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!

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.

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!

Thank you very much!

Yes, if you or your friends take too much damage, they won't stick around for long. 

Thanks for the feedback! :)
