Really fits the theme! Always wanted to know what it would be like to be a bad AI guard

Developer

Thanks, I appreciate you playing my game. :)

Submitted

Some of the camera motion was a little jarring, but, I can't hold any grudges after looking at those characters WIGGLE their 3D booties so beautifully. :P Would wiggle booty again 100%

Developer

Haha. thanks. I know a few people that really enjoy the idle bounce they do. and I personally do as well. I get the camera can feel a bit jumpy, especially if youre spamming the cycle key it can be a lot real fast. but it still needs to be quick so you can control the next minions as fast as possible. I'll try to think of some ways its not as jarring. Thanks for the feedback, and for enjoying my characters. :)

Submitted

Nice Job!

Developer

Thank you for playing. I appreciate it. :)

Submitted

Love the PSX style character models! I got stuck trying to fail level 2. Any tips?

Developer

you can jump over the hero, and use the stairs to block the shots on the second minion. thanks for playing my game. :)

Submitted(+1)

Oh I see. That makes sense. I'll have to give it another shot later.

Submitted

Interesting concept was like a strange reverse Final Fantasy game. Definitely the right idea just maybe needs a bit more polish but good for a jam especially your first one! 

Developer

Yeah, thank you for playing and the feed. I plan on polishing it up and reducing some difficulty spikes after the jam ends. :)

Submitted

Lol! I really liked the story of the game and the dialogue. Nice and clever take on the theme :)

Really enjoyed the sound effects and music as well, Great Job!

Please consider playing and rating my game if you have the chance :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback and for playing my game. :)

Submitted

Lots of fun, great dialogue music and story.

It'd be cool if you could get your minions to attack each other or miss. The difficulty is a bit too much in later levels, I did have to use the skip but it allowed to me see the rest of the story so thanks :)

The art-style and animations are really good too. Reminds me of classic PS1/PS2 games

Developer(+1)

tanks for the feedback. The difficulty is on my list to address for after jam version. :) and I few mechanic changes in mind to help with game play as well. Thank you for playing my game. :)

Submitted

Very cool, it's like my game but not in turned-based :D

Developer

Kinda, but also different. :) we approached in a similar way. thank you for playing. :)

Submitted

So ok I really like it, very creative and enjoyably silly concept, very nice. The third level was very challenging even with the tips, especially because minions would get stuck and I wouldn't have time to readjust with the third minion, but that's a matter of minor tweaks.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback and for playing:)

Submitted

Wow, very good idea and well executed. Some sound effects would be nice, even simple ones. I really like how the game introduces itself, i.e. as a tutorial. Maybe skip some of the other text, at least I did ;-)

Another improvement would be to make more clear how many minions are around and if there are still some waiting for the hero. I also lost orientation from time to time because after switching the minions, it was not clear if I am before or after the hero.

Developer

Yeah, there have been some suggestions around this. and something I'll look at later, I think I have some ideas for the post jam version. Thank you for the feedback and for playing. :)

Submitted

Alright nice use of the theme! The controls were a bit awkward at times but it still made for a fun experience.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing

Submitted

Nice take on the theme!

Developer

thank you for playing. :)

Submitted

very good concept, the character animation is nice, the last level is way too hard I think? I don't know. I can't beat it

Developer

It is. Its in my notes to fix for after the jam. Thank you for playing my game, I appreciate it. :)

Submitted

It's fun, I don't like the 2.5d look, tho

Developer

Thanks for playing anyway, I appreciate it. :)

Submitted

Hah, this was really fun! The entire idea is very unique, and implemented pretty well, sort of like an anti-tower-defense. The models were really good and their little bouncy animations were cute. The Sfx were nice. There were some overlapping issues with the background which caused it to flash a bit, and some of the torches went wild. The difficulty spike was intense for sure, and there were a few bugs in the last level which were really annoying, but i still beat it, and the boss level was pretty great, and just the humor overall was pretty great. Amazing game!

Developer

Thank you for the feed back and for playing. and yeah.  '-_- I'm aware of those issue and will be address when I release the non jam version after the ratings are over. lol

Submitted

Really nice!

Developer

Thanks for playing. :)

Submitted

Enjoyable :)

Developer

Thanks for playing. :)

Submitted

Hey nice Game :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you for Playing man. :)

Submitted

Cool game! I like your way of dealing with the theme!
The visuals are really nice and the music fits well as well.
Also nice I can play with a controller!

The levels were kind of short, but that is to be expected from a jam game.
Well done!

Developer

Thank you playing, and for the feedback! :)

Submitted

This is one of my favorite submissions so far. It's just so funny and cool. I love the backstory and the fact that we're just babysitting this hero :D 

I wonder if this is what happens when you select the easiest difficulty on a regular game 

Anyways, great Job!

Developer

Thank you! and thank you for playing! :)
