The Boomies by Pantoufle

[raw]
made by Pantoufle for LD33 (JAM)
The Boomies are adorable creatures living in a beautiful world.
They just wander around, doing nice and fun things.
You can watch over them and enjoy their presence peacefully.

Unless, of course, you're a psycho killer with other ideas in mind...

I laughed out loud ! Very nice sight of the theme. In addition you made translation, off voice is great!

Good job with the main theme. It is sad how everything ended.

Thank you all for your comments! It means a lot to me.
I'm quite happy with the result.

I was already curious about multi-agent systems and I wanted to test it. I got the idea for the Boomies not so long after learning what the theme was.

I wrote the off voice the last day, but I thought about it early during the dev. I think it adds a lot to the game.
I wasn't sure I would have time to translate everything but I did it to allow my friends and family to play. :-)

There's something strangely satisfying about this game... Maybe it's destroying the penguins by just clicking on them?

Teeheehee, very cute :D Good use of music and happy-looking characters to contrast the impending genocide. And those are some nice looking mountains!
The camera moves a bit slow, though.

Cool game and I love how cute everything is (and that they even are harvesting material)! I wasn't able to move upwards, likely as of bad screen resolution, an idea is to add keyboard input to move as well. Nice graphics and funny comments! Sweet game!

Hello, thanks for playing Moon Witch!

I really liked sitting back and watching the boomies go about their business. Reminded me of watching ants. I didn't really want to click on anything but did it after the boomies built up their island quite a bit, I did not like harming the boomies. I would love to be able to help the boomies in some way. Very cool game.

Certes, il n'y a pas vraiment de gameplay, mais je me suis vraiment marré avec les dialogues! L'interprétation du thème est amusante dans le sens où on ne nous demande pas de se comporter comme un monstre mais qu'on le fait de notre propre chef et que donc c'est nous le monstre !

Really funny idea. I didn't seem to be able to scroll the screen up, though.
