This was so creative! Loved the fact that you managed to fit multiple endings into a 2 day Jam. Ambition that paid off nicely! I am glad I got to check this one out.

How does your game fit the theme?
“Escort quests” are infamous in MMOs and other games for featuring very “stupid” NPCs - always walking in front of large enemy groups and never giving the player enough time to stop and heal. In this game, YOU are that NPC, and it is your role to rush ahead and attract the attention of the enemies - or stay behind and give the player a fighting chance - in order to achieve all four different endings.

Very creative idea. It is fun to play as the annoying NPC in escort quests. I love that there are different endings; I managed to get to 3 of them.

(Not) HorrorI like! Playing as a good little NPC is a fun experience. But trying to get the hero killed is a really nice challenge with a fun role reversal. The usage of art and inclusion of an opening screen, settings menu and having multiple endings also makes for a very complete and polished experience.
Very well done and a solid entry!

All about that (tower) baseVery interesting idea! As someone who has difficulty with escort missions in games this was very funny to play

Gamer-Dungeon KeeperNot a bad concept actually. I always enjoy having a powerful NPC with me in games that I can exploit to take out enemies. Remember the followers in OG Fallout?

Humpty Jumpty 🥚Very interesting idea! Reversing the traditional RPG experience of infuriating escort quests makes me wonder how much fun it is to keep the "player" from getting what they want. Good game!

I used to be an AdventurerThis is a really enjoyable game! I have a little more respect for those NPCs now, it’s definitely fun to mess with the player. I like the focus on achieving different endings to prevent you using the same strategy all the time. Sure, I could hide behind the hero, but doing that all the time is pretty boring. Now rushing ahead to get the hero killed and make it to the goal in one piece? That’s a fun time.
