In this AWESOME :) adventure game, "You are a checkpoint flag". Your job is to safely guide your minions to some loot, defeat some baddies and win the game! Normally players go to a checkpoint, but it is now your job to lead the adventurers to their destination! GL!

Cool idea! It feels a little too luck-based in my opinion, and even when I made it to the skeletons with all five I ended up losing. I love the concept and the art style however

Developer(+1)

ah yes, the idea was to go left first and get your guys upgraded with sword. :) Thanks for playing though!!

I really liked the aesthetic of this.  The camera was a little tough, sometimes I lost sight of my little guys that made them get smooshed by rocks and I would feel bad.  Cool game though!

Developer(+1)

for someone that said "I kinda like that" when I said your game made me angry, you probably enjoyed squashing those little guys! 

Submitted

I have no idea what you are talking about :) :) :)

It was interesting! I liked the role reversal of how flags are usually the destination in games but here, you use it to reach your real destination. I felt the number of minions were maybe too low and if I could have a way to beat the skeletons, then it would have been great!

Developer

You can! Just need to get your guys some sword by getting the chest on the left! :) Ty for trying the game though!

I like the interpretation of the theme - it was novel and felt like one of those ideas that is extremely obvious in hindsight. The graphics were pleasant, and the music fitted with the tone of the game. 

The game mechanic reminds me of Pikmin, where minions follow you around and form the bulk of your ability to make progress. I think it would have helped if you could see the boundary around the flagpole where the minions would start to follow you, and maybe even being able to shrink and expand this boundary might help with improving minion movement response times (Looking at the boulder section in particular).

I like the aspect of being able to explore to power up your minions, I was trying to go into the forest and rivers incase there was another power-up, like a shield for defence, or even the ability to act as a proper checkpoint and restart from that point - if there is another powerup, then I haven't found it yet. 

I did managed to get 1 minion to the end, though I got very lucky with the boulder section.

Overall, an interesting and fun concept with a very novel take on a well known gaming mechanic.

Developer

Wow, sounded like you went really in depth in exploring the game! That's awesome, thanks. Sorry there were no hidden surprises! Thanks again and for the sweet review! :)

Cool concept! I wish the camera was a bit further away from the flag so you had a better overview. Also, more minions would have been nice. I came through with 4 but still died at the skeletons. Also, i tried going left instead of right after the bridge but just got stuck. Maybe some sort of abilities would have spiced it up a bit?
Definitely nice to see some 3D games in this jam! i hope you learned a lot!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the review! Yeah, I tried doing the camera farther away and it was easy to see the level from above. I should have probably done top down or something, but I wanted people to see the pretty moon haha :P

Submitted

Really cool idea ! I loved that

Developer

Thanks!

I enjoyed the minions following the flag. It was definitely laggy though. I got stuck at the bridge and wasn't sure what to do. Overall, I liked the concept. (I got one minion to survive the rocks lol). Great job! 

Developer

Ah yes, the bridge, yeah i remember. If you do a hard left there they get stuck on the ground. Meant to fix that and forgot, sorry! Thanks for the review. :)

Submitted

Ah, no problem! Thanks. 

Submitted

Good graphics. Interesting idea with the minions. But long I could not play, very laggy game. The problem is not in the optimization of the game, but in my old pc :) Good job!

Developer

Sorry it was laggy for you! Curious what your specs are.

Submitted

Interesting concept!
Stupid stone killed one of my minions twice

Developer(+1)

Yeah, didn't have too much time to test out the difficulty, as a dev I had an easier time playing cuz i knew exactly what to do! haha. This is why every game needs testers! :) Thanks for the review.

Submitted

Great to see some 3d good-looking game in a game jam !! The game has a soothing mood which makes it really appreciatable to play, however it is very hard to look at your minions and the environment at the same time because of the camera angle. I did not really understand how to fight the skeletons but I still won ;)

Developer

Hey, thanks for the kind review! :)

Submitted

Graphics are cool. Liked the RPG aspect. The chest did disappoint though :)

Developer

Oh no! Yeah i know, an opportunity missed :( I won't let it happen again!

Submitted

Music should loop, if the camera movement was better I'd try again to have more minions, its an okay game overall

Developer

Yeah, I wish I had more time I'd have made it better. Glad you enjoyed it overall! :)

Submitted

looks nice. it is difficult to keep your minions alive, the controls are very inconvenient. even looking around is uncomfortable. but not too bad.

Developer

Yes I agree, the controls are not very good. Will do better next time! thx for the review.

Those poor guys should not have followed me 馃槄

Developer

Idk, your profile image looks like you know where to step!

Submitted

Very unique gameplay experience, I enjoyed it! I am not very good at being a flag, lol!

Developer(+1)

That's ok! We're not all meant to be flags. Thanks for the review though! :)

Submitted

Looks very good.

Developer

You look very good!
