I didn't understand how to play it. Tried 3 times.... :(

Submitted

Funny and weird game. I like the lemming-style ending :D

Developer

Game updated, the 'newsbreak bug' (hopefully) fixed!

Developer

@jumbledevs to overcome the news break you have to be in the 'open mouth' state (see the first screenshot on the left!) Thanks for playing!

Submitted

The graphics are awesome and the idea is really cool, but I can't get past the NEWS BREAK enemy, whatever I do I lose all my followers. :<

Submitted

Takes some time to get used to the control, but its really original. Well done :D

Submitted

Hard to work out what to do to pick up people and avoid losing them; it feels like this might be a good twitch game, or a good puzzle game, but trying to solve the puzzle of how to bypass each impediment and pick up each person while also trying to manage the twitch element of doing it all at the right time is overwhelming my poor brain...

Took me a while to understand how to play.

A charming game :). Only after you understand how to play it :p.

Developer

Oh my, yes, upon further playtesting there's definitely a bug with the 'Newsbreak' enemy, sometimes it doesn't disappear and even takes away all your followers despite having reacted correctly to it. Very sorry for this :(

About the subpixel scaling, I'm not very sure, the renderer is tighly locked to do only 64x64, anyway I guess I cannot 'legally' change that before the voting ends! We didn't have time to animate it properly and resorted to do that cheap&quick scaling trick

Thanks everyone for the feedback, very appreciated!

It was difficult to defeat newsbreaks because there were so many inputs, and if you didn't do it fast enough, you'd lose everything.
But otherwise amazing job! :D

I don't understand why I am enjoying this game so much even though I'm losing horribly. XD Lovely aesthetic and characters. They make me extremely happy playing this. Confused on how to avoid the news break. Super Silly concept and I really enjoyed it.

Submitted

Nice little game and art! Just one thing, I had to download it because it doesn't load for me on Firefox.

Submitted

ps: i know is a minor thing, but when the "breaking news" gets smaller it's breaking the 64x64 rule, as it involves sub-pixels. is very minor, but just a heads up ^^

Submitted

oh my, that was cute and fun, very nice game, an cool mechanic
ps: rainbow fart <3

Oh, I had a friend play it and he found out the pooping rainbows bit. I thought that animation meant you where tired and couldn't do another move for a moment.

Submitted

Oh my, that was fun.

Developer

Hey 'Reviewer', thanks for playing!

Do you mean it is a bug? To neutralize news break the leader has to be in 'open mouth' state (three taps from the walk & dance state), if that's not working let me know!

Submitted

Very Cute!

Pretty funny, but "news break" takes all my peeps
