I LOVE your pixel art. And the mechanics were super fun :) Well done :3

Playing this was a ton of fun, I really liked the idea I. The pixel art was really nice and the game in general is a good twist on the theme. The only thing is that I think the dungeon is too hard to complete compared to how hard it is to kill the other guys. But in general really good submission :3

You could have called this game Indiana Jones and his band of merry Nazis and no one would've argued with you.

Although I did manage to beat the game despite all of my minions dying early, I do like the idea that you have the maximum number of them and they decrease over time rather than having something increase over time like what most people went with.

Although I do have to mention that there's a visual glitch on the walls where there's a green line sometimes.

Feels like real time lemmings for some reason. Good idea and execution!

I got to the treasure chest and then the time ran out :(

Probably should be a liiittle bit more time.

I assume you're supposed to kill the dudes in black behind you -- they all died on their own though. Fun game, although I wish I wasn't so slippery :D

It's hard ! The management of the explorers is very nice in any case! Good job! =)

Cool pixel art, decent presentation.

The idea is really cool, but I really wish the game engages more with it. They basically all die of their own accord and there was literally no reason to think about the mechanic at all. It would be more of a challenge to get at least some of them to the end, which was basically impossible.

The character is also really slidey, so that makes the precision platforms really difficult to do, and that's not a fun difficulty.

Seems you have a concept similar to our idea, but you took it the exact opposite way :) It was very interesting to watch your game! I loved the pixel art, the little nazis were really cool to look at. It's funny to watch them splatter to their death. The blood splatters are done well. The nazis do seem a bit too likely to die, mostly because your level is fiendishly difficult.

Interesting concept, but controls and platforming are awful. AI also stupid so everyone dies after 3-d trap...

I really liked the concept, it gave me a little "prince of persia" feeling! Controls have to be improved as well as team members AI. Great job anyway!

Ooooh Boy I had fun with this one! The pixel art, the zany over the top pixel gore, and the speed of the game is just great! One thing that I would consider adding would be different jump heights for how long you held the jump key. Other than the Good Job! Lots of Fun!
