The sound effect were really lacking. The direction of an orb when you shoot it is unpredictable and heroes (blue guys) have too broad reach. I really like the graphics, the background feels really nice, but otherwise I didn't enjoy this game much

I loved the graphics, the minion's shape is perfect :D

The gameplay is kind of original too. I felt it like, a multi-tasking pacman.

The blue guys pwned me very easily, i couldn't collect orbs quickly enough : (

I really like this game, it just needs to be a sped up a tiny bit. Good animations with the orbs. My high score is 19/22.

The graphic style is just absolutely beautiful.

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys! I was tired and forgot to write that you aim the orbs with the mouse, and shoot with space. Sorry, kind of important I know, I've added that info now. And yes I agree, there are a lot of areas lacking due to running out of time. :\

Nice art style but didn't really know what to do.

Had a classic kind of quality to it, good stuff. Gets quite hectic in a fun way. A little bit faster would have been nice.

You have a great sense of color. One thing that feels unfair is that the heroes can kill minions even after they're dead while minions instantly disappear; but other than that it's a cool little minigame. My highscore is 20/21

nice game...i had problems with shooting though - even when orb hit blue guys they didnt die
too many blue guys comparing to orbs i think...minions even less.

fantastic graphics! And it's a cool casual take on the Overlord gameplay :)

Top marks!

The execution is simple, but the conceptual foundation is actually fairly promising. I'd be interested in seeing this kind of game taken a step further.

The gameplay and control scheme feels very smooth. It's no trouble to have your character running around collecting orbs WHILE you're managing your minions, and I really like that.

Pretty cool, and a nice idea. Very nice graphical style :) I noticed a couple of bugs:
- It seems you can still shoot after restarting if you previously had an orb, even though it says you don't have any
- Hero guys still kill you when they're in the process of dying
Also the controls are very difficult when using a mouse left-handed - arrow keys + space is awkward - but it's an uncommon case, so no big worry :)

Thanks for the bug reports Scherble! As for the controls I can see that being awkward for sure. I'm surprised Dave (the artist) didn't complain about that since he's a lefty. If we do go back and work on this someday, then I'd like to make the controls customizable.

I really like the art style! The gameplay was a little too much like pacman for my tastes, but it was still fun.

(Once I read the instructions) I got a score of: x11 villagers, x14 blue men.

Score: 12x, 14x
Nice game! Would have liked some background music and a background story. What am I and the blue guys supposed to be?
