Well done submitting something to the jam! Just a heads up, the Windows .exe didn’t run properly at first - I had to rename the “Best Friends_Data” folder to “BestFriends_Data” (remove the space).
It’s a cool concept to protect a group of friends to make your way to the end of the level. Unfortunately, shooting enemies didn’t seem to do anything, so my guys kept dying. I think it’s a bit harsh to restart the level if even one friend dies, maybe make it a bit more lenient, like you have to keep at least one alive? Anyway, keep it up!
