Death by Masses by ThePelranthean

made by ThePelranthean for LD 44 (COMPO)

Spawn a roving band of allied robots to kill all your enemies.

The theme was unfortunately lost in implementation... as was everything unique about this game.

But while it isn't a very remarkable one, it is a game. You can win and you can lose. You can even have fun leading mobs of minions to victory (up to 6 of them... so many! :smile:).

So far, my best time is 40 seconds (though there have been balance changes since then).

Would love to play it again with better combat mechanics. Good job

Yeooow those red robots are vicious! There's a sort of neat strategy of kiting the enemies and then falling back to let your minions deal with them.

There's definitely more work that needs to be done (I know very well the feeling of getting stuck on one particular thing for too long and then not having enough time for the rest) but there's a fun game underneath that can be surfaced with more time.

I feel like it would've been pretty decent if it had more time alotted to it but sadly deadlines are deadlines. I'd love to give it a shot if it were a bit more polished. Maybe having some audio, better mechanics and more theme accuracy would make this much better. Still, I appreciate the effort and I'd love to see more coming from you :)

Good job finishing your game, it's a bit clunky and confusing to play so try to iron out the basic game feel for your next entries
