Really cool idea! :D Love the art!
Love this entry ! Simple yet enjoyable ! Took me a while to figure out what I needed to do, but once you get the hang of it it's challenging ! Well done, thank you ! Small remark maybe, adding a visual effect for the skill would increase the gampeplay so much ! Well done !
Thanks for playing, i saw it on your stream. We wanted to add an attack animation but we really needed to finish the web build and there was no time left XD
my highscore is 1066
I managed to get one of 1.3k so imbetter than you
beat you with 1092, but getting more is a trial of patience
Luck is definitly also a factor + at some point the spawning delay goes down to 0.05s
Part of the luck/skill is that I noticed that some bumps with the barrels will send the king forward not back.
