@jannick-larsen No window appeared when you ran it?
@paperjack no, i could see it in task manager but not as something that had a window, more like a task running in the background.
This was so fun. Love the flinging of the "death squad" haha. The only issue I had was with the controls. Sometimes at the beginning when I still had most of my squad, it was difficult to change directions and I was stuck for a few seconds up against walls etc. Really enjoyed it though. Awesome job.
Fun little game with a silly concept, nonetheless I liked it. I also like the challenge that was moving the entire squad and not accidentally driving half of them into one of those spinny red boxes.

@jannick-larsen I made a webgl build - https://itch.io/embed-upload/1166217
the tossing animation for the gnomes is hilarious. Movement was a bit awkward tho. The music played very quietly for me, but when I turned up the system volume I enjoyed it.
@paperjack Thanks, i finally got to play it! :D i like the graphis, the walls are stretched and it is very easy to see. i like the sound fx, but they are a bit to low. i love the idea with the sacrifice! it's fun to just blow up the world with gnomes. the movement was a bit weird though.
The game was fun but the movement was sometimes unresponsive which made it feel frustrating after a while. Flinging the gnomes was great!
The gnome flinging! Such a tasty mechanic. The gibs strewn across the snow was super grim but funny. I could have played more but the unresponsive controls sucked some fun out of the game for me. The visual humor, and the graphics overall, were the highlights of the game. :thumbsup:
Nice game! I like the art
Like the game, it was hard to control due to the leader of the pack mentality. Still I love the graphics and its something new that I've not played before. Good Job!
Great idea! Pretty funny, but when the army is sliding it makes a bit difficult to control them
@antti-tiihonen @fnissalot @mzhovnach @c1fr1 @amanda-priest I tried fixing the movement to be more responsive and less slidey but it actually made the game less fun. I suppose the ingame reason is that it's a gaggle of angry drunken gnomes so of course it's going to be hard to control them :D
Very fun! I really love this game! But just a little difficult to control.
So much fun lol! Movement controls are wonky but everything else felt perfect. Also the fun of launching exploding gnomes!
I really like the idea of having a big mob to sacrifice. The controls are a bit wonky but really good job anyways!
A really, really fun game! I love the way you used the theme of sacrifices, that was a good idea. Such an interesting mechanic. It would have been awesome to have some explosion sfx, though. Anyway, congrats! :D
Fun game. The movement is a little hard and you might improve the graphics a bit but overall it was fun. But you really should have to use slow motion in this game. There was a gif you send in the discord and it just looked awesome in my opinion :smile:
@game-mon have you tried the .exe ? The gnomes do explode with sfx :)
