Very cool concept! The atmosphere is perfectly set between the graphics and audio. However I got stuck on level 2, Steve did eat the meat after the second door and didn't make it any further =/ I also struggled to get him out at the end of the tutorial, had to stay close to the wall to make him follow. With a few bug fixing this would be a super fun game!
No bug for me and I won the game :) it did take me a little while to understand what was going on though. For example, I didn't know the villagers appearing next to the ogre were what he wanted, it would be useful to have a backdrop behind them like a thought bubble or a wooden sign or something. I also never figured out why some villagers could receive a role or an upgrade; sometimes I couldn't assign anything until a while after they spawned. It did keep me going though until I completed it, so good job :)
Very cute art style, however I wasn't 100% what I was meant to do - I went through villages but the horde always caught up and killed me :(
I like the concept! However the lamp was too bright and prevented seeing where I was going. It's a cool idea to control the mouse and keyboard at the same time for a platformer, but I don't have an english keyboard so the placement of the A and D keys was a bit awkward, especially when I had to press the other keys on top.
Love the art style, everything fits together so well! The game struggled a bit when I died or a boulder fell. Overall a great game jam product, good job!
@kjscott thank you for your feedback! We feel the same way, alas we ran out of time to fine tune it at the end.
The game looks very polished for a game jam project! As mentioned above, the camera was off-centered sometimes so I couldn't see some of the blocks. I actually got stuck at a level with the water genie and genuinely couldn't figure out how to beat it :(
Super cute art style, but as @albionbrown said nothing happens when pressing space.
