A unique game with a pretty good aesthetic. I love the strong colours and lighting. :)
This was so cool. I love the concept and the story at the beginning. This could totally be fleshed out into a full game for sure. I love the idea of being a cult leader and building a following to do your evil bidding!
Great game, love the art!
Hahahah Love this game! Super great idea! The only thing I can point out is the movement more speed can make the puzzles more dynamic, when you trow the followers isn't that clear that you have to use the LMB. But overall I really enjoy playing this game! A bit more polish and it would be amazing!
Really cool little game idea! Would love to see this go further!
Found the controls & physics a little janky, but it was certainly a game worth giving a go. I thought the music was decent, and the graphics style of the characters was quite unique.
Nice job!
So I really loved the idea but the controls got to me fast. They felt unresponsive and a little strange. If you fix them up I think you're going to have an amazing game on your hands!
It would be cool if you could check out my game too and give it a rating. https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/925013
Very nice concept, seen original for me. Just the game is very clunky and that made me to stop on Level 2.
Good job
I like the art and the concept was pretty good. The gameplay was a little clunky, but the clever game design made of for it. Great work!
The story is great! I usually skip introduction dialog / tutorial but this one kept me engaged - well done and well paced!
You had me at cult leader, but then I found out you have throw your followers. BEST MECHANIC EVER! I would love to see a more polished version of this, maybe someway to know where your followers might land or can or cannot walk. Great job.
Cool concept!
It does need a bit more polish on the graphics and controls
The followers struggled to navigate the map, so that would need some fixin' too
Had fun hurling my followers tho 🤣
Hope you keep improving!
Thanks for playing! Do they struggle to navigate the map, or do they struggle to go up the stairs? Because a big component of the puzzles is that they cant go up stairs, I'm just not certain how well they came across.
I guess it only happened on the stairs 🤔
In any case it didn't seem intentional, so some changes could be done
Something more intuitive, if you need to lock a follower in an area, could be to need them to stand on a pressure plate or something like that
That or just give the player a super jump lol
This game really stood out to me! I liked the innovational approach you took towards this and the way the music increases as you gain more followers and decrease as you lose more followers. Although the camera movement was a bit choppy and the control mechanics were a bit messed up, I really liked this game. With a bit of polishing, it could be even better. Nice work on this game!
Thank you for the kind words! This is my first game, so I'm still working to get camera movement down, but I can assure you it's better than it was!
Great music with really fun gameplay. Great take on the theme

Cool music and nice take on the theme.
I love flinging guys so so much.
Good job! I really like the idea of expanding music when you take new followers.
Also for me moving stairs wasn't straigtforward (maybe there should have been a sign or something near the first stairs).
Thanks you! If I had more time, I would have made it more clear that you cant push or pull stairs from the front. I had to remove that because I kept having an issue where the stairs and the player would start floating in the air as the controller identified them as stairs, moving them up, and the stairs remained in front of them.
Great take but needs more polishing as i found followers going out of the designated area.
What a fun take on the theme. Really enjoyed the art style!
I encountered some bugs but overall good job. Like the concept.
