Game looks fun, sorta like Lemmings. I like this idea ;)

ncannasse 2013-08-26 09:25

A bit hard to grasp at first but I finished it. Why so many minions in the last level?

neekobus 2013-08-26 10:23

ncannasse : it's like a grand finale :)

I wasn't really able to work this out - my minions just kept going from left to right and not to the exit - what gives? :)

neekobus 2013-08-26 11:56

robashton : you have to put the minions (the red ones) where you want (by clicking the board) to "guide" the big chief (the blue one) to the exit.

burhuc 2013-08-26 12:51

It is a bit difficult to figure out in which direction the Chief will go after a collision with a minion, and a fast-forward function would be nice.
Other than that the game is pretty fun!

It was confusing. But looks interesting.

Nice puzzler! Simple but effective.

I found level 2 harder than 3, but maybe that's just me. Too bad there aren't more levels. I wonder how far this concept can be pushed.

It would be nice if you could see how many minions you have, and if you didn't have to wait for the timer in case you just want to start, or similarly, when you want to give up because the guy is heading the wrong way.

It could also do with some more explanation; when there are multiple options, it seems the guy will always turn right?

Frozen Fractal, Burhuc :
I wanted to put an explanation, but I rather go to sleep :)

The big chief is always going in that order : front of him, his right, his left or back.
The number of minions is shown on the left bar.

At the begining I wanted to put many types of minions (explosives, teleporters, ...), but you know, time...
And good idea to put a fast-forward, thank you.

Cool game ! efficient concept :) A bit frustrating to have to wait each time you place your minions though

2013-08-26 15:59

Just a little spelling error: It says "To Late!" When it should say "Too Late!"
Really good game though :)

smudgedcat 2013-08-26 16:08

Cool game! I made it to the end, although I wasn't sure why the last level was really easy compared to the previous ones.

It would be nice to be able to just look at the level before starting any kind of timer. I found myself ignoring what was going on while planning my route and just restarting once I knew what I was going to do.

I dont understand this game, couldnt get it to work, how about a tutorial?

borden 2013-08-26 18:15

negative: Sadly no animations or audio.

Positive: Clever idea, the sprites look good, it runs smoothly, uses the theme well, and it's really fun! You get bonus points for doing this from scratch in JS, too. That's really impressive.

Didn't work in IE for me but I'll try it in Firefox instead :)

neekobus 2013-08-26 19:28

tripleVisionGames : What version of IE ?

adventureislands 2013-08-26 23:16

Nice idea, if bit rough around the edges. Took me a moment to figure out what to do because the overall feel is bit clunky.

rzfmzn 2013-08-27 00:14

I got a bit confused regarding the boss movement.
Besides that I liked it :D
GJ :D

fferro234 2013-08-27 19:08

Nice game. I definitely thought the level in your picture was harder than the last one, but the game was fun.

triplevisiongames 2013-08-28 17:49

Fun I liked it

puzzlem00n 2013-08-28 20:39

Well, it was pretty hard to tell what I had to do at first, but once I got it, it made sense. It was a bit annoying when I accidentally placed a minion in the wrong place and had to wait until the turn was over to try again. Also, the idea that you need minions to push yourself in the right direction is a bit odd, may I suggest replacing the monsters with something that makes more sense? In the end, an okay game.

mboaj 2013-08-29 17:27

More levels please! :D

joror 2013-08-29 17:32

Good little puzzle fun, would have liked some diversity in guys/effects maybe. :)

neekobus 2013-08-29 23:19

mboaj, Joror : Oh yes ! I'd like, too :)
Maybe soon :)

hypnohustla 2013-08-30 19:26

Great puzzle mechanic. Some sounds would have helped a lot :) Otherwise a nice entry.

teamwithoutlegs 2013-09-06 09:43

It was difficult to understand the game at the beginning, but after that, the game was very fun.

zyxer 2013-09-13 12:19

Great game idea and nicely implemented. I miss the ability to reset levels. And it would have been nice if there were much more levels.
