I couldn't complete the tutorial, because for some reason, the minion wouldn't want to wait on the second pillar. It would wait anywhere else, but not on the pillar.
The art of the main character kind of reminded me of the "lemmings" characters (from the lemmings game). I wonder - was that intentional or is it just my weird association?
Actually the art wasn't inspired by Lemmings at all, I've never even heared of it before and just looked it up.
But it is a crazy coincidence that that game looks so similar to ours :D
Check out Lemmings if you don't know it, it's a really cool classic game!
All in all, pretty fun - the buttons were a little bit weird - X and R and Tab? I kept mixing up what I was supposed to do. The other problem I had was that the first time through in the first level, I couldn't see what the button was to recall the minions after I had already told him to wait somewhere else.
I suppose I missed a few instructions... but I figured it out eventually. All in all, fun application of the theme.
One of the most interesting game I have seen in a jam.
Hope you get good ratings!
