I really enjoyed this game. Like the grim (very cute!) and gameplay it's very adictive. Make different types of minions it's a great feature. Congrats!

mr-possoms 2015-08-25 16:10

This is awesome. Great job guys!

jordinuco 2015-08-25 16:20

Good game, great mechanics and controls, it could be a big one with some weeks of level design. Go for it!

perecil 2015-08-25 16:24

The best game so far!

spyboy 2015-08-25 16:30

That was so cool. I mean the sound is great, graphism are great, the gameplay is quite simple to take in hands and so addictive, the level are pretty cool (this is just weird that you must suicide yourself when you can't have zombies and the fact that soldiers aren't aggro by the shots of my zombies) my favorite by far!

unept 2015-08-25 19:39

Hey, love the graphics and the take on the theme. I can't get past level 2, am I missing something? One of my favorites so far!

francismoy 2015-08-25 19:40

Good mechanics, nice pixel-art... Really enjoyable over-all! :-D

jackdegree 2015-08-25 19:44

Awesome! One of the best games I've player yet!

crucknuk 2015-08-25 21:00

Nice concept! Maybe you should speed up player movement to make it funnier

minionstudios 2015-08-25 22:44

Dude, so fun and so original - plays great and that moment when you realize you can reanimate the people your dead kill? PRICELESS. Super fun.

sparrow 2015-08-25 23:02

Awesome and well polished! Had a bit of lag when I had a lot of minions.

ponywolf 2015-08-27 23:23

So. Freaking. Awesome. I look for your games since I played your LD30 entry. We didn't use melonJS this time, but we should have.

nikteddy92 2015-08-28 00:53

GREAT! One of the best entry of this LD33!
I love the graphic, really enjoy the gameplay(smooth, simple and a bit challenging!) and the audio is perfect!
10/10 Great Work!

schnerble 2015-08-28 01:10

Nice work! Graphics, sound, controls, and style are all very nicely done. It was mostly pretty easy, though - except if I happened to look away when there was a magic-shooty-guy nearby and he insta-killed me.

questionablequality 2015-08-28 01:26

So without a doubt my favourite entry yet, this is awesome love the art and the while thing was so addictive. Nice one!

robotmeal 2015-08-28 01:26

Wow, great game! Love the art direction and audio. Fun to play. Has some resemblance to deepnight's "Cortex" entry for the compo. My favorite jam entry so far. Hope I see this high up in the Jam rankings!

moomoo112 2015-08-28 01:38

Can they really be monsters if they are so adorable? Lovely game!

pierrec 2015-08-28 05:52

Fun!
I feel the mouse+keyboard controls were unnecessary, I played almost all the game with the keyboard only. With a bit better pathfinding, mouse wouldn't be necessary at all!

skullpixel 2015-08-30 01:20

This is what I was going for. Now just if I had tried to keep it simpler.

mach60kas 2015-08-30 01:55

Beautiful graphics, good use of the theme and great audio work. The game leaves you feeling both crafty and powerful - working out the best way to crush the opponents is extremely entertaining. The only thing that bothered me was that the web version began to slow down very heavily for armies above 30 skeletons. I had a great time playing this, well done! :D

grywhttl 2015-08-30 02:08

This is fantastic. Kept me playing the longest out of all the games I've played so far. Great job!

ewchap 2015-08-30 04:08

Love the game. Feels very solid for only 72 hours. Great artwork/music/sound. Fun mechanics, cant really find anything to complain about at all.

tmpxyz 2015-08-30 06:26

This game is very well implemented, hope there're more mechanisms.

creamybacon1 2015-08-30 06:56

It's like a more interactive plague inc! I love it!

chris-olsen 2015-08-30 07:22

This is a stunning entry. Really engaging mechanics and a gorgeous aesthetic and sound. Well done guys!

matzigon 2015-08-30 11:27

Nice game! Pathfinding could be better, minions tend to stack up instead of attacking. But still enjoyable and fun!

inbetweengames 2015-08-30 13:09

Wow that was really fun! Rise my minions! RIZE!
MuuuhahahaahahahaMUUHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAAAAHHAAAA!

miltage 2015-08-30 16:12

Top notch. I had a lot of fun playing this one. Ran into a bug where one of the humans was unreachable, thus preventing me from completing the level: http://i.imgur.com/rCaeFoM.png

derr 2015-08-31 13:29

Definitely one of the best games I have played. Very well implemented. The game is challenging but never unfair.

