-Jumping into a group of enemies can cause them to fall.
-You can deal additional damage if you jump from higher ground.
-Enemies can't block strong attacks.
-Enemies you've picked up can be used as a shield. Any damage, from other enemies, done to the "shield" will kill it.
-Some other stuff that you might figure out.
________________________

To be able to kill enemies efficiently, you need to combine all those actions in the right way. It's far from enough to just smash the spacebar.

hey man , its an awesome game...the only ting i didn't liked was the" space bar for everything" thing , its kind of annoyng sometimes, maybe you should add other butos to use as comands and stuff...o and the lack of fast moves, hes a barbarian i know but it would looks cool if he coold dash or run (and when running hit enemis as well xD) and stuff like that!

but over all, i looved the entire game, music phisics and design... i'm loving to play it...and err, sorry to ask but, will be there a sequel or update =D?
little addons would be nice too ;)
it would be awesome if this game had PvP option and a cooperative 2 players mode...any way just keep going!!

even doh I would like medals it wouldent work cause you said something about killing a boss with out geting hit(did it)and that would be what 100 points. really easy.

so any way are you working on any thing else.

you were totally right, after "really" learing tom play, the space as only action button turned things cool and unique!!

oh and,err. is there any undelocable thing after the lab? just to know >_>!

i'm looking foward for the next thing you guys gonna do!, if you were able to make a game like that, i can't wait to the next ;)...any spoiler of what you guys are planning =D?

Kill 125 enemies on Barbarian Stronghold to unlock Barbarian Laboratory.

i dont know man what you have here is the greatest game ever. The art, the action, finishers everything is perfect about the game. Please make a sequel, it would be kick ass. Also i loved the boss fights and zogot was a bitch but i kicked his ass
zxzzxzxrazorkomg or what ev is still the hardest for me.

I mean it is perfect when i beat i was like that was great, then the lab/stronghold came and i just had an orgasm its rly a genius game

Barbarian Onslaught : The Secret of Steel was a great game. I'm hoping, maybe, another game in the BO series. It would be awesome. The game dynamics were great, and I have nothing to criticise.
Keep up the great work.
Good luck!
