Flock Leader by mrnannings

[raw]
made by mrnannings for LD 40 (COMPO)

Guide your flock of blobs to the goal that is located at the end of the map. The more blobs you have to control the harder it will be to guide them all safely because there are obstacles like spikes.

By clicking on the playing field your flock will move in that direction.

With the bottom left button you can change the formation of the flock. The formations are different forms like a long rectangle or a triangle form these are needed to open the doors.

Cool concept. It's difficult to see if the spikes are all the way down, a snappier fall animation might make that more apparent.
The flock doesn't centralise on the click location so it's sometimes difficult to maneuver them precisely or to navigate around the spikes but that's not a massive issue.
It's very clear to me as a player what i need to do and the mechanic is scaleable.

Cool idea. I like that it's really simple to get the hang of. I was a bit confused about the objective and I didn't know if adding to the flock helps at all.

Cool game with an interesting idea. I would recommend is being able to hold down the left click for them to keep moving rather than having to click each time and maybe changing the move camera to flock button to lock the camera on the center of the flock. Other than that it was really good.
