I don't know if there is a point to this game and I don't care. Lots of potential. PRAISE TO LEADER.

The violence, like magnets, it is magical!

You should host the game on a flash website, so people don't have to download it to play.

mcdonaldswizard 2013-12-18 00:41

I really should. I'm a bad person. haha.

mcdonaldswizard 2013-12-18 00:41

:(

I also suggest hosting this somewhere so people don't have to download. Really interesting theme and mor people should check you out.

I don't know how this fits the theme but I don't care. I brutally enjoyed blasting those poor creatures and reading his comments. It put a smile on my face, thanks for the game!

One of those peons dared to defy me!

I don't know whether it was a bug or willful disobedience, but believe me he was dealt with... although some innocents may have suffered in the process.

Regarding your game, I heard it cry out silently for excellent hilarious sound, but that's quite an ask.

I'm Leader's torch!

I can dig it.

Thanks for playing guys. The feedback has been really helpful so far.

I definitely wish I had added sound. When i got down to the last two hours I picked adding the crispy burnt graphic on the fire guys and more bloody gibs instead. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna add that sound though. It really needs it. I'm gonna add some more 'tools' to spread leader's love in the future.

Thank you. I really needed to blow off some steam after work lol.

Pretty fun game! I disturbingly really enjoyed killing the people. :D

I've loved this. Violence rules :P
Great job!

If you have time please rate my game! I would really appreciate it! :) (Mine is about violence too but against explosive penguins :P)

Fun toy. Not sure about the theme or gameplay. But it is fun to burn my followers with giant pixel fire.

Nice little game, needs a goal tho! great job keep it on!

I did a little more work on this game tonight. I'm trying to tidy up a few bugs and little bits of interaction wonkiness before i move on to new features and sound.

They aren't going into the build that's up here because I'm not sure they qualify under the bug fix rules.
-meteors block mouse input
-speech bubbles block mouse input
-dead followers block input
-fixed a null error caused by a missing graphic(it was masked in the submission by a try catch :), because quality engineering )
-on fire guys can now fall both left and right when they die
-you can't get upside down meteors. did anyone even see that? it was nuts.
-prevented some cases where you weren't supposed to pick up followers and then cause it to play wrong animations or get stuck in a loop.

Whats left that I know about
-sometimes the blood and guts gibs/particles don't stop spawning
-sometimes the followers just stop moving and don't start again, in the mean time you get them to move around again if you apply some love from leader (in the form of a meteor)

Thanks for playing!

WEIRD experience - really liked this!

super-hamster 2013-12-19 03:57

Pretty funny and temporarily fun but once I killed everyone I was so sad. I wish there was something to do afterwards. The artwork was nice and it was fun to kill them. The concept was there, it was just missing the actual game part to it. I had fun though so good job! :D

Super great! I was so happy to play this game )))

kevinmylo 2014-01-06 23:17

I didn't like it at all. Felt a tad uncomfortable. But that's just me.

I am kind of tired of godlike murder toys, but it was nice to see their fawning thoughts. It'd be nice to see them do more to celebrate the leader--maybe recite "poems" or "dance" or make a mud-totem in honor of the leader.

If you wanted to add a little more "play" time to the system, you could add zombification of corpses, and/or a cupid arrow that makes folk eject a wee one and bleed out eventually from the puncture wound(s).

It'd also help if corpses didn't prevent you from clicking on the people behind them. I think you might be able to set mouseEnabled to false for those, if you're using Sprites or MovieClips (and I remember Flash right).
