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.
This is a great concept that works perfectly with the theme. I love it! Puzzles are very challenging. :)
Nice game, a tad tricky but nice.
Interesting idea for the theme! I wish the followers could be tasked to move the items around for you. The walking was a little too slow/awkward and it seemed like some of the pathfinding was off.
Thanks for playing! There were a few other mechanics I would've liked to implement (using followers as bridges was one my wife was really fond of), but being my first game I found I was already pushing my limits.
Nice! Pretty good for a first game 👍
Nice concept and really interesting mechanics. Perfect utilization of the theme.
Awesome Game! Great concept!
Ahh music 😂. Nice game.
Yeah, it's my first time using bosca and even audio, but I hope it didn't detract too much from the experience. I tried to implement it so that the number of followers adds a little bit, but not sure how well that came across.
Fun game to play, I struggled figuring out how to finish the first level. I had a little glitch with one of the follower doing moonwalk. Also i wish i could have turned the music down. Good job !
Thanks for playing! That may be a glitch, or just poor animation. Every time you cross a red area on the floor, you lose all of your followers. You have to figure out a way to get a follower over that red line without them following you.
