Didn't really understand what I was supposed to be doing. Cute little minions, though, and endless waves of them to charge at the enemy. :)

Finished it! Great cutscenes and art!
The controls feel a bit loose and minions get stuck a lot but many somehow still find their way which is quite impressive.

Having cutscenes and voicelines in a game jam entry is always a nice thing to have !
I would put some tutorial text before sending the player into the game though :)

It is unclear what exactly scarecrow or helmet do, and why bomb don't cause damage to enemies, but still it was fun to play! GJ)

This game is actually pretty fun and I enjoyed the time playing it, but the lack of content in those big maps make me feel like I was doing something wrong.
The movements isn't good, but the graphics and sounds are super cool. Missed a soundtrack but that it's ok.

And please, make intros skippable next time lol

Congrats to you all :v:

Cutesy art style, you guys got a lot of work done this jam!
It reminded me a bit of the overlord franchise :)

It felt a bit lackluster gameplay-wise but the overall idea was interesting. I would like to see it worked on after the jam :D I think it could be pretty fun.

Apart from some unclear parts, I did have fun during my playthrough so that is always important!

I loved the art style, and the overall feel of the game is fantastic. I really like the overall presentation of the gameplay. It would be interesting to see if you could implement player combat in such a way that you are more useful as a minion and not just collect and hand out equipment to other bots.

So much work in this game to appreciate. I really liked the art style and sound. I found it a little frustraiting to play but with a bit more work it could b a very good game. Well done

hey are cute devils. The graphics are cute. There are times when bombs don't go off well or go off badly.

Cool idea. The controls were a bit weird, but otherwise it was nice to play.
