Gameplay wise, it was not super clear how the cooldown/recharge for the workers is supposed to work. They seem to hang around the machine for a while after arriving, then return to an empty location, and then they're available again. Might be clearer if there was a "recharge station" that they returned to, and perhaps a bar/indicator for each worker which filled up until they're ready to deploy again.
I had never enjoyed management games before this, loved the graphics a bunch as well!
The little lights while they move / teleport is genius.
This is great. It's a beautifully designed level, and the henchlings are adorable. I like the simplicity. The system is easy to understand, and get a hang of. There's definitely scope to build onto this foundation, with levels becoming more complex and the player having to make more decisions about where henchlings go.
Well done!
I think my only bit of feedback would be to have had some sort of event or state change that forces the player to change up their strategy.
Awesome job :D
Fun little stressing game lol
