This was fun! Great idea and execution. I liked the idea of collecting minions and not having to do all the fighting for a change ;) great sound too, well done!
Thank you so much for playing ^ ^
I'm not that satisfied of how this jam version goes but that will change in the next update
We plan to update the game later in the jams that'll improve the whole game a lot. Newer update will include new minion, enemy, and other clever things.
If you're interested more about the game, feel free to follow us.
Cool :) Looking forward to seeing your updates then!
Very fun game! I ended up just staying in the corner with my minios on follow mode and just let them guard me, and it was nice to watch. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing :D
Thanks for making it! Could you try my game
Enjoyed it a lot :)Pretty simple premise but executed nicely.My only issue is that after some time passes you become unkillable becouse your minions surround you and enemies cant pass them :\
Other than that nice work well done :D
Thank you for playing! If you finish the game, the difficulty will increase so you might not come to that issue.
Fun litle game! Great pixelart and funny gameplay.
Feels good having minions !
I find it really easy, but I guess it's because you didn't have time to make more hard levels.
I'd love to know how can I improve my game. Tell me your opinion when you can !
Thanks for playing our game. There is increased difficulty the more you finished the game. You can see the Diffculty with number on the top left in the menu screen.
I'll love to tryout your game.
Yeah, I actually completed the whole game and found it easy (not that it's a bad thing), but I would've liked to find some extra challenge.
Clever interpretation of the focus and theme! It's nice having minions to do the work for you :P Loved the adorable art, the fun music, and the little soft chomp sounds on the slimes.
Suggestions:
- Maybe add a total number of waves to the UI overall so you know how many you have to go.
- I saw in Joshua's stream that you said you wanted to add a dash into the game - which would be super nice!
Overall really well done game! Amazing job and good luck in the jam.
thank you for trying out our game! We will include your feedback after the jam :)
Great pace to the game, perhaps some power ups would extend the game even further. The slime was cool.
I you could spare a few minutes, any feedback on my game would also be appreciated.
Love the way you did collectibles! very clever. The art is also super cute especially on the creatures. Really great work!
It would mean a lot if you could check out my Jam submission if you get the chance. Thanks!
Super fun and neat concept! I really like games where you have followers and companions to do the attacking for you! The only suggestion I have is to perhaps make it so that the player can walk through the monsters; There were a few times where I wasn't able to win because the monsters trapped me against the wall. Other than that, loved it! If you have the time, I'd appreciate it if you could also play my game!
thank you for your feedback! Glad that you enjoyed the game. I tried your game and I liked the space atmosphere, maybe a futuristic soundtrack could have been added :)
That was a lot of fun. Cute art and I love the raising difficulty
Glad to hear that :D thank you for playing our game
Cute little game, really enjoyed the music and art.
thank you :D
Good game. Nice mechanics centered around the theme. For some reason after completing floor 2 I went back to floor 3 :( The game looks real nice too!
Hmm, maybe that a bug, it's supposed to go floor 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1. Thank you for your feedback :D
In that case it wasn't a bug, I also see I mistyped, I went from floor 3 to 2, like you said :D
Really fun game! Felt satisfying and enjoyable :)
Glad you enjoyed it :D
This was a really cool interpretation of the limitation! The minion sprites were cute and I liked their abilities a lot. However I did manage to cheese the game towards the end by standing between all my minions once I had collected enough. An new enemy type that could split up your minions / force you to move would be a fun solution!
Overall it was a fun game that used the theme/limitation well! Great job :D
thanks for trying out our game :) yes if you collect enough minions you'll become OP. The goal of the game is to survive the waves while collecting the minions. If you did so, then you basically won the game.
Not playable with keyboard
if you enable the virtual joystick you can't use the keyboard :)
Ah thanks! Its still a bit wonky with that enabled tho...
you mean the joystick? Joystick is meant to be used on mobile browser. If you want to play on desktop don't enable the virtual joystick, and you can use a keyboard or a gamepad!
Oh!
