Amazing art. Well done!

Very nice game. Beautiful art ant interesting idea. But I'd like to have more then one life :)

A *very* cool game! The background story is really funny, and that is only enhanced by the cool sound effects and graphics. I love it watching how the minions get shocked by their boss screaming at them, then turn around and are all "WHAT" :D

I think the levels should be shorter or with checkpoints - or the difficulty curve should be flatter. I stopped in the middle of level 2 because it was a bit frustrating always to start at the beginning, and I think that's a pity because I would've loved to see the end and if there are any new enemies introduced later on. Are there? Please make a video for all us non-hardcore-gamers!

Bonus points for the cool music and the all-around polish!

This is not just a solid game, but a really fun one on top of it. Good job you two!

That art is really amazing and I liked the idea of the Endboss helping the hero to finish him by himself.
It was a little bit hard, but very fun after I practiced the maps a little. This Ludum Dare has probably the most incompetent heroes ever.

Cute game :)

pixelbear 2012-12-19 19:01

Sweet game! Was incredibly polished, and had an interesting story (original! :D) and the gameplay was rather fun. Also, I always love to see picture-based instructions. :)

blockbrains 2012-12-19 19:06

Excellent game and concept! Congrats!

shaneshanekavanagh 2012-12-19 19:06

Lovely. Thank you. I'm super jealous.

drgeraud 2012-12-19 21:13

YEAH !
So many great comments, thanks everyone. :D

Tobias --> Sorry for the level balancing, we were short of time and we adapted the difficulty to our own tastes. That was our big mistake.
And there isn't new enemies, we kept the sames for the 3 short levels we've made. Again, not enough time. :[

loren 2012-12-19 21:14

pretty great idea, very unique! I really liked the art style

christinaneofotistou 2012-12-19 23:38

Kudos, Geraud et Antoine!

greenpixeldev 2012-12-20 19:04

Great art and atmosphere! :D The gameplay is unique! Great job!

matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-21 08:05

Nice work! love the graphics. Idea is a bit hard to understand without intructions though

pierrec 2012-12-21 15:32

Very good concept/story! This worth a full-stars theme!
Aside from that, the game is fun to play, but my computer/connexion is too slow so the sound is flickering a lot. I had to play mute. Too bad because the sounds were cool! (not your fault of course)

dr_soda 2012-12-23 08:59

What a lovely game! This is well polished, thematic, funny... just beautiful!

I'm hard pressed to suggest anything to improve, other than perhaps the difficulty curve, which starts a little too easy and gets a little too hard a little too quickly.

gungnir 2012-12-24 15:47

Very good in the audio-visual department.

Jeremias 2012-12-25 17:24

Very polished, fantastic visuals and... goats! The gameplay isn't something I like, but that's my personal taste ^^ I hope you will set this in a store!

caranha 2012-12-25 17:35

Very cute game, with great sounds.
I liked how the goats and butterflies served to distract the player and cause some degree of risk-reward.

The web version didn't work for me, and the congregate version kept popping a "register at kongregate" dialogue box after I won the game :-(

Thanks for the great game!

arkadydracul 2012-12-25 18:23

Great Art seriously

mesene 2012-12-25 21:36

Nice idea and mood, dumb heroes...

mistakoo 2012-12-25 21:38

Very good. My only complaint would be the hero's sprite just because it's only good as opposed to spectacular like the rest of the game :)

milo 2012-12-26 04:38

This has impressively well polished assets and is an original concept. I feel like it needs a bit more challenge though - after figuring out the first level (which was difficult, but not excessively so), it was just the same thing two more times without much more of a challenge except one or two extra spots where there were a lot of enemies. Maybe some sort of puzzle element would help the game - like instead of just being about being scary in front of the hero at the right time, having to scare minions deeper in or something that requires a little more thought or movement.

herku 2012-12-26 11:57

The art looks amazing. I like the gameplay allthough I had to restart very often ._. Well done!

iamorim 2012-12-26 18:46

Great game! I loved to see how a rhythm style game can be used in a different way. Graphics and Audio are perfect! :)

drgeraud 2012-12-27 16:43

Thanks everyone for your great feedbacks !

We understand that we need to work on the difficulty curve and variety of the game if we want to improve it and propose a nice post jam version.

feili 2012-12-29 12:42

excellent game! :D

brant 2012-12-31 22:50

Outstanding. Had fun with this!

michax 2013-01-02 08:57

Wow, every part of this game is nicely polished. Good job guys!

azurenimbus 2013-01-08 01:22
