Wow! We really got this finished.
Team Flare presents : Blackwald Forest
A game completely done from scratch within this Ludum Dare.
From the black forest made with the black forest.
Making of's of the whole process involved with such a big team and all the 3D scanning will follow soon :)
It's a big download, so be patient :) We'll provide builds for other versions soon.
Beneath the Schwarzwald lures an lonely lovely imp.
He and the princess fell in love.
But the King, is against this tender relationship and sends out the bravest knights of them all to get her into a proper relationship.
HOW TO PLAY :
-Use right mouse to walk.
-Left mouse to pull a lever.
-Knights must not reach the princess.
-Use the imp's traps to kill 'em all!!

Tanja, Tom, Peer, Rebekka, Timo, Jan, Fred, Olaf, Benno, Benito, Steffi.
Special thanks to Thomas, Marian and Benjamin. And the old man.
Happy bloodbath! :)
Edit :
We uploaded builds for Mac and Linux, corrected missing teammember in the titlescreen (sorry Olaf!), and decreased the filesize (aka who needs mipmaps)
Enjoy! :)

Cool art! Always wondered if something was setting up traps in platformers on purpose.
Very good and exciting game. But i would like another kind of controlls. Thank you for this game.
Nice gameplay and art is very very cool. But it was was too big, it too some minutes to load it here, maybe it could be a little more faster.
Thanks alot :) We'll try to get some better compression for the textures to make the game abit smaller.
Very nice idea, but the controls seemed kind of clunky. Maybe optional keyboard controls could work better.
The development was pretty good, game play felt a little bit stale but other then that, good game!
Incredibly polished game for a jam, well done. I enjoyed the mechanic of slaughtering the invading knights as well. And i really liked the video intro.
Really nice art! Controls are a little unresponsive sometimes though, but overall it's very good!
Very pretty, loved the graphics style, audio was great too.
The controls were a big painpoint for me though, too sluggish and clunky. Takes a good amount of the fun out of it. :( Great entry though :D
That was amazing... There was something oddly satisfying about seeing those knights get slaughtered, especially when squishing them with the rocks. ;) Great job!
I feel like a terrible person for playing this.
The polish is astounding but the controls feel kinda rigid.
Awesome !
The music and the graphics are fantastics !
and the gameplay is so cool (:
Overall a great game! Very well polished and a fun experience.
This is sooo frickin' polished, hot damn nice work y'all. Llllloved it.
The game is gorgeous. Even though this is 3D, at first glance it looked like something you would find in stop motion animation.
Good job on the intro video - it's really minimal but works well. A bit shorter would have been nice though :)
Well done game and the opening intro was something I hadn't seen yet, so nice job. Also fun to kill off those pesky knights.
Sublime work ! Absolutely amazing, the sounds and music, the intro video, the wonderful graphics... The ending is also amazing, the lose video is great. Amazing work guys !
Wow, the intro/outro is just amazing. The graphics speaks for himself and the game concept is hilarious. This is really art! 5 of 5 Stars for your team.
great game, great art, fun to play! Not much challenge but loved killing those dudes.
Punish the knights! Yeah!
The graphics are so beautiful. The best in this LD I think! I'm standing there looking at the 3D. Wow! You guys knew what you were doing!!!!!!!
The game could be a little more engaging, but it's a good start! Are you developing further?
Lovely to see this, top marks for graphics!!
Awesome game! Glad I've found it, it's getting so much less attention than it deserves!
Got stuck on a few bugs. Had some trouble with changing the active station of the character also. But overall it had humor and was fun to play, with interesting graphics. :)
Woah, looks very good, and reminds me visually of Little Big Planet :D and I love concept. It's good to be bad once in a while :)
Absolute loveliness! <3 Main character anim seemed unusual, but it might be the speed he moves out. That's a *very* pedantic and minor point for what is an amazing entry. Well done!
A very nice and polished game!
It looks amazing for a LD entry and plays very well - good job!
Weird mix of english and german in the title and description (why not just stick with Schwarzwald? Or Black Forest?), but apart from that the presentation is something very unique for a LD game. Good job.
Gameplay fits the theme and plays well, too.
Very nice entry !
The controls where not that easy on a trackpad, but I really liked your result
Nice work !
Looking for the next par of you making of :)
Cheers !
Great job. I got few problems with controls but otherwise it's perfect!
It's like a true fairy tale with awesome graphics.
Amazeballs.
Well done guys, interesting mechanic and really high-quality visuals!
Quite unique game loosely coupled with the theme. Fantastic graphics and nice sounds. The gameplay is also interesting for a while...
Good job guys, that's a really nice game with a unic design! =)
(just there is a bug on level 2, no any new knights was spawning when I reach 12/14)
Very well executed game. The art style is quite awesome. Had fun, thanks!
When i see the graphics ... WOOAHHH !!! Awesome !
The animations are impressive.
And when the knights dies ... FATALITY !
The sounds are great too.
The end video is very cool and made me laugh a lot.
An excellent entry.
11 peoples ! you are an hell of a team !
I've not manage to move the character to see what's coming, maybe some traveling instead of clicking on the next trap to move him.
Woah, the production value on this is amazing! Loved the intro video and graphics and narration!
Wow, cool graphics and interesting game, hope it will be further developed.
Ahah I wasn't expecting this intro that was really cool :D !
Graphics were absolutely awesome ! Gameplay was original but maybe too repetitive.
Great game anyway :) !
bloody well done - I love the tower defense idea - and the models were great
Very fun and very polished! It would be nice to have a bit more time to scout things out before the knights start spawning.
At first it was confusing which click was for what but then I got used to it.
Great job with the graphics, animations are too simple but the game looks good overall.
Wow, that was simply amazing work, very well done black-forest people!
Superb graphics and mood control, but the gameplay... just lolz
Love it! You know how to entertain me, even with a simple game like this. I could sit here and watch these knights die all day... Does this sound weird?
But seriously, great job on graphics and sound. I love that the atmosphere is kind of dusky, but the silly music and sound effects make it an awesome combination of mysticality and black humour.
Thanks for this, and congratulations on your victory in advance!
Wow, just perfect ! Cool graphics, nice polished, excellent tower defense game style ! nice Intro and Outro ^^
Very fun game!
The narration was a great special touch.
And wow... that scenario!
Cool game! Except it took me a few times to get it to work. This is due to a bug that happens when you try to crush one of the knights with a block. If you miss by a little bit, the knight will turn around and if they make it all the way back to the beginning of the level they will walk off of the map making the level unbeatable as the knight is still alive.
Nice game! Cool sound effects and graphics. Gruesome deaths :(
Hehe this is like reverse-lemmings :P might need a little more gameplay polish (too much latency between clicking on a trap and the trap being activated IMHO), but certainly from a graphical and audio point of view the game is just beautiful ^^ I really love the trailer too, you guys are insane ;)

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.
Very nice game! IT's an interesting adaption of the theme and the game is very polished!
