This game has a real potential, but as is now it doesn't feel immersive enough for me. Good sense of humor and very polished aesthetics!

Someone seems to be tired of MMORPGs. I enjoyed that alot!
It's still very player-focused despite the fact that you control him via the minimap. Maybe there would have been another solution - for example that the player does everyhing himself, but you need to follow him with scrolling the map so he doesn't leave the minimap radius and gets lost?

LAZER.WAVSuch a clever use of the theme. Magnificent!
This game makes me think how stupid some RPGs missions are. Love you joked about it! Great story too.
Awesome work!

Gravedigger's HarvestThe presentation ist just great! I am not a huge fun of (Text-)RPG. But this one keeps playing for a "while". Even it was just clicking... I think with a little more depth it could be more fun.

GMTK23 - defeat the heroReally like the idea. All the story is 'off screen'. This will be even better with voice acting. (but only 48h, and must speak English fluently).

Clunky KartInteresting concept, but the game seemed to be missing something to keep the player engaged beyond "click on the right dots," and the map seemed somewhat low resolution, making it hard to read the names. Still, it's a neat idea, and there's only so much that can be made over a weekend!

Sam'n SlimeVery clever! TIL I am not good at pathfinding (that's why I make computers do it).

Dog's best friendI love the aesthetic of playing as a minimap! the mapview looked quite cool! but controling a minimap might bee more fun in a game that requires faster movement - to pick the pace up a bit? nicely done though :)

The Night WatchVery creative idea! Unfortunately, I have no idea how to move the camera and consequently couldn't even find the first street.

Dungeon IntruderHILARIOUS. Didn’t love the clicking around but the idea, story, writing, ending, everything else is perfect
