Love the mechanics of this game, it was fun trying to wrangle the lil guys. But there were a lot of things in the way unfortunately, like being unable to maneuver the camera in any meaningful way (which was very frustrating) and it seemed like the 3rd level was unplayable! I really wanted to see the rest of the game, hope you get these issues worked out! Good ideas here, I wanna see more like this.

How does your game represent "Power"?
The premise of the game is that you are an evil wizard king that got captured, and your devout minions are attempting to rescue you. Using your magic power, you are able to control them and tell them what to do. Alas, even with all of your magical prowess, and your very clear instructions, you are powerless to your underling's absolute lack of intelligence.
We interpreted the word "Power" as in "Authority" or "Power Over Others," and we built a game around this definition.
