Short fun little game! It kinda reminds me a bit of Pikmin haha you could expand the concept quite a bit and add all sorts of fun mechanics! Good work!
nice idea
Funky music! I laughed when my allies would leave XD
Finally, I was able to keep two of my friends. Nice!
Nice idea for the game. Like the idea of trading teammates for power. At first I was confused though since the friends were leaving although I don't think I did anything.
Thanks for playing!
The friends leave when they take too much damage OR when the player takes too much damage. I understand this is not explained in the game and thus can be confusing. I also feel like having a wall of text to explain every detail kind of spoils the experience, but I'll try and find a middle ground for my future games!
Cute game! I didn't really understood what giving my friends did, but I did it anyway xD. The game was a bit easy, but maybe that's with the power of selling friends =p.
Nice little entry overall =)
Thanks for playing, appreciate the feedback!
I actually tuned the game to be a bit on the easier side on purpose; since we didn't have a ton of time to test and finetune, we just decided to make it a little easier and make sure to avoid too much frustration.
Sacrificing friends increases your damage and your rate of fire; since I decided to go without a UI for it, I tried to make the upgrades quite powerful, but still I realize that, with so few enemies, it can be a bit hard to notice the change.
What a nice playtime!
The monster could be a bit harder to fight, I think but still I had fun and I regret gaining power but my friends had to pay.... Jop I´m evil, that´s no good XD
Nah man, some people just drag you down, nothing wrong with getting rid of soooome of them :D
I tried my best to balance the enemies and make them challenging, but we didn't want to make the game TOO difficult; we also wanted to make the upgrades feel impactful: without any UI or numbers to show the player, I figured I'd go with big numbers. Definitely could have used more time for balance.
Ok you´re right XD
But anyway don´t worry, it´s a really cool game!
The power of having friends! Well done!
Clever idea of using friends as lifes, some great textures too!
The idea of using your pals as your life is clever, though the game is short and I would have loved a bit more of content.
Thank you for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
Definitely would have liked to make the level a bit longer, and probably add some kind of boss fight. Unfortunately, we ran out of time!
You Did An Amazing Job With This Game ;P
Thank you very much!
Love it! But my pals all died...
Fun game.
My "pals" ran away without me even sacrificing them😂
I was planning on not doing it. Then they ran away and left me😂😂
cool concept for the theme.
Good job
Yes, if you or your friends take too much damage, they won't stick around for long.
Thanks for the feedback! :)
Great work Rate mine too.
Nice Check and Rate Mine Too
