I would have loved if my spiders could travel from the right screen to the left, I would have just sent waves of soldier-spiders to do my bidding.

The ending made me laugh :D This was very creative, I like it.

Thank you both. @amassingham Actually, at one point the spiders could do that; I should've probably kept it. The world they exist in IS contiguous; I just preferred to delete them when they were off screen for managing the entity lifetimes rather than just having them disappear after a time.

Awesome voice acting!

I liked the Warcraft reference hahaha

I absolutely love the idea and the execution is hillarious. The only problem with this (aside from the game's length) is that you have to "fail" in order to make progress.

Hiliarious!

@Prulucid Yay, someone noticed! (A lot of quips are random and so you may or may not hear the few throwback quotes I've got in there.)

@CptBubbles Honestly, that got me thinking about the nature of being a boss; that's part of the reason that you actually LOWER the drawbridge for the hero. I really wanted more rooms though.

One of the best games I played for LD 25. I loved the voice acting! It was very funny, "Your sound card works perfectly" I was like, uhhh what? I loved the villain commentary during the hero's adventure through. Simple yet enjoyable!

SPIDERS! mine actually did travel to the middle screen.

Nice concept

Very interesting :D

Loved the ending, and I guess only thing was I wish the heroes had become faster or that there would have been more until I lose overwhelmed by hawaiian-shirted gunmen. Which would do away with the need to fail to progress

Astonishing! love the concept of a game inside the game!