saintheiser 2015-09-01 17:27

Really awesome entry! Theme intrpretated at 100%!
Game mechanics also awesome! It's looking too easy at first levels, but furthers game becomes more and more difficult! But last level seems easier than previous too where I spend 10-20 tries.. Excellent job, man! My favourite game on this LD!

kles4enko 2015-09-03 07:51

My favorite entry. Good job!

flannelvindicate 2015-09-03 16:04

Psssst- You are on today's Ludum Dare to Believe! Check it out at - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKciP1W-aKk

placatedduck 2015-09-03 16:59

Awesome entry! Didn't end up need to do much micro, as recall OP. Good work! =P

drauthius 2015-09-03 20:06

Quite a nice game! Very nice graphics and indicators. The only problem was that the raised dead got stuck the whole time. It was fairly challenging at times, but a bit repetitive.

kerotan24 2015-09-07 15:41

Really awesome game!

scorched 2015-09-07 19:46

Love graphics and music and atmosphere overall, but a bit hardcore for me for permadeath. Also criers ran to the edge, and I had to push skeletons like boxes on them:-P

dejvo 2015-09-07 20:33

WOW! really amazing! really fun and well made! pretty unique mechanics. well done!

pirate_shell 2015-09-07 20:58

The idea was fantastic! Not much necromancy seen in LD entries. The art and music were outstanding and I especially loved the strategy of limiting the minions at the start introduced. It's all about what order you kill people in. I loved it!

stending 2015-09-07 22:35

Amazing, like everytime =)

hotboxgames 2015-09-07 23:52

Awesome game, loved the art and the audio, and loved the game-play, it was a bit repetitive after a while but what ludum dare game isn't.

grouflon 2015-09-08 08:21

One of my favorite game in this ludum dare. It's a great idea and the gameplay is simple and effective.

joshua_burr 2015-09-08 15:30

Amazing, I really enjoyed that. The most fun game I have played so far this LD. The controls felt a bit fiddly.

gammel 2015-09-08 15:47

Great game! The graphics, sound and gameplay were good.

What i didn't like:
- Pathfinding (Improving it might be a problem considering the low fps i got on the last levels)
- Lack of story.
- Last levels are as hard as the first ones (:P)
- Lacks strategy.
- Units getting stuck in the map corners.

crawler-studios 2015-09-08 22:11

Graphics and music were great!

bombjack 2015-09-09 11:08

amazing gameplay. I had so much fun. great game :)

rein1 2015-09-14 06:37

Very good game and graphics. Cool ideas! Pretty cool! One of the best games in this festival!

yuigoto 2015-09-14 09:50

Nice! The game is well made and it totally felt like a 16-bit console game, because of both graphics and sound.

Good work on the pixel art here, on tilesets, characters, objects and all other sprites, it's all nicely made. Soundtrack and SFX wise, it's also really good, the music fits perfectly into the game, and that Altered Beast line. :P

Controls are simple to use and also fitting for the gameplay, +1 for the ability to recall your minions. Also, nice to think about the shotgun dude as having a somehow limited respawn. :P

lastleaf 2015-09-14 16:44

Nice game. Fun. Love the mechanics. Well done!
The only thing I could complain about is - this HTML5 game does not work on my firefox (mouse does not work).

cudabear 2015-09-14 17:16

Wow, this is by far the best game I've played for the jam! I can't spot almost no flaw here, everything looks great, feels great, and sounds great. It's incredibly fun to cause so much destruction, and my only complaint is perhaps the level design is a bit too easy.

xvw 2015-09-14 17:28

Awesome polished game !

personalurban 2015-09-14 20:08

Rare that a ludum dare approaches genuine playing depth, but I didnt realise you could click-move your little dudes for a while which added a new dynamic. nice. and looks great too.

reddogstone 2015-09-14 20:25

Wow, one of the best games I have played in LD33. Very well polished, strategic, challenging and simply fun!

frostvoid 2015-09-14 20:41

Great fun, only 4 hours left so I think I'll end on a high note and let this be the last game I rated :)

boaheck_artgent 2015-09-14 20:45

One of my favorites so far.

mikeenoch 2015-09-14 21:45

Awesome, a very complete little game, really enjoyed it!

littlestllama6 2015-09-19 20:18

Crying naked men. 10/10

jupiter_hadley 2015-10-19 16:34

Lovely graphics, cool game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/sWM7EbBXpJg
