This is a quirky game. Fighting giant chickens, moving caves, sacrificing tiny red dudes - you're right, it is an experience. I quite liked it. The music is chill. The way the little guys move around is pretty charming. Tbf, I'm not sure what to make of it because it's a pretty left-field concept. I did enjoy it, though!

Pretty interesting concept! There's a lot potential.

Feels very Monty-Python-esque with the art style, which I absolutely love. Super quirky game, I didn't really have a chance to get into the meat of it, but I had to appreciate the style!

Interesting concept. I like the hand as the cursor and the curious nature of things in the game. As @human-writes-code said, it's quirky! So the red people, I get their role, and I seemed to "sacrifice" the yellow people to build stuff, but once the blue people carried the hammer to the start location, do they do anything else? Can I build anywhere else? I saw three "vacancies" to build on, and I built the blue option twice. Anyway, interesting concept.

@tohubohu The main purpose of the blue ones is to carry things to the main base. They are essential to end the game by carrying the cave to the main base.

Thank you a lot everyone for your comments. They are really cheering even if we didn't have enough time to put everything we designed before producing the game.

Interesting! How many blue ones do you need to carry the cave? Didn't seem to be able to get enough. Also I built only the 'church' type of building, which I think means I'm not going to get any more blue peeps = never winning the game?

A very curious little thing - but still definitely a game!

Interesting concept and simulation!

Great job guys with this game ! Sometimes I was lost in the map and no easy may to find my troups easily but I enjoyed playing ! Nice music by the way.

Interesting game, I wasnt sure how to move the cave in the end though. I piled a heap of blue guys on the cave but they didnt seem to want to move it.

Overall an enjoyable game to play. The music was relaxing and the graphics/animation charming. I do think it's quite easy to lose flags on the map, and I wasn't 100% on how to perform the sacrifices which somewhat stunted my progress a little. Good job

I love the art style and concept of the game, it fits the theme and is well executed. Nice work!

I didn’t understand anything, but it’s probably terribly interesting, as a first experience it is extremely canceptual but also not very balanced)

lazygamedevza 2019-10-08 13:17

This is definitely quite an interesting concept, but I felt a little lost as I wasn't quite sure what the purpose was of the game.

tcicerodev 2019-10-08 13:36

A little hard to figure out what to do even with the tips. But overall a really cool concept. I especially liked the animations for the little guys!

gregoire 2019-10-08 13:45

Thx @all

We know that things are missing and that it is difficult to understand. We appreciate your feedback and the fact that you like this experience !

Thanks you ;)

Curious game, nice animations. Hard to figure it out but quite satisfying once you do.

guttykreum 2019-10-09 07:46

Very interesting concept and nice music. Got the red beings to punch some chickens but found their speed to be a tad slow to get to places. I could be missing something though especially with a unique concept like this.

gregoire 2019-10-09 07:53

@guttykreum There are the blues if you click on the water And there are yellows if you click on lemons

Yes it's not easy to understand ahah

coisne-nathan 2019-10-10 08:07

Really enjoyed the fact that you can control an army to kill chickens !

gregoire 2019-10-10 08:38

@coisne-nathan thx my boy ;)

les-strateges 2019-10-10 17:38

It is indeed more of a experience than a game but it has some cool concept and some potential! The music and sfx are cool though, and it's visually coherent.

demuss 2019-10-11 10:56

Well, this was an experience

saering 2019-10-11 20:31

... j'ai pas les mots

joe40001 2019-10-29 20:39

Definitely an experience. It's almost I'd call it almost avante-garde but I usually use that as an insult lol.

Just the right amount of weird, and very well executed for what it was. 5/5 on the mood, I don't know what the mood was, but it definitely had a mood.
