Super Ploogy Rescue by blobo

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

Everything is coming to a dramatic end for the species know as the "Ploogies", or is it? You might be the guy to step in and do something! Who knows. The ploogies only have 50 of their species left, and are far away from home. Guide them through thick and thin to eternal happiness.

Controls:

WASD - Moving left and right

Spacebar - Jumping

Left Mouse Button - Shoot laser

Tip:

Wait until as many Ploogies as possible have reached the safety box before going to the next level. Otherwise you'll leave lots of Ploogies behind.

This is amazing, I can't believe more people haven't played this yet! The level design is fantastic — it reminds me a bit of Lemmings. The ploogies are very cute... I need to get myself a pet one :P This is easily the funniest game I've played on here so far, you have an ace sense of humour :)

Cool concept well executed. The character controller felt a bit swooopy (your just sliding around), but that didnt hinder the fun too much. Great level ending animation and +1 for music!

Nice all-round game - I found it quite enjoyable and loved the humor also. One thing that did trip me up frequently was that the mouse wasn't locked to the window, so I kept clicking outside accidentally and had to switch back to the game.

Nice! The control of your character was kinda slippery and floaty, but it didn't really matter since you couldn't be harmed.

Would've been nice to have like a counter of how many Ploogies entered the safety box, since sometimes they can jump really far back for no reason and you'll miss a couple when you thought you had 'em all. And sometimes one will jump really far back into an obstacle you just got past, but you have a lot of leeway in regards to lost Ploogies so it doesn't matter that much.

I love the plot, the gameplay, the cuteness. Was able to save only 10 at my first try.

You'd be very surprised but your game and [our JAM entry](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/xenonanny) have a lot in common with each other.

Here is my second try :smile:

Suggestion: Rate more games! If you rate other people's games, you get noticed more, get better reviews, and help out people who need it! Now, the game is great! Fun gameplay, great art, nice audio, a good idea, it's just great all around! Good Entry!

Fun game. Some levels took a couple of times to retry, but I was able to herd 18 on my first playthrough anf 32 on my second... So in total I "saved" all 50 ploggies...
