Nice AI, funny taunts. But the keys kinda suck IMHO

A role-reversed platformer is a great idea for this theme, but the guy refused to die when his lives were lost (I'm not sure whether it's a bug or I missed something).

I like the hero AI and level design, but it seemed rather easy with very little reason to try playing again. The design concept was also very good.

emveyh 2012-12-18 14:44

Nice little game, the hero AI works great :D

tijmentio 2012-12-18 14:52

Nice AI! And the taunts were really funny!

gamexcore 2012-12-18 20:49

This could have been a really fun game, with a few more levels / other minion types.

Nice AI, but the tutorial level was harder than the actual level since he kills off the enemy you spawn before you have the chance to put a second on the screen.

tommislav 2012-12-18 21:50

I really liked this game, and the AI worked out very good indeed. I especially liked how the worthless you felt as the boss when the hero constantly killed off all your precious minions X-D

adventureislands 2012-12-18 21:54

Nice idea for a game, bit difficult because the hero keeps killing your minions hella fast. especially in the tutorial. Miniman's taunts were nice add.

greenpixeldev 2012-12-19 00:41

Good job! I really liked the concept and I couldn't help but imagine playing Megaman as Dr. Wily :D

tyren 2012-12-19 02:45

Overall a good idea, but the timer to place a new minion seemed a bit short to me.

bugninja 2012-12-19 04:16

It's OK. I like the idea of being the boss in a boss battle :) Good humor too.

dagamesta 2012-12-19 05:58

Very good game, some bugginess but I liked the hero running through the castle, must've been tough to program in this time span. I also like the concept, and it was rather fun if not expanded upon as much as it could have been. But hey, that's what this competition is for, to get things started!

yopsolo 2012-12-19 07:41

cool one :)

kwl_tw 2012-12-19 09:49

Haha!Captain Megaman!

dremelofdeath 2012-12-19 13:17

The AI and his comments are awesome. I had fun playing it. The controls were a little strange, but I liked it overall. Good job with the theme.

bigbadwofl 2012-12-19 13:33

Cool concept and funny text. Well done.,

wisegamer 2012-12-19 17:32

Nice game and funny!

wisegamer 2012-12-19 17:32

Nice game and funny! I hate miniman!

heychinaski 2012-12-19 22:03

A very tricky concept to pull off butyou did a pretty good job of it. A bit on the easy side, the hero always seem to die at the same place but good fun nonetheless.

cwilloughby 2012-12-20 08:16

The AI is great. Would love to be expansion on the idea. Love the retro look/feel and the homage.

faust 2012-12-20 10:13

Interesting AI, excellent job.

tau7153 2012-12-20 19:12

Nice graphics, good A.I. and a solid take on the theme, well done!

zenmumbler 2012-12-20 22:01

Mega-america vs the red trapeziums of doom. Not sure why I have an avatar in the world as I'm more the force behind the curtains. Kudos for implementing a mini-AI to play through the level. He did get stuck in the center of the 2nd row for me, where he has to jump 2 blocks away. Good!

JFlegle 2012-12-20 23:15

Love the AI, lots of strategy in this game.

stonemonkeystudios 2012-12-20 23:53

Fight, Miniman! For everlasting peace!

Entertaining little experience. As mentioned previously, Miniman appears to get stuck the middle row of the level, where he has to jump two blocks over and above him.

If only Megaman could shoot in any direction like Miniman could...

dew 2012-12-21 00:33

Fun and fast. Nice game.

dek 2012-12-21 14:49

Very nice idea. Impressive AI!

raincole 2012-12-21 17:25

Very good. I like the idea you can pause time.

fishbrain 2012-12-21 17:35

Nice concept, well done, I enjoyed it. Good AI. I liked the graphics too (but would have preferred a different style of Minion).

tcho_i_er 2012-12-21 23:00

Many humor in this game, the IA was great (but maybe a bit buggy sometime when he has to jump right to left), too bad it's that short but still that's a really great game !

edocentrique 2012-12-22 09:06

It's a good idea !

har_g 2012-12-23 12:35

Nice work.

falkreon 2012-12-24 04:12

Controlled allright, the concept could work... game was extremely short and easy, but the time spent on the AI really did make you start to dislike the hero. Nice work overall.

gungnir 2012-12-25 04:08

Good concept and theme, would have enjoyed some more minion variety, or the ability to spawn more. Having to press enter took my hands away from resting on the default controls.

mistakoo 2012-12-25 14:59

Good concept, needs more enemy variety and a few cues from tower defense games.

mesene 2012-12-26 00:40

already said but... nice IA and idea :) wish there were more levels

lotusgame 2012-12-27 10:21

Too bad there is no more levels.. It's cute.

philip-wagner 2012-12-27 23:44

Yeah, that was cool. And worked really great, too. Had fun and a nice twist on the platformer genre.

paulsb 2013-01-06 22:21

Great concept! Like the idea of being the unseen villain deploying those minions against the classic platforming hero. I would say the game itself was however quite limited with no great strategy to it. Definite potential here.
