Lord of High Fives by Nathaniel Tan

made by Nathaniel Tan for LD 40 (COMPO)

You are the Murder Lord, King of Darkness, Ruler of Thousands of Evil Minions. But all you really want are friends. Maybe if you high five some of your minions they will be friends with you. Be careful though, your own overwhelming power is your greatest obstacle to friendship.

Made four friends, killed six people. Would play again!

Not sure if the audio wasn't working or doesn't exit.

I was a bit confused about what to do before the control explanation page, maybe put controls in the description?

I love the premise, but the game doesn't feel as great to play as I wish it would! I feel like the fact the player character slowly speeds up when moving isn't exactly conducive to a snappy gameplay experience considering it's time limited. My best score is 3 friends which I'm honestly quite proud of considering how difficult it is! ^^

Original and funny concept. The game however feels a bit slow and bleak.

This game I think definitely has the foundation of a very nice little game but as of now, it felt a bit like the game was slightly barebones and a bit empty. Certainly felt like Art was missing in some places and the fire has a slightly confusing hitbox. Again a nice foundation for an interesting concept just missing certain pieces.

I like the concept, it's pretty funny. It was hard to drop bodies in the fire and sometimes to get the folks to high five. The High-Five-O-Meter was pretty difficult to time too, but this could be as intended. Unfortunately I bludgeoned many a minion...

Funny idea!
