SWORDS & HAMMERS - BUILD AND DESTROY

Swords & Hammers is a fast-paced action-packed strategy game. The map is divided into 12 territories where you have to build a fortress or destroy the opponent's.

It was made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 31 (reached the 4th place) and it's an impressive demonstration of smoothness and cleverness. Although the AI has some issues and controls can sometime be hard to tame (it was probably made for touch-screens), there is no learning curve and it's a thrilling challenge.

MOOON: WHEN A PLATFORMER MEETS MATISSE

An original platformer with nice puzzles to solve, fun level-design and an atypical Matissian design. The music does not exactly fit the mood but it's an overall great experience. 

I usually get quickly bored with platformers, but I had fun with this one. (make up your own mind)
