Best I've played so far. I like the micro-managing aspect of all the followers. It's really fun. And then trying to protect and move them, and even use them to solve puzzles. It's great. Would love to see this as a bigger game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Some things to consider should you wish to continue working on the game:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>1. Show last bosses health\r<br\/>2. Add a restart level into the game\r<br\/>3. Add upgrades for the player and maybe different kinds of followers\r<br\/>4. Consistent art style\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, a bug that happened to me was I got almost all of the followers in the game and my demon grew too big for the room. I couldn't jump or get to the final boss on that playthrough.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great work guys!"},{"author_name":"AM_Games","author_uid":"66224","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 10:54am","epoch":1450176540,"text":"Thanks for the awesome feedback guys. Sorry about those annoying bugs, hopefully you still have the patience to play the final boss fight after bugs :P"},{"author_name":"jackyjjc","author_uid":"21428","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 12:12pm","epoch":1450181220,"text":"I saw that coming all along :P But yea i finished the game (well done on making it fun so that I played it through). There is an obvious strategy which is leaving all your followers at the beginning until you kill everything but then the last level kind of make it harder to do that I guess. It was a very funny game and the mechanics is solid. With more polish on the graphics it will be great :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I died on the last boss, I don't know how do you not die."},{"author_name":"muffty","author_uid":"59742","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 12:16pm","epoch":1450181460,"text":"+1 for 'win game instantly' and 'cheat' button :D"},{"author_name":"Nega Drive","author_uid":"26098","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 3:13pm","epoch":1450192080,"text":"Neat and interesting concept, mechanics are pretty solid.

Good work."},{"author_name":"AM_Games","author_uid":"66224","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 7:58pm","epoch":1450209180,"text":"Thanks! We're aware of the whole &quot;leave your followers behind&quot; strategy and couldn't come up with a quick and easy solution to remedy it. It was partially fixed by forcing you to let them go through first. As for the boss fight, if you save your shield for when the boss starts using his lazer barrage, you can just stand still and fire at his turrets. Either way, we hope you enjoyed it and any criticism is welcome!"},{"author_name":"Blake_Lead","author_uid":"60780","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 8:21pm","epoch":1450210560,"text":"Great work!

I've read your description and I don't mind that you've used asset packs and such, but maybe you should try to make them feel a bit more connected. Right now, I find it's a bit distracting from the gameplay itself (which is great, by the way!)"},{"author_name":"pjimmy","author_uid":"40339","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 2:46pm","epoch":1450276860,"text":"Nice, interesting concept.

Also, bullets shouldn't go through a non vulnerable spot of an enemy - they should bounce off or have some other visual clue that damage is not being done."}],"images":["ld34\/66224-239da3695d1c2df6261f7f7d4ce82eab.jpg","ld34\/66224-b376f098fcf4c15c481c97183f0d0110.jpg","ld34\/66224-4003865a4182c00b7268c8890c8fdaf7.jpg","ld34\/66224-49c074a2d393119288398b24d79e37ce.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/e084x5nijar5oh5\/AABr8KpkW6ItAfhU0tA-bJm9a?dl=0","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/ab0kpamib8yyajs\/AACGxrzpIez-f-1C2kkjvIYla?dl=0","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/jqe3wev3taoobpt\/AAB0wihOVAFymwm2vC0ONdaxa?dl=0","text":"Linux"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"6619","g_author":"66224","g_event":"LD34","g_eventkey":"31","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"6565","g_title":"A Growing Threat","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"398","g_commentcount":"16","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/66224-shot0-1450135312.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/66224-shot1-1450135312.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/66224-shot2-1450135312.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/511439\/66224-shot3-1450135312.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"A Growing Threat\r\n----------------\r\n\r\nWhat's better than sacrificing yourself for the good of humanity?\r\nSacrificing others, of course!\r\n\r\nThe world has been overrun by a growing alien threat and humanity's last hope is to seek out the aid of demons.
