How does your game fit the theme?
1. Rather than the traditional role as a protagonist, the player instead plays as a level designer by laying traps throughout the level that computer controlled-characters then need to traverse. 2. After all levels are completed, the player then takes the role of the computer-controlled characters and has to retraverse all the levels, including their own traps.

Fun submission, liked the plot twist.

There's a bug at the last level though, all the villagers stayed at the door, waiting to be killed

Developer

Yea... Unfortunately, that bug only appeared after I uploaded it and I didn't have time to update it before the deadline. Oh well, all part of the learning experience, and at least it doesn't completely break the game. Thanks for the feedback :)

Completely understandable. :) Great to see a fully functional and fun to play game in so little time, congrats!

By the way, I noticed the arrow traps cam become hard to see. 

Ours was a bit less finished. Still a great learning experience

Developer

Yea, especially during the placement phase the arrow trap sprites are not the best and they also don't have sounds. To think I had planned to have 5 different trap types at the beginning... definitely a good learning experience! ^^

Very fun! I really liked the twist of having to run back through the levels at the end - definitely made me regret some of my trap placement choices

Developer

Hehe, it's a nice little balancing act ^^ Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the feedback. This is the first time I've done a game jam so it's great to see that people are actually enjoying something I've made :D

Fun little strategy game, very Lemmings (if you want to expand on this further, I recommend looking at it for inspiration) but with a lot more emphasis on reducing their numbers instead of keeping them alive! Nice work!

Developer(+1)

Oh that's true. I used to love playing Lemmings. I guess this is a good reason to go back and play it a bit. Thanks for the tip :)

Developer

Glad you enjoyed :)

Very cool game! Hit a bit of a glitch in the last level but other than that this was very fun! Really cool art and music too!

Developer

Yea... unfortunately the glitch only happens in browser and I didn't have time to fix it before the deadline. Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

Grab your pitchforks and grab your torches! It's time to journey to our end!

I love the horde of "players" running through the dungeon, great visual and experience!

Developer

Thank you very much. It's really awesome to hear someone has enjoyed one of my games :)
