Kobold Siege
KOBOLD SIEGE
With her family kidnapped and eggs stolen, a kobold decides to take on a whole castle, by herself, with only a gun.
------
Kobold Siege is a short run'n'gun metroidvania with a unique style!
It was originally made for the Newgrounds Egg Jam but i didn't end up finishing it on time, so i decided to make it bigger! I think it was really worth it, i really like how it turned out :)
CONTROLS:
WASD or ARROW KEYS to MOVE.
J or Z to FIRE.
K or X to JUMP.
L or C to AIM/INTERACT.
F for FULLSCREEN.
Move the maps with arrow keys or wasd too!
This game couldn't have been made with the help of:
theepicosity - Let me use the music!
SashimiFeast, WalkingMicrowave - voices!
Conejo, Juanba, WalkingMicrowave - testing and help!
Freesounds - sounds!
Possible issues:
-Music slowly breaking - reloading the page should fix it. Try to get to a new checkpoint to save the game, though! (does not happen on downloadable)
-leaving the page and going back might make the chains all wobbly-like (does not happen on downloadable)
-If you shoot the door and the game implodes, and says something about DirectX3D, update your DirectX3D drivers! Here! https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=
-If, after loading the game, stuff is all weird, then it actually didn't detect your oldest savefile. This might be a browser problem (not being able to save). I'm sorry if that happens! (does not happen on downloadable, you just can't load the game)
Also:
-There is a REALLY experimental mobile test. I hope it all works ok, it should! It ran too slow for me, but maybe one day it will be ok. Turn your screen before the game loads!
If possible, download! You'll have the best experience!

I love this guy
he is smol and crazy my favorite combo
The bat chef was worst than the king himself, lol!
Idk if it happens for just me but whenever I shoot the first door the game crashes and I don't see any other way to progress.
I love character design
yey hitless beat all lassie w/ semiauto and killed king first try
so i restarted and lassie took 3 tries, bat chef 2, and imp 1. hmmm
edit 1: yesyesyesyesyes only 2 attemps on king before i won
Perfect
i came back to finish it and came back again to 100%, its just too good.
my favorite game of Stopsignal
:( almost first tried imp and now cant do crap
Try staying in the upper platforms, not touching the lower ones!
yeah i beat him now on king fight. lassie and imp are easy to beat and the bat is a little more challenging. almost killed the king a few times. where are all the eggs? i have 2 and are there more i can get
can hitless beat imp easily
HALLELUHIAH I FOUND THE LAST EGG
so im dumb but i cant find the bosses or get the tabasco jumps. how do i do this? halp me please.
edit 1
found lassie. struggiling
edit 2
yey
NO WAY KONQI OH MY GOD
i love this game (r34 love too)
on the last boss, if you die right when you parry him, it glitches and instantly wins the fight
that's quite the specific bug! thanks for catching that one! One day i might dust this project off again and give it some needed patches!
That would be awesome!
Heckin ADORABLE omg
Everybody gansta until the kobold (women) grabs a shotgun.
one small issue I forgor how to tobasco :(
Boss uh... she's got a gun
(For his neutral special he wields a gun)
*She
fixed
nice
I loved dis game it was fun it trigged my hollow knight ptsd but i still loved it because kobold :3
same
Bug Report: Chef king's sideways slap attack causes a crash if you are dead when he uses it.
i think most of the bugs are in the last fight.
Incredibly enjoyable experience. It's a lovely change of pace and the combat is a treat. For those struggling, download the game. It's 10 times better than the web version since there's much less delay and overall runs faster. Very balanced experience I found. Love it! <3333
just beated this game and it's very fun to play and very cute
amazing game besides some of the not fun parts(like not having a speed upgrade because green is hecking slow to cross around the map)
I just beat the game and I love this so much. This is probably one of my favorite games on this site
Barely beat the third boss, in the king's room, cant even make it past the bat guy anymore :-(
have you tried shooting diagonally? i saw videos of people struggling against him because of that!
i know but gotta avoid the horizontal flying guys then.
tried parryjumpging him but the avoiding stuff gets tedious too...
the game gives me castle crasher vibes
woof. This game is very well designed, but there’s some seriously brutal combat that just feels too unbalanced.
The first two bosses are doable, but the imp and final boss were nuts. A lot of the deaths feel unfair too, because often it won’t let me cancel the shooting animation to jump out of the way fast enough, and I get hit. It requires lightning fast reflexes and you can only get hit 3 times, so it just feels unfair.
Other thing was the map- I don’t see why you can’t just always have it on you? It discouraged me from trying to find everything, because having a map station was a little tedious
but, really solid game otherwise, it feels good and has good level design. With a few tweaks I’d like it even more!
The game is fun, but I have a small issue. This may be internet problems on my end, but sometimes the background music will finish playing and won't loop which causes no sound effects like shooting and enemies dying to play. I'm not sure how the background music is tied with the sound effects, but it happens.
