MACHO KNIGHT IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!
Theme:
Entire Game on One Screen, I interpreted the word screen as the definition for protection and shielding. You play as the mighty Macho Knight. Macho Knight only has one goal in mind, to protect his Lover from the Hooligans that are trying to kidnap her. You must use your mighty Macho Shield (machoman belt) to fling the hooligans off the fort!
How Long Will You Be Able To Defend Off The Hooligans?
Will You Be Able To Save Your One And Only Lover?
Will These Questions Stop?
Well, Find Out By Playing The Game!

Controls
Right Mouse Click To Move Right
Left Mouse Click To Move Left
Techniques
1. Enemies will fly further if they are hit whilst airborne
2. Boost off by facing in the opposite direction of your incoming enemies
3. Macho Knight's shield can wear off enemies stamina, making them fall down to the ground (note: point not awarded)
Good Luck and may the best Macho Knight Win!

Okay, I loved the graphics of this game. It was so silly, watching macho's little blue helmet thing flap around. It felt satisfying to run into baddies. Really enjoyed it!
I didn't like macho games, when men fight for women's and woman's just watch...
It's weird.
But the idea is good, easy to play, easy to understand, good music and good game!
Very charming. The graphics are quite nice, and the gameplay itself feels very good. The music, which it's good, doesn't really seem to fit with the aesthetic, however.
I laughed out loud when I first understood the objective =) Nothing like getting bad guys off your tower by ramming into them! really liked the sprite art and oooo, that pixel sky...
@PoQA Games, ahaha congrats! you are the first person to calm the macho highscore!
Also thanks for all your feedback :)
Really nice game! Graphics is gorgeous and also the story! Pretty fun to play
@VictorL sorry to hear that you got a fatal error, could you explain around when it occurred?
Very nice entry!
Great graphics and gameplay, without much work it can be a good moblile game!
The music reminds me of FF9 :D
Wow!!! Nice game.
It was pretty fun to play. Music was pretty fun.
Really fun game! Easy to play and easy to understand.
I think you could make cool physicks and some bonuses
5 star to the audio! good graphic, simple game play! fatal error in unity:) But still a good game!
Very solid work. Simple gameplay and good art/audio made for a good experience. Good job, Can't see much wrong with it at all.
Nice concept! I like everything about it, except that the controls are a bit too simple... But that's how you made it, it's not my game :) good job with the graphics and audio!
BUG: Content was stopped because a fatal error was detected. I just did not touch anything and let the two swordsmen converge on the hero and princess.
Interesting little game, very simple yet fun. The inertia thing feels kind of weird though, I got more flight out of the bad guys be running at them from a shorter distance
The game is pretty simple but feels right. The first 20 enemies are a bit boring because it's just click & wait after that point the game shows his potential! Very nice controls/concept/gameplay after all. The very basic feeling of protecting someone while becoming weaker and weaker is quite interesting.
@digibody thanks for the feedback on the fatal error, i seem to have a few people with the same causes. By any chance are you using a mac?
Overall thanks for all the wonderful feed backs! much appreciated
ALSO don't forget to put your highscores on the comment section :) I would like to see how your runs go!
I was playing on mac - in Firefox knight always runs to the left and game soon crashes, in Safari the controls are ok but when enemies reach princes the game crashes.
Anyway, I liked graphics and the overall mood of the game :)
Lovely pixel art with a cool dead animation :-)
Well done!
The gameplay, mood, and graphics are very good. It crashed when I lost, but was great fun until then. (in safari)
@Troilk & @eyeofbri Sorry to hear the game crashed, I seem to have a problem with the game running for mac computers, I however seemed to have fixed the problem with the application version, so if the web build doesn't work for you please give the application a go :D
Overall thanks for all the wonderful feedback much appreciated
I got a high score of 50. :)
This was really easy to learn and fun to play! This is definitely one of those LD games that you could sell with more content added. Great pixel art, the music is thematic and not distracting. The color palette is very good, and you give great instructional documentation!
Great job! Thank you for sharing your game. :)
Stunning artwork! Simple, but very fun! Maybe some different enemy types or power ups may make the game a little deeper. Cool stuff!
Very nice game! The artwork is really god, animations are nice too. Simpe mechanics but very fun.
oh boy - that was fun - i loved it when the guys go flying - great job
Super cool! All my criticisms are "I want more!" :D
The way the game controlled felt very good, I loved pushing people back. I would have liked a goal number to hit, maybe levels or powerups.
I love the way the instructions were written, that's awesome. Also the game looks wonderful. Awesome stuff!
cute art, but there wasn't a whole lot to the game other than running left and right (unless I was missing something?)
Cute graphics, great music! Not sure about the left/right mouse button controls. It's kind of a pain on my Mac's touchpad. Would just as soon use arrow keys.
Great job!
Mechanically, this game suffers from being too simple. I was able to get to a high score of 260+, and the challenge was not increasing at all. My strategy was very simply just running back and forth, which was not particularly interesting. I also noticed some issues with the sound - when you knock a guy off the side the camera shake causes a slight Doppler effect in the music which sounds like an audio glitch. This was particularly pronounced when I had the game zoomed in while using it in web player mode. The sprites for the macho knight and the girl were super cute, and the music set a fun and quirky tone for the game which matched the gameplay and visuals. I'm interested in your screenshots because they show the fort from a wider angle than I saw in game - this makes me wonder if I was missing something. I feel like you probably could have pushed the mechanics a little harder and made this into a really fun game. Overall though, I had fun, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with for the next LD! Thanks for sharing your game with me!
I could not move the knight with left and right buttons they were just changing knight direction. I could use arrow instead so I was able to play the game. The game was fun, but I was very frustrated by not being able to jump, especially when I land behind an ennemy and have to follow him or even push him in the princess arms... :-/ The music and arts are gold and they really go along.
Really loved the cute little graphics! As others have said, it's a little too simple to be as fun as it could be. I also would have enjoyed it more if the camera were panned out, I wanna see these baddies fall to their deaths!
Cute graphics. Simple but fun game! I Included it in part 19 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/hTIxzyGfxwg

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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
The graphics and gameplay are very good and the game is very fun.
An error has occurred. My character went flying round and gave fatal error in unity.
