pretty fun, and a great idea. Was a bit buggy. The mouse sensitivity seemed reaaaallly slow and my camera would jump around sometimes. But it was really fun to convert all the enemies into my buddies. Potential for some good fun
oh, and the embedded file wouldnt work for me. said it "failed to update unity player" I went and downloaded the latest from unity, but it keeps saying that error.
Thanks Bservers, I just saw that, no idea what's happening, maybe using a patch version is not compatible with the web player, will try with an old version of unity
Voila it's fixed, now you can play in the non-chrome browser.
Cool idea for a game. Turning the soldier guys to my side is quite satisfying. I like that my gun sounds like both a BFG9000 and an Arch-Vile.

Hey elefantopia! Jester from Rival Theory here (makers of RAIN and Squad Command). Thanks for the shout-out!
That's exactly what we had in mind when we build Squad Command. We wanted devs to take the package, tweak it to suit their needs and add an interesting gameplay component to make it unique own! Let us know if we can help in any way! http://rivaltheory.com/forums/
Also use #UsingRAIN to update us in real-time.
ArcturusDeluxe, good ear and wow that ages us, it was lifted from Doom :D
Cool idea!
Haha, I enjoyed this. A lot of the time my friends all died to fast.

It's cool and innovative, kind of reminds me of the paintball minigame from Garry's Mod. Also I didn't know what I had to do when I was starting playing and the continued reloading is a bit annoying.

Enjoyable! Tip for lizard455: try to convert the guys in the *back* of a group, so they can shoot their ex-friends from behind. If you convert a guy that everyone else is already facing, they'll mow him down instantly.

Excellent! Pity there is no M60 or RPG available with micro-payments. ;)
That was a pretty great concept. I could see this being a weapon in a game, for sure. And I liked the level and enemy character graphics.
Nice idea, impressive! But in practice the player movement is too slow and the weapon reload time is too long, it's a bit frustrating. Maybe it would be better with shorter reload times, faster movement, and more enemies to make up?
great idea, nice graphics and audio. as has been said before the reload time is too long. a bit depressive that my new friends get killed right away ;)

I really like the concept here. One of the main problems that I ran into is that I couldn't make friends faster than the enemies killed them, so effectively I was just picking the next enemy to die. Almost as if I were shooting them with an actual gun.

Had a lot of fun with this, made it all the way to the spawn point by mostly shooting the commanders. Solid entry. I liked the contrasting palette.
Etrange étrange :)
Interesting concept. I like it. All works well. I think that this project can be improved by adding some features, but it's good enough. Well done ++
Nice graphics, the art dessing of the soldier is cool, the idea is very good.
Hah! This is amazing. The mechanics are a little iffy at times, but the concept is awesome.

Nice idea, but the execution cuts off the potential. Most of the time a converted ennemy is just a dead ennemy since it will 95% of the time die instantly due to the grouping mechanic. The audio is really exhausting. The graphic part though is really nice ! Too bad there is no strategic interest in this mind controlling gameplay.
Sounds very fun but I could not get the mouse aim to work
