Made it to 2090! Great art and vibes. Fun concept. I thought I could cheese it for a long time, but the inevitable got bigger and bigger and eventually squished everybody.

1140 on my second play. I love the graphics and camera transition. Overall pretty slick with a small looking scope, I like. If there was more, I would have liked a few different strats to employ (at least more obvious ones) as well as different slope courses. But that's probably an obvious suggestion.

@thebooksnail thanks so much for playing, and those are great suggestions! I would of loved to do some different courses!

This is a pleasant short experience. The cheery music made me want to continue expending ghosts for as long as possible. I'm sure there's a way to cheese the score and I might continue to try my best to do better. The only feedback that I can provide is that the text was difficult to read. Otherwise, great experience.

Really cool game! It was fun to try it out. I saved 1790 people.

This was a lot of fun and even though it was bad for me, letting the big rolling guy go flying was fun for some reason :D

holtzzy223 2022-04-07 16:37

@gamesplusjames glad you enjoyed this!

A cute game! I really like the lizard illustration. Combining the people placement felt good when I was able to make him roll upwards, wish there were more combo moves :) (or maybe I didn't find out?)

Or maybe like a shop where you can buy something for the souls :)

Anyway, a nice entry, good job guys!

I had a blast with this! Think I had a score of 3500, which I was proud of! It seemed interesting the strategies of timing when you place peeple, and where - as it could push back the inevitable! It was all very thematic too, felt it was simple but well executed. I would also have liked some more feedback to know how close to the town I was as I get pushed further and further down.

@honest-dan thanks so much for playing, and I'm so happy you enjoyed my game :)

@elysiagriffin TY 4 PLAYING :)

holtzzy223 2022-04-09 21:19

@arthurds damn bruh you crushed the game

Interesting concept. Art was fun. Music felt a little too upbeat for what was happening, but maybe that was intentional.

I need to know how big the houses are for the large Peeple.

I agree that having some sense of how close I am to the town would be nice. I thought I was crushing it because I bounced the lizard back up the hill a bunch, but it turns out that I wasn't doing as well as I thought.

holtzzy223 2022-04-12 20:36

@0x746564 the houses are a bit like a TARDIS

holtzzy223 2022-04-13 15:25

@zimny11 thnaks for playing! glad you enjoyed it. :)

common 2022-04-14 16:10

The art was fun and the gameplay fit the theme very well. As some people have said I thought I was doing better then I was so an indicator of the lizards position would be helpful.

So glad I saw this one on Aarimous' stream! This was quite a bit of fun. Simple but super cute. Great sound work as well.

I'd have liked to see more power ups, maybe like ice mages, or things to collect. overall just fun.

holtzzy223 2022-04-14 20:25

@common thanks for playing, definitley will be adding in a progress mete post jam

holtzzy223 2022-04-14 20:25

@cyzaine thanks for the playthrough! love the ice mage idea!

Got a 2700 thanks to putting big people directly between the ball and the person holding it, which would launch it away for a bit. It was fun to mess around with the physics, although the small people seemed difficult to use efficiently. A wider variety of things to buy that had tradeoffs relative to each other would be a fun extension.

animawish 2022-04-15 07:16

Really nice game! That's one heavy dragon. Felt a little cheeky popping him in the air by jamming nerds under him

martink 2022-04-17 23:20

Very nice; the graphics are well done, you picked a simple project and implemented it well.

* The outlines of your sprites are different widths, having a consistent line width would have tied the graphics together a little more cohesively. * The gameplay does one thing well. But it might be too simple, powerups or a wider range of people would help the replayability.

Altogether, a great entry.

This one was quite great! The concept was super simple, very well executed, and very well thought out. Tbh I'm not really sure how people got such high scores. I could only get up to like 1300. Anyways, the only *real* critique I had is that restarting the game took too long. Going up the hill the first time was cool, but doing it multiple times when I had to restart was a pain. Great game though! I really enjoyed.

holtzzy223 2022-04-21 13:08

@mateu thanks for playing! yeah i totally agree could of jsut started at the top!

outfrost 2022-04-21 16:12

Humorous take on the theme, I like it. I enjoyed lobbing The Great Inevitable back up the mountain - until I misplaced a peep and ended up fast-tracking Delaney's destruction.

holtzzy223 2022-04-21 16:18

@outfrost im glad you enjoyed it! I have sped up Delaney's destruction many times XD
