Great game, I should practice more later >.<

Seems like the second level is broken?
There are three knights to choose from

@Fervir

Use up/down to change classes for each character. You play them in order from left to right, one after another.

The music is great. The idea is fun and a clever use of the theme, but I had some problems switching between characters. The graphics are also very nice.

pppp.exe is not a valid Win32 executable?

Really digging the graphics and audio. The gimmick behind the game is a nice take on the theme overall that sets it apart from the others of similiar idea.

Awesome puzzle game! Very cool idea and implementation of the theme (though it would have been better if there was some sort of explanation of why they died after 10 seconds).

It was a bit annoying that I could not preview/see the entire level when planning. I had to select 3 people who probably wouldn't work, scout the level, then figure out my plan. The puzzles overall were pretty well designed (though level 3 is really hard for only the 3rd level).

The music gets a bit grating after a bit, but I just muted it, so it was OK.

Overall, graphics and gameplay were excellent! Good job!

That was great. I loved the puzzles and their difficulty, but maybe it's just hard because I needed to scout out the level before planning out my route.

Occasionally buggy, which doesn't help the high difficulty level. However, this seems like a very well put-together game, with good music, strong art and nifty mechanics. If only I was any good at it!

I get this when I try to run the love file: http://leafo.net/shotsnb/2013-08-26_00-19-42.png I'm on linux

I like the idea quite a bit, but it felt like there was only one specific way to do each level. I never felt like I was able to find my own way of doing things. Overall, the game felt pretty good to play and I'd be interested in playing more if you choose to continue work on it.

@Endurion
I have no idea what might be causing that, but I'll see if I can find anything.

@TheSambassador
@ranf
you can move the camera with w,a,s,d while selecting a team. I think I'm going to write some fully detailed instructions in the description since the in-game ones do seem to be a bit lacking.

@leafo
Thanks, I'll look into that.

@coreym1988
I tried to make sure each stage had at least two workable combinations, but yeah. I would've really liked to make it more flexible if I had more time.

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone.

Nice game. It reminds me of the good old classics like Lost Vikings, or Fury of the Furries, except this one is different :-)

josefnpat 2013-08-26 11:05

I am also getting this error :(

Running the .exe, src/ and .love all do the same thing :(

gikdew 2013-08-26 19:44

really nice pixel art!

taiters 2013-08-26 20:11

Great game! Really cool idea, I found myself panicking near the end of the levels haha

bjeaurn 2013-08-26 20:11

Good game! Alot of fun, pretty difficult as well!

larzan 2013-08-26 20:18

Cool grafix and nice idea with the team where each has 10 secs, thumbs up :)

hbocao 2013-08-28 02:34

Duuude! This is great in every way. The use of the theme, the art is beautiful, the music is so moody and solid gameplay. Loved it!

_alts 2013-08-28 03:56

This game is really cool. I love the idea. Reminiscent of Trine. Well done.

The only problem I had is that I ran into quite a few bugs. Characters falling through platforms (sometimes to my advantage). One time the wizard just couldn't shoot magic, which ended up ruining the whole run. Polished up I think this could be a really great game.

endurion 2013-08-29 15:30

Dunno what happened, this time it worked (was XP before).

Great visuals and music, and I love those games. However I couldn't figure out the second stage. The wizards magic didn't seem to work at all.

Squish the bugs, roll out more stages, Profit!!!

namrog84 2013-08-30 10:12

Extremely difficult first level to realize whats going on.

Was fun after I realized what was going on. Art and music was enjoyable :D

epiplon 2013-09-07 02:32

Pretty well made game. They work really good as a team, and I find the first two levels to be clever.
The buttons where a bit buggy, specially at the third level, but you can work that out.

jwolf 2013-09-15 23:00

Pretty neat puzzle game! I found the timing to be a bit too tight for my taste, but that's probably just a matter of preference.

paveldlouhy 2013-09-16 09:35

Very nice and polished game! Good job!
