I had fun playing it, you should finish it, it has potential! :smile:

Would have been a great game if you were not feeling bad :/ I had a lot of fun and even if there's no precise goal, I still kept playing until I scored 35 haha

Realy nice game! It's potapon and lemmings alike) Realy fun!

Love the little guys in this game! The flips are so satisfying, I ended up sticking around until 140~

Wish they could jump off of each other, even if it knocked the bottom ones downwards. It would be hilarious to see an exploding ball of 200 monsters just to launch 1 onto a ledge :smile:

Now, who is the master?

The core idea is valid, but it need more testing. As now there is no reward for moving or loosing the "lemmings".

Waiting for a postjam version :-D

maniulo 2020-04-20 21:20

Such an awesome idea!

alexey-kuzovkov 2020-04-21 10:03

The core idea is really great. But there is no challenge, because there is no way to actually lose this game. Also, I was able to "hack" it by constantly pressing right + space bar. That makes tiny guys fly, which makes it easy to earn high score.

Very nice! :D (Got over 400 https://imgur.com/a/PJOUzM3)

really great idea!

llewellyn-and-michael 2020-04-21 10:05

Really funny, cool mechanics, It was much more fun when i realised there was a double jump :laughing:

kr4xkan 2020-04-21 10:08

Got 1000 pretty funny tho after a few minutes you only have to jump, quite a funny experience tho

polyorbit-studio 2020-04-21 10:09

The game is really fun, the core mechanic is good but after around 30 guy you just have to spam the jump key and your score will be rising really fast, i dont konw if that is normal ! But good game ;) !

So fun to play!! Controlling all those little birds feels great, even without a clearly goal. Good job, and I hope you feel better now :)

flashmonkey 2020-04-21 10:23

I really likedt the game, the concept is cool. The Character Designs are so adorable 😍

Don't know if this was a bug, but after a while it was possible to do mid-air jumps :sweat_smile:

gaminghamster 2020-04-21 10:49

Despite it's unfinished state I really liked this. Getting more and more minions to control as the score increases is neat and I can definitely see future mechanics where that would play a huge part ^^ Would not mind seeing a more fleshed out version of this one =)

snowycocoon 2020-04-21 10:57

cool game but the more monsters you have the easier game gets

hexa3 2020-04-21 10:58

This is a funny one, and sure deserve some polishing ))

gimblll 2020-04-21 11:07

That monster sure is hungry. I fear it might develop a tummy ache so I think I should stop feeding it. But the birds just keep coming! And they are delicious! What a predicament!

sheetcode 2020-04-21 11:53

Haha, great game, need few polishing for gameplay (platform moved to the position where I couldn't pass) but I enjoyed this game :)

jorbits 2020-04-21 12:11

@sheetcode you are able to jump of walls, with a bit of trial and error it's possible to get over that ledge you are talking about :wink:

Thanks to everyone so far for their feedback!

forevertrash 2020-04-21 12:39

The fact you weren't feeling well and left the game in it's current state is suprising by how well done it is. Despite the fact you don't really have a goal it's super fun just to watch the death mechanics and it's really nicely made, the explosion death and the blood and the characters are all super nicely done. Super cool concept I wish I could've seen a finished version. But after around round 30 the platform stop randomly changing, but before that it's such a cool feature. Awesome job bro! Definitely one of the best games I've played so far I'm so surprised.

smbe19 2020-04-21 13:33

Very nice game. Even though it is not finished, it was quite a bit of fun to play.

wheffle 2020-04-22 19:45

Strangely satisfying to play. You were on a great track, too bad you got sick! Thanks for releasing it anyway and allowing me a few minutes of odd catharsis.

blue-pin-studio 2020-04-22 19:48

Got to about 400+ before i stopped but it was fun to see the progression of starting with 1 and ending up with enough to flood the screen and ignore the platforms. Very satisfying :)

palsina 2020-04-22 19:51

Even in this state is funny and fun to play. I wish you had the second day to finish it!

dankar 2020-04-22 19:54

Even though it's not finished I had really fun just spamming the jump button and try to feed the bird-creature with as many dudes as possible at the same time :) I it's developed further it could make for a really good game!

untitled-studios 2020-04-22 19:56

Wow! I would love to see what another day of development would do to this game! (: It has such a natural comedy to it's mechanics that kept a smile on my face the whole time. Please, please keep developing this.

maverick-fan 2020-04-22 19:59

Oh my god. How greedy this monster is. I think I finally understand how this game should be play after scoring to 1000. Why not come a monster beating monster mode? Think it would be another interesting idea to see how the gathering ingredience fight back the monster, haha. Anyway, very very cool and addictive game. Appreciate it!

shivart 2020-04-22 20:07

it's fun

I think the simple games are always the most fun, this is really fun although at its current state doesnt feel challenging.

zerohbeat 2020-04-22 20:07

Really cool and simple concept. Really enjoyed playing it even in this state! Very addictive and very funny. Really enjoyed waiting and making a large and tall group just so that I could get more of them for feeding. Thank you for the experience.

untitled-studios 2020-04-22 20:08

Oh and also, to one-up everyone else in this comments section:fdas.PNG

ponypen 2020-04-22 20:10

This is a fantastic game, I think it is my favourite of LD!! I've been having fun going well over 500 with these cute lil black alien blobs. I can't help but think they look a bit like black minions.

docgeraud 2020-04-22 20:14

Even if you could not finish, it is still pretty fun to play with. Well done!

crisfalcon 2020-04-22 20:27

Although it's unfinished, I had a LOT of fun playing it. You should definitely keep working on it!

grtodaro 2020-04-22 21:09

It's realy too much fun. I'm still laughing XD

gwinnell 2020-04-27 21:05

This game is hilarious! Like some kind of cookie clicker platformer! :laughing: :cookie:
