In what way does your game fit the theme?
Having to switch between controlling multiple characters in a platform can get pretty chaotic!

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself and made some of the assets but most of the assets were not made by me.

Not bad! I thought that the window where you can click on each peasant was a little small, it made hot swapping between them kind of frustrating if you were just a little off in the chaos of it all. Still, I really enjoyed it! Clean art, solid mechanics, could've used a little more juice, but overall pretty good!

Unfortunately the game was impossibly hard to play with a touch pad but I like the idea a lot!

Very cool idea. The task of managing so many different characters at once and losing control of them as soon as you manage another one gets very chaotic indeed pretty quickly. And also very challenging, which I like a lot! 

The graphics and music are fine, though some interactions definitely lack sound, that would have made it even nicer. I personally think it's okay to select characters with the mouse, it definitely adds to the chaos, and simply assigning buttons to each character as other commenters have suggested might have made the game too easy.

I definitely recommend everyone to give it a try!

Cool idea that is definitely on the theme of managing a chaotic stream of people. Like other comments, I think if the people were tied to keys it would be nice. Also, being it's a game where it's going to take a lot of tries per level, maybe after the first death, the warm-up timer before it starts could be shortened so I can get right back into my next attempted. Nice game!

Cool game with a fresh new idea. Could definitely use some general polish in most areas, but hey it was made in a week.

Developer

There were definitely things I wish I could have done to improve it but didn't have time for. Thanks for giving it a try!

This is a fun game, cool soundtrack too. Its a bit hard game to win, if we could select players with keys it would have been a lot easier i guess... Great game!

Developer

That is one of the top things I've been hearing in feedback about my game :) If I get around to making improvements to it that will be at the top of my list for things to add! Thanks for playing it!

it is pretty cool. It is hard but thats ok. Please make the music dont cut off. ^^

Developer

Thanks for trying it out! Making the music continue through levels without starting over was one of the enhancements in my list that I didn't get to. Good advice though!

Game is difficult to play. I have hard time playing the game because of the resolution(maximum resolution my monitor supports is 1440x900). Other good games have option to be compactable with variety of resolutions.

Here's link of my game if you're interested:

I'll definitely look into learning more about making my future games work with different resolutions. Thanks for giving it a play!