Even in the beginning of the game, the sound effects don't play when the background music don't start up as soon as I start the game.
Needs level design. And what should I do when coins land on spikes?
Loved the game, the art style and the soundtrack are so good!
I felt like the bosses after the first were a bit too easy, though, you are just so much more powerful than them through all the upgrades you get. Especially the Chef King felt weak due to his slow moves, I beat him on the first try.
The movement felt very good and intuitive, I actually liked not being able to move while shooting.
Overall a 10/10 because I am biased due to my love for kobolds.
I love the game but sometimes it glitches and keeps playing the dialogue, especially in the Kings battle.
theres a pit with spikes right before the first tour sig
or the tour sign
stay safe kiddos
no checkpoint before boss?
yeah its frustrating
Lol el juego se ve divertido y es divertido me dan ganas de seguirlo jugando, amé el detalle de la animación cuando el pequeño apunta y cuando dispara, todo se ve excelente espero haya una parte 2 o algo así jaja estaría fenomenal este es el primer juego de itch.io que comento porque creo que se lo merece así que enhorabuena! un gran trabajo si fuera de pago lo compraría (en un futuro donaré algo xd)
Love the game but I really wish it had controller support. Mostly because I suck with keyboards.
Went to backtrack to get the kobold egg in the pig pen. Reloaded a checkpoint save in the cell where all the kobolds are trapped and started getting this error message when the sequence where the imprisoned kobolds begin dialogue as if its the first time I went down there. The dialogue sequence never deactivates between loading saves. Ive gotten this error message every time it tries to load the dialogue sequence.

I think its trying to show me the pickup full of kobolds but the camera is breaking. Just a hunch.
================================
Besides that. love the game! love bouncing on fools heads using the parry, despite it only doing as much damage as the bullets do, simply not as rewarding outside of doing some clever platforming. Needs more damage to average enemies to make it more gratifying I think.
The first boss got pretty tense ( as far as I got before my save softlocked ), especially when she stops doing predictable cycles and starts varying her movement and attack patterns on top of moving faster. Makes a challenge to find a viable window of attack to start blasting.
Other than that, if the controls could be changed so I can use W,A,S,D + spacebar and the mouse to shoot, then reaching Q to use a tabasco wouldn't be so hard.
F***ing hard. Loved it about half way. I now understand "rage quit".
This is fine.
I mean, what's even wrong about this situation anyway?
(I'm pretty sure this just came from my save being left alone for two months of ragequit from that last battle lol)
Sadly, yes!
I couldn't find a way to ask the browser if there was a savefile there or not - something that, honestly, you surely are able to, but i just couldn't.
So when you load a file that has literally nothing, that happens! Should probably add it to Probable Problems
-New-
YES a couple of tries i win!!!! omg the game was so amazing i wish there was a part 2
is there any thing that i can listen to this music everyday? i need it, thanks.
-Old -
uhhh what happened? when i beat lassie and trying to get the chest my account just gone but i login now and its this - never mind i got full auto so fast i speedrun the game ill kick lassie butt again - beat lassie now TWO tries XD my first gameplay is so hard but now i beat lassie butt - XD THE BAT CHEF WAS EASY i didn't know you gonna get a thingy so you can do the swing
i wish the game translated to 3D
Very cute and fun, that's like a love letter to Alien Hominid. I really enjoyed the game, but I ran into a few problems on the downloaded version.
There was no music whatsoever, though I was able to get the soundtrack to work on the Web Version.
After a while Sound Effects would start to overlay over themselves, causing some serious ear bleed.
Once, I found that when I turned around, I couldn't actually move until the camera had finished repositioning. It unfortunately caused a death.
Camera repositioning in general was not very smooth, especially when rapidly attempting to aim diagonally and jumping.
Despite the issues, the game itself in it's presentation and gameplay is very fun and well worth it!
You are really kind, escpecially after all those problems! Damn, i have never heard of those technical problems! Could you please tell me in what version of windows you played it? (i fear that my old ass Gamemaker version might be slowly becoming too outdated)
The camera thing might have been because the game grounds you in place while shooting! Not many people were fond of this, i certainly learned my lesson there, hahahahaha
I'm using Windows 10 OS Build 19042.1526. Been playing it on my Laptop. I did record the gameplay if you'd like to cross reference it . It's recorded on OBS and played the Downloaded version here!
Because there was no soundtrack, I played Alien Hominid over the footage.
12:10 for the movement issue (it's fast, but I think I should have been able to get away)
15:30 for the most notable sound effect problems, they just got worse as I played, but I think went away if i relaunched.
Keep up the great work though, you really nailed the Behemoth style!
can port for godot?
really fun metroidvania with a "newgrounds" charm. The shop adds a nice layer of depth o the game.
That said, i highly recommend downloading the game, the web version runs super slow
