Nice art style and camera movement, was pretty cool overall

I had fun with this one. It's similar to Lemmings, but it's different enough to be interesting. Art is great.

That level where you have to pile up your own bodies to get down made me laugh.

Rock solid game.

LOVE the graphics and a very good platform game :D

I felt so bad for the little fellas '^^

Clever puzzles and adorable graphics.

Excellent all around, very cute monsters
Saddest ending ever :(

Very polished entry! The puzzles were all interesting to solve, although it took me quite a while to realize the trick of the second to last one. The game is too sad, though :(

Wish it had wasd control for the camera since the screen edge detection can be finicky.

Anyways, a fast forward button and some hotkeys would have been nice. The camera movement was tedious (why can't I just use my arrow keys?) and some levels were really confusing (like the first one with spikes). Also, the music sounds like it's randomly generated (not nice) and is really repetitive.

Lemmings! Minions look like plankton from Spongebob. Very clean work with graphics and gameplay. Annoying thing is that 'daddy sound' playing 10 times at the end of every level :D

Well, that title totally managed to catch my attention! Nice work putting the game together, you definitely managed to put in plenty of interesting mechanics. It would be nice if they were explained a little clearer though, the idea that you could cover pits by dropping minions from high enough up took a while to figure out, as did that the green spikes were grass (maybe brambles would be clearer).

Also, you can finish level three without clicking at all ; )

This game is so amazing! Really challenging puzzles, beautiful music, nice use of the theme, great art. Loved it!

Great game. Last level felt a bit wrong, because you need to use an effect which, during the entirity of the game, felt as an unwelcome effect that cheats you out of a figure.

Really great! Very polished. Sometimes it is hard to get the timing right so the minions do not get stuck. But apart from that very very good!

Best game since Lemmings! Good polish. I love how they yelled "Daddy!" But Daddy doesn't care. Get exploded.

Really nice entry!!

dickpoelen 2015-08-28 08:38

Very fun clever little game. Love that you have to use corpses!

Great job! I played the compo entry and can see why you'd make keyboard camera control. The camera control was my only complaint.

triplevisiongames 2015-08-31 08:21

Compo link doesn't seem to work? Just goes to a blank google drive?

"Daaady ! Daaady ! Daaady !"

One of the best Compo games I've seen. There's literally like 2 or 3 games I've rated with an almost a flawless score all across the categories, and this is one of them.

As it's been said before by others, the window "edge" detection for the camera doesn't work very well, so having a keyboard-controlled alternative (post-compo) was definitely a good move.

My only complaint would be that the first levels does not scale in difficulty very well. Level 2 and 3 are definitely "easier" than lv.1 mainly because they require less time-critical actions and there's more space between the places where you are required to act. Later levels had a steady increase in complexity and challenge that felt good. Timing the "fire" to melt ice platforms in last levels was really tricky, but workable.

Having said that, it's a REALLY well polished game, with a lot of interesting mechanics and interactions.

This is a truly wonderful game overall. 5/5. Congratulations.

Really nice game, always loved Lemmings.

Great pixel art, cute sounds and very well made. Had lots of fun trying this.

Excellent!
