Really cool entry. The puzzles were super entertaining, the audio was satisfying, and the visuals were good. Very nice :) 

Submitted

I completed all of the levels! This was a really fun game and a unique idea. The in game hints were nice since I always forget the controls when I start games.

I like the concept and for the game, as well as the art style and the sound effects. I think it is an interesting puzzle game. Took me a while to figure out which characters needed to be where, and I was confused why certain blocks weren’t being activated when my character was near at first. I think I managed to find a cheese strategy, since the skulls have collision and can be moved instead of animating them I just pushed them into place to complete the level hehe. All in all a fun game! Good work!

First finished project and you made all the art, codes, music, and sfx yourself? I am mega impressed. Very well done and I enjoyed figuring out the levels. Thanks for the game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much buddy :D But no, the art was not done by me, there are credits in the game when you press escape. And a very good friend of mine made a short song for my game, I've just put it there. I also got some tips for time management during my first jam. 

So no, it was not all on me. I couldn't have done it without the help that I got, I probably would still today be stuck at trying to draw a decent character lol

omgD: I am so sorry! When I press escape, I only exit full screen. My bad. Either way, amazing level design and everything, you put it all together really well. Great game, and I still rate it very highly:)

Fun game, I love it! Pretty creative puzzles and I like how challenging the second to last level was. I finished the game!! For something made in 5 days this is amazing :D

Developer

Thank you so much! This is actually my first finished project and I myself don't even really enjoy Puzzle Games that much. I think that's how it got so challenging lol. Congrats and thank you for getting through! 😄

Cool, nice job

Very cool concept, I like that you can also exchange needles with the minions. However I also was stuck in the second room and losing control of the minions didn’t help. Maybe it should be more clear what to do?

Developer

Hu that's so weird. I might update it today (If that's allowed? Idk this is my First Jam).

There should be signs that Kind of explain what you got to do. In the second room, the Green activation Stone requires the other activation Stone in the room to be active, only then it will activate and spawn the Portal for the next room.

I highly suggest to Play in fullscreen, else the Text of the signs is probably too small.


Thank you so much for playing my Game and giving Feedback though! Appreciate it :)

Submitted

The stone activated but no portal appeared

Developer

The Green one? If so, that's a bug that I didn't get while playtesting. Maybe try if it works only in fullscreen? I've Had some issues with the Upload configuration I think, maybe that's why.

Will try to recreate and fix the Bug when I get home. Thank you for your hint!

Submitted

Super cool concept. Really fun control mechanic. I, like Ninjaxim before me, also couldn’t get past the second map. Was there something I was missing? I’d love to try it again.

Developer

You should click right Mouse Button to empty the needles Out of your Minions and then loose Control over them. Then you can move your Player.

Submitted

I like the idea of controlling multiple characters at once to solve puzzles. Unfortunately I was unable to complete the second map. I was able to open up the gate but couldn't figure out how to get the main character positioned correctly to enter it.

The text on the hint signs is really small, I would suggest making it larger.

Nice job!

Developer

Thank you so much Buddy! Sorry about the Text, did you Play in fullscreen?

As mentioned in an other comment, you can empty the ammo on your Minions so that you loose Control over them, then you can move your character freely without moving your Minions.

Thank you for your Feedback!

Submitted

Fullscreen does indeed help, but it is still small in my opinion.

I just tried it again and that makes it so much easier haha! Thank you for the tip, I'm not sure how I missed that. I was able to finish the game this time, great work!

Developer

Awesome! Thank you so much for playing Buddy :))
