Wow, thanks a lot meek! :D Yeah, I did the art with my Wacom tablet. Wanted to make a ton more environment art, but simply ran out of time.
This game is just great fun. After losing a few limbs and still moving forward its definitely one of my favorites this time around.
So jealous of you artist types! Fun game, great style, and yeah limbs falling off rules. Good show.
That was awesome. Only problems were: it was kind of short, there were too many berserker potions, and things got behind you really easy.
Utterly ridiculous. Huge fun. The controls could be tighter, and the volume is a little out of control when the player dies...But otherwise, I'm impressed at the amount of art you got done and the hilarity of the physics.
The music really fits and the fighting mechanic is charming, good stuff.
great all around; save points could have made this game less tedious because it was so easy to die. The movement was hilarious. His face reminded me of a titan from Attack of the Titans. Great mood overall, and really fun!
Hilarious game. Really nice execution overall (pun intended -.-).
This game is hilarious. Well done! I love that you can start to "go to pieces" without dying. It gives the game even more derpy charm.
Very nice! Interesting way of approaching the theme, and it was fitting that using the potions didn't always mean you survived longer, but only decreased your control of the player.
we play with two players, it was pretty fun!
But why berserk don't make we invincible?????
Haha copain, that's awesome! I would never have thought to play the game in co-op mode.
I didn't make the player invincible, because to me berserking is all about reckless disregard for personal safety. Perhaps invincibility would be better from a gameplay point of view though - I dunno. Thanks for the feedback!
Nice game. I like the potion part, it reminds me of an old game The Castle Adventure. You had to drink beer to beat an enemy.
This is a crazy game... a really fun game. A lot of laughs when the berseker loses his arms. Good job!
Dagnabbit! You have to finish this game and release it! 5/5
oh my god this game is hilarious! its the total package, great art, super moody, completely over the top and silly. loved it!
wow, I didn't believe that such quality is possible in this short amount of time. Great work!
Well aren't you one goddamn talented fellow! :D Really great package! The controls added a lot to the humor, artwork was really beautiful, audio was top notch, an all around great entry! :)
Haha, I love how he swings what remains of his arm like crazy.
Great entry
This game is sooo fun!!! Really great art and I love how you can keep on without any legs left :) Reminds of that famous Holy grail scene with the black knight!
This is awesome! Sadly felt a bit slow, but I love the concept and gameplay. Great job!
That was ridiculously fun. I discovered that using the swords as divining rods of death worked better than swinging them, but that was equally fun, especially when going backwards.
Yeah it's a bit like dowsing but with more blood, haha :) Thanks for the kind words Empyrealhell, means a lot to me!
This is one of the most insane games I've ever played. The graphics are really good but the fact that you can loose body parts and still go (while listening to a music piece that made me really nervous), makes this a really unique and overall absolutely great Ludum Dare entry! The mood is just beyond words. Keep it up!
Awesome entry. Probably my favorite so far. Great art, great mechanics, great music (love the track). My only wish would be for checkpoints (still trying to finish it). Absolutely great effort.
Thanks George. I just played Sunk and it's brilliant! I felt so sad when the guy's head went under for the last time :( Hits you right in the feels.
The art is great, also I liked the potion bottles hanging on the waist.
Very fun, and definitely commendable for 48 hours. Wow!
Dear god this is marvellous. I love the sqop-style swinging. The potions hanging at the character and rolling on the floor are great touches :D
That was so metal I can't even hold my laughter. For some reason my berserker get's stuck any time I click the mouse button.
Even though "running" without legs and just one arm killing things really made my day.
Wow... I played it thinking it was a jam game, but I just saw that it's a compo one... Nicely done!
Lot's of cool point for being able to rip each limb of enemies. XD
But controls felt clunky. Movement was floaty and the swords didn't move exactly like I wanted too... Although I was able to hit what I wanted.
Still, it's really fun! =D

MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
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.
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.
Sublime. Did you do all the artwork yourself in that time? Utterly impressed! Love that you can lose limbs but carry on, though slightly hobbled.
