I like that a lot. It was definitely a fresh take on a platform\/puzzler.

They seemed to immediately bounce back at me, even though I would expect them to bounce onward (like a billiards ball).\n\nBy the way, it was possible to get the followers stuck by jumping and then throwing them close to the ceiling haha.\n![asdfadsf.png](\/\/\/raw\/319\/53\/z\/68d2b.png)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld56\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1MXnyyyelP-fMZSHQ2-iysMwesmtw3c4c\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Source Code Godot 4"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/11RuamBK9Lqffb-KdKdGNG-xCMhrnuklB\/view?usp=sharing","text":"Windows - Original Submission"},{"url":"https:\/\/mauriciprats.github.io\/Games\/TribalTribulations\/TribalTribulations.html","text":"Web - Fixed bugs and added checkpoints"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"95189","g_author":"1006217","g_event":"LD56","g_eventkey":"115","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"444040","g_title":"Tribal Tribulations","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"212","g_commentcount":"19","g_site2_node_id":"397648","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"397648","n_urlkey":"444040","n_parent":"395186","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/56\/tribal-tribulations","n_slug":"tribal-tribulations","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"6217","n_created":"1727610590","n_modified":"1778202255","n_version":"1254481","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD56","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":6,"author":6217,"body":"## Description:\n\n\\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/\\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/ \\o\/\n\nArise oh great Leader!
