedback on hits and kills would help, but otherwise it's pretty good! :D
Wow, really good 3D art and animation for the timeframe, well done on that. Fun to play too!
Very nice game! The special powers look good, and smashing soldiers is fun.
It would have been nice to have the option of a chase camera (following behind the demon) and a reminder when there's only, say, 15 seconds left.
That was really fun, I managed to grab almost 14000 points (not sure if the leaderboard is online). It sorta reminded me of Black & White, though I'm sure that minions in B&W couldn't do this with their arms: http://puu.sh/1C37b
loved watching the villagers fly as I bashed the ground. Wish I had more control over the character though
Great game! Looks really good and it was fun to be able to destroy the trees and buildings. I wasn't sure what the hearts were for as the character doesn't seem to have health - only a time limit? I agree with some of the other comments that the controls can be a bit tricky to use, but for a 48hr game, I think they're pretty good! :)
This game was awesome. It is quite satisfying to swing your hammer down into a BIG group of guys and watch them fly across the screen. Overall, well done.
Impressive 3d. I wish there was a rating for technical merit.
The game is pretty fun, but I couldn't seem to get the magic to work. One of your animations appears to be a bit bugged. I can't help but feel this would be better if the player had direct control (WASD - Arrows). Other than that, I can see the effort that went into this and I must say, good job!
Awesome! I tried twice to make it on the highscores, but no luck (or, skill!) I really like the highscores feature. Great graphics and abilities!
the powers are a lot of fun. the bugged out animation you get sometimes when you use your hammer is fun. i like the music too
Yep, the Linux build works great on Ubuntu 12.10. Thanks for making one! (Only oddness I noticed: the Carnage executable doesn't have executable permissions when I extract it. Nothing serious, but you can fix that and then people can just extract and run immediately).
Controls were a little odd. I lost track of where I was moving on more than one occasion. Pretty ambitious graphics, though! Not the prettiest, but it definitely fits together well. I'm impressed that you got that in such a short time :) I really like the leaderboard, and I found myself playing it a few times to improve my score.
Great game! first one I see with leaderboards, A-we-someee! :D
Nice game. Leaderboard - that is good.
Why do people run this giant hamper.. I want to crush them. Error when playing animations.
That king is a HOSS. Several giant hammers to the face and flaming boulders to the spine and he's still running strong! This game really needs some audio variation to let you really sink into it. As it is now, the audio grates on your nerves and kinda pulls you out. But there are tons of nice things here... the physics, the leaderboads, the fun factor, the characters. Good stuff!
Super cool considered the time constraint. However I feel that with your skills you could have done something even better by interpreting the theme less literally.
Really fun game, gonna check up on exactly how you did those highscores because I did that in a game of mine a little while back it wasn't nearly as streamlined it seems. Pity about my hand flying into the sky sometimes - maybe to come crashing down extra hard on those peasants? ;)
Nice toon shading and graphics in general!
Yet it's a bit difficult to press middle button on the touchpad :)
man this looks really good in comparision to most entries, still need to admit though that the fun factor wasnt that huge
Nice work. Its so good when people go flying towards the camera.
Really liked it. The game deserves its name, it was huge massacre ! Nice powers too, but controls are a bit odd.
The most powerful villaint I've ever played! The high score system is really addictive.
Nice game, reminds me of Black&White, though that bug with stretching bone is annoying a bit.
fun game, my mouse say thank you :D
Graphics are nice, its fun to play even though I would prefer different controls.
But good job :)
Excellent work getting characters modeled, rigged, and animated in under 48 hours PLUS come up with some solid gameplay.
A really cool game. Few bugs but nothing serious. The most annoying one was that his arm would extend at random times, but as it doesn't affect game play it didn't really matter. I liked that you have different special powers and even a scoreboard! It all proves that it's a well polished and well thought out game! Good job!
Didn't quite like using left mouse for the movement (would have preferred WASD or Arrow Keys), but really fun.
Good: Fun to chrush people with a big hammer!
Improve: Blood!
The best part is those breakable buildings. But it told me time's up when the countdown remains 1 minutes.
Awesome game. Nice animations, swarming, physics, leaderboards. Some minor glitches with the animations/weight maps, but I know how that is. Would have preferred a web build. Any particular reason you didn't build one?
Anyway, very cool game.
@ghotifrye When I built in Unity WebPlayer the game played at low framerates, and the buggy controls were more noticeable. I had to reduce the maximum number of enemies by a fairly significant amount to get it to run smoothly, and I felt it was an inferior game.
Left and right clicking for controls was a bit tricky. I first tried this windowed, and in all the franctic clicking I created some new folders on my desktop :)
Amazing what you got done in 48 hours in terms of material and functionality. If the game was a bit simpler and more polished it would be one of the best games too.
BTW: fore Mac OS X users, the app as is doesn't work due to a permissions problem. I uploaded a fixed version to:
http://logic-dream.com/ext/CarnageMac.zip
@SXPanda, feel free to link to the fixed version. I only had to add execute permission to the app in the bundle to make it work.
this is pretty cool. controls were a bit challenging. I like the different skills and the destructable environments.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
We’ve identified the problem, and should have the page caching bugs fixed for next Ludum Dare.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Nice game, i was 6th on the leaderboard, yeaaaah !
