I like the way they regroup :)
You should somehow treat the strategy of "run and don't fight" as it is the easiest way to win.

The art is pretty cool, despite what you said ! Love the mood, and the "unite" of the group is pretty awesome, though. I killed one guy, just for fun, but as ViliX said, the run and don't fight seems to be the right strategy.
+1 for the "non-violent" message of the game :)

Cheers !

I like it. I almost made it through fighting, but evasion / running away is the way to go. I like the graphics, especially on the start screen. The font is a bit hard to read though.

I like graphic things and control a group by this way is a good idea!

Cute game, art fits what's going on well, and the game fits the theme nicely.

A neat concept and I really like the artstyle! I found it a bit hard to consistently damage the enemies, and when one of the dudes got stuck in a corner and once the others died, the camera didn't return to the alive one. Still, very nice!

Kind of just ran through to the end. Pressed space a bit but the enemies never died. It wasn't very difficult but it was interesting anyway. The guys were kind of funny to watch wander around and squish up together.

i think the game bugged on my after the level 3. I just suddenly got a message from the king.

I like the game very much, but i do not understand how it is connected with the theme.
the entry text is unreadable, don't use white strokes on black background an black fonts.

After reading the prologue, I chose to avoid the enemy and I delivered the message with 9 remaining bonhommes. I didn't fight, and I like I was discouraged to fight since the beggining. Nice entry.
