That was cute

I think maybe the friends could do with not having collision bounds, once I managed to get so many, it became a bit difficult to get between them and change direction

Really liked the visuals, the generated sprites for the friends worked out nicely

Very cute and nice proof of concept! I couldn't get the rock golem to move though - he said I was free to pass and the sign said he required 0 apples and 0 bananas, but he stayed in place.

Really enjoyed playing! Not sure if its suppose to stop but after the audio loops once it ends. along with the audio, for when it is working properly having a mute music button would be super handy.

Overall super fun! I think i remember you building your friends with that cool sprite gen thing in discord.

Definitely something that could be expanded on!

Thanks for playing!

Yeah, the music is buggy in the web-build. Seem to work fine in the downloadable versions though (at least on windows)

I'm actually thinking of making this into a slightly larger game, and giving it some gameboy COLOR vibes :)

What an absolute cute game. I loved all the little friends. Great job on the pathfinding with them, I can't even imagine trying to get that all sorted out. A few times the little friends got in my way, but not once did I ever feel like I was stuck or couldn't get out. This was a really fun concept and if more was built upon this, I'd totally come back and play more!

Also-- you best BELIEVE I went and interacted with all the little friends I saw even though the sign said it was the end ;---;

Well done!

Thanks for playing! :)

There isn't actually any real path-finding involved :D The little friends just try their best to move towards the player, and then the collision system takes care of the rest!

Hah love collecting these tiny friends!

I always wondered why the Old Man who gives the sword in Zelda doesn't accompany Link.
