I played like crazy! I can't clear stage 3 😂

Music just hits right!

Very well done! Liked those puzzles.

linus-szokody 2022-04-05 15:23

the style and puzzle idea is great. it feels very polished but i also can't get past stage 3 ^^

Great game! The art, music, and level design were all really good and the concept makes for some interesting puzzles. I got the hang of the mechanics pretty quickly but I think the game could do with a bit more of a tutorial at the beginning, for example I couldn't find the graphic you've got on this page with the different character behaivours anywhere in game (but I might just've missed it).

good puzzler. But the bots really like lava. good choice to make a lvl select option on the title screen.

Very interesting gameplay (but my last brain cell took offense at me :grinning:), good art, music was nice for first few minutes but then it seemed to me too monotonous. Anyway, nice job that looks almost finished.

This is SUCH A GOOD GAME. I got really stuck on level 5, tried for like 15 minutes to figure it out but no dice. Got any hints? I would love to keep going! I love how dumb the lil dummies are! I would play soooo many levels of this.

(Also I somehow managed to publish two identical comments and it looks like I can't delete it, I can only edit it. So you get DOUBLE comments from me.)

This is probably the coolest game I've seen in the jam so far, it's a little hard to believe just *how* dumb these dummies are sometimes, but that's just the fun of it :D Overall really solid design! (I didn't even see that you explained the characters' individual quirks here, I thought it was really fun to figure them out on my own :3)

It's a fun and challenging puzzle game. Some levels I have to do trial and error to figure out how the pathfinding algorithm works.

Incredible pixel art work, the sounds are very good, the music seemed more appropriate for a detective game jaja! Still, it adds a lot to the mystery. Excellent game design work, very well thought out puzzles. Great job

Really fun and challenging, the music and sound design are awesome

raxah 2022-04-05 15:51

Really great puzzle game. The mechanics are intuitive without being explained (or you figure it out really quick). The difficulty curve is balanced for the levels and the art + sounds are good and consistent. Only thing I am missing is the reference to the theme. Great job overall!

Fantastic, incredibly polished little game. I got stuck on level 7 but I appreciate that you can skip levels... Graphics and music are cute and fit the style an I really like the little humourous touches, like the animations or the fighter pacing back and forth at the exit :D

metzkermeister 2022-04-05 17:11

My only complaint is that there aren't more levels. :D

hekateras 2022-04-05 17:57

NO!!! The ending! I got emotionally attached to these idiots! XD

david-york 2022-04-05 21:47

Really great work! These were every interesting puzzles. Also I killed my guys many, many, many times learning what motivates them :smile: A+ for art and music.

autogibbon 2022-04-05 22:58

This was so satisfying to play; level design, the characters actually having character, the puzzles AND the trick solutions. I played for a looong time and thoroughly enjoyed it, everything was spot on.

Really F*ing Well Done!!

Great puzzler! Kinda lemmings meets that vikings game. Quite clever!

sapantaha 2022-04-06 16:22

Great game! The levels are really well designed. The difficulty curve is also on point. I love how you incorporated the characters' personalities with the gameplay.

shawn-moore 2022-04-07 01:19

I caught your game on a stream and immediately pulled it up to play too. The bassline is DOPE, love the clean art style, and the puzzle design has a great ramp, and is surprisingly deep and nuanced. I have no constructive criticism to offer, this game is a gem and the only thing missing is I would play through as many levels as you put out there.

renrok 2022-04-07 18:53

Awesome game! Interesting mechanics and well crafted puzzles. Really liked how you introduced each characters' behavior interactively and slowly built up difficulty. Level 7 seemed the hardest to me though, spent the most time on it compared to all the other levels. The artstyle is adorable and soundtrack is enjoyable but not distractive.

The only downside for me is that it didn't seem to tie well to the theme. I think your concept is "delay the heroes inevitable death in the end" but tbh felt more like I was accelerating things by helping... and getting them to the boss quicker :smile:

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream for feedback! If you’d like to revisit the play and commentary you can view the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1448957668

Great puzzle game, this kind of thing is my jam!I had a really good time with this one.

At least 95% of the interactions were either apparent or readily discoverable, and watching things unfold to misfortune was a joy. There were just a couple of places (I guess mostly around line-of-sight, which can always be tricky on a grid) where it was a bit opaque -- maybe if e.g. the thief's thought bubble were supplemented with a dashed-line to the thing he noticed it would call better attention to that interaction.

One of the best I've played yet for LD50. Definitely a challenge, but I'm glad I stuck with it to the hilarious ending. Great job!
