Was this based on the 'companion' theme?

@Erfeo
Not really, the idea was more oriented on the stuff you throw.

Nice to play on a phone, but it miss more unconventionnal weapon

This game was simple, mindless fun. It reminded me of WarioWare, which I find is quite cool.

Simple game and fun. I do not see many games for android, congratulations for the idea. Good Job!

Simple fun. Android release too which is interesting.

Very fun game! Looks really good and plays very well. However, one big downside: sometimes the objects would "stick" to my mouse. Not sure how it happened but it happened every few times, which was nasty. Aside from that, the sound was cool and the idea solid. Makes for a really good arcade game :)

@bobismijnnaam
Good to know! I'll check that.

A simple, but quite entertaining litle game, AND you ported it for Android. Good job!

Hi there, you did a good job! I really like the game, I played it on my PC and I can imagine that it's really entertaining on a smartphone, too. The graphics and the sound go really well together and the whole game looks pretty ready-for-appstore. Maybe it would have been even better if the compagnion would be animated, I didn't get the purpose of this little guy after I read your description text. Throwing funny things (that are not weapons) towards enemies in order to kill them is not thaaaaat original for this Jam's theme, but I really like your game because of the neat look and feel, and however the game mechanic is entertaining.

Good work. Wrong choices also should have some kind of backlashes, I think.

Wow, what a great game! Simple & sweet!

trasevol_dog 2015-04-25 20:23

Simple and fun. Love it !

Simple, but really charming! I think the biggest problem is that your Gaston look-alike has more character than the sidekick you're playing as. Also, sometimes the bounding areas on the objects seem a little off (or maybe it's a stacking problem?) even with a mouse. With a little building out, this could be a fun game to kill time on the train. Nice job!

I played on Android and got 27 points on my best try. The dragging was really slick (although when I accidentally dropped my weapon in my bag while dragging, it would fall behind all other objects). Graphics and sound are very good and polished. I like simplicity, but I do think it lacks a bit of depth in terms of gameplay, (for a full mobile phone game, and for my taste) - something to consider if you plan to cotinue the development of this idea.

Very nice game :) Very simple, entertaining and fun. Good work ! .

eddynardo 2015-05-06 20:10

Fun little game.I liked the audio .Keep it up!

crazyrems 2015-05-06 20:22

It seems that throwing objects at people is a common unconventional weapon :)
A nice polished game.

crazyal02 2015-05-08 17:00

Basic yet entertaining! The visuals were hilarious!

Sorry, but my anti-virus marked it.

creative630 2015-05-08 20:39

Hidden object + action game? Rad! Really enjoyed it, got 28 on my first try.

@Artylo try disabling your antivirus for a while

smirnov48 2015-05-10 08:49

Wow! Good simple game! 5/5 for great job!

ruerob 2015-05-10 11:12

Ha ha ha! Great game! Nothing more to say! Just great!

The main picture on this page is great.
I played it on windows and I think the game is really for mobile, but thanks for posting a windows version too.
Graphics are funny and good, good sound.

Based on the story and picture I expected it to be a bit more than a 'drag stuff to the circle', but good game nonetheless.
