Untitled.png Killer Newgrounds aesthetic! Gameplay was satisfying and easy to grasp once I got the hang of it. Feels like a roguelike waiting to happen... let me collect more varieties of MEN!

Really fun, really polished, very silly. Balancing was also really good, like thinking about when to burp attack and when to gather to make sure you have enough circle reach felt really nicely done.

2026-04-21 15:04

It's really fun

This is really really good, simplistic but fun!

HEYYYEYEYEYEYEY

Nice idea, love the balance between 3 actions - summoning, controling and attacking. Really fun

crispypear 2026-04-21 16:52

@the-stage-hand BWAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

nordin 2026-04-21 17:37

Love the sound design, the mechanic of controlling the small army also works great :)

orjan 2026-04-21 17:38

I will be hearing the audio from this game in my dreams tonight. Lol love it

saumchick 2026-04-21 17:38

It's fun, the main theme is interpreted quite well.

tesseus 2026-04-21 17:39

Really neat spatial fighting game. The stamina mechanic was interesting to balance with. Consistent style and quality all around, which is awesome!

rushb 2026-04-21 18:57

Great job! Hope you record the sounds by yourself))

crispypear 2026-04-21 19:09

@rushb of course! I hid under my bedsheets and shouted my heart out

rushb 2026-04-21 20:35

@crispypear I want to see the video how it was)))

2026-04-21 20:42

Extremely well designed audio! The idea is cool and the game is so fun to play.

Really awesome idea! The mechanic is perfectly complemented by the excellently crafted sound effects for the signals. It's a shame there's no music, but that's a minor detail. 10/10!

awdsasdaw 2026-04-21 21:45

I love it

jpat 2026-04-21 21:47

10/10 shot so many boogers

awdsasdaw 2026-04-21 21:52

BEST!

2026-04-21 21:52

EYYEHEYEHE

fun game! Love the art and audio.

indiepanda 2026-04-21 22:36

This is sooooo fun!!! Hey ya ya ya!!!

head-priestess-ari 2026-04-21 23:21

Took me a while to get the hang of it, but when I did, absolutely amazing!

darsor 2026-04-22 00:27

HE-HE>:]

really cool and funnyXD

sarah 2026-04-22 01:01

This made me laugh when I first played it, nice job on the sounds haha! I'm not very good at it at all, but it was fun. Well done!

ternarycat 2026-04-22 02:31

Very well balanced

termegus 2026-04-22 06:04

Really awesome. I really liked how there is both room for error but also there is a timer that forces you to be more careful. Also because moving and shooting commands consume the same resource you gotta make decisions on whether or not you should move or shoot. And of course the sounds xD

nyxkn 2026-04-22 07:57

Loved the idea :laughing: Visuals and presentation were great. Audio was super fun too. Overall it was hilarious! Gameplay was a bit unpolished though. Men were too suicidal and wouldn't follow well enough, so the follow mechanic seemed very unreliable, meaning I found that the best strategy is to just ignore boss attacks and spam boogers as fast as you can. I think that can certainly be improved and it would make for a super fun game!

maksim-terskov 2026-04-22 08:13

Hahhaa it was really funny :) Cool art and sound design EEYEEEYEEEYEEEY

crispypear 2026-04-22 08:34

@nyxkn Thanks for playing! And great feedback!

What about the follow mechanic did you feel was unreliable? Did some people in the follow-area stop following you, or was it something else?

2026-04-22 14:59

I really like this art style. It's very interesting and makes for a great game

luckix 2026-04-22 15:05

The sound design is just too good, it's very funny. I lost a lot of men, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make.

dywanix 2026-04-22 16:02

interesting concept!

bananabobbert 2026-04-22 19:02

eeyeeyey braaaaaaagh

goodwayman 2026-04-22 19:33

Very polished and fun game! Also seems very balanced - difficulty was just right for me. Good job!

hexela 2026-04-22 19:35

This is why I consider video games - art!

polyvishap 2026-04-22 21:08

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! (translation: VERY GOOD!!!)

2026-04-23 02:29

HAYAYAYAYAY really fun game with a very simple yet effective concept and just the right amount of challenge. The art reminds me of early Edmund McMillen stuff, and as for the tone of the game, I gotta admit i'm a sucker for this sense of humor and aesthetic so I love it. Super worth playing!

purrseus 2026-04-23 10:58

I have to admit, reading the first two lines of the description on your itch-page DID NOT prepare me for what was about to come - "BOOGERS" on line 3 took me completely off guard :D

Insanely fun! And very nice "Flash era of online games" style :sunglasses:

It was a blast to play, and the balancing worked perfectly for me! Thank you! :heart:

2026-04-23 14:30

Absolutely loved it! Super fun mechanics and even though its simple, it works super well and it makes it throughly enjoyable

Looooved the art as well, big McMillen vibes

franklyn01 2026-04-23 19:08

One of the funniest entries I've played so far! Love the sounds especially :D

bumble 2026-04-23 19:51

Did I just play Pikmin but with men and boogers? Yes I did. And I liked it :smile:

havearollonthefloor 2026-04-23 23:16

Now this is my favorite game on this Ludum! 10/10

pipetto 2026-04-29 11:55

A very good idea and a solid execution! It would be great to have an option for fullscreen or a downloadable .exe, since my browser settings made the experience a bit uncomfortable.

gecko64 2026-04-29 13:15

I loved the game and its execution! Its artstyle was great, One gripe I have is the range to pull the men sometimes depletes to fast and they escape your field. Other than that Good Job :)
