Mind Your Minions

Took me a little bit to understand what I was doing and how I was meant to do it (dw, not your fault.)

On startup, the music kind of got me out of nowhere, it was loud and I didn't see any slider to adjust the volume. It was good music tho.

Great concept! looks like something I would see in an actual game.

Although, one major downside is that you can fly. I'm not sure if you accidentally left it in or if it was a bug, but it enabled me to skip to the bomb companion, throw him and then get out without using anything else.

Ignoring that, if you miss with the grey one, you don't get him back. Which can be problematic considering there is no quick restart button so you have to kill yourself.

Overall though, pretty ok! Definitely room for improvement.

Cool use of graphics! I liked the minions, feels like an original mechanic with the different types. I like the bobbi-ness of the game characters.

@rjwest07 @dry-squid Thank you for playing our game and thank you for the comments!

Being able to fly was a bug. I was able to fix it 20 minutes before the deadline (it was just a boolean not being changed), but it looks like I forgot to update the .zip upload to the correct final version after that, which should now be fixed on the itch.io page. You can launch the fire minion to press the button as well, though aiming it ended up more difficult than we wanted since it is larger (sorry about that!).
