I am a Black and White fun so this catches my attention. This game has the mood, there is a feel here of old good Molyneux games.
I had a lot of trouble clicking on the unfaithful followers, and some time i think i couldn't launch my spell..
Good work about the overall mood for it, i like the way corpses roll on the ground xD
But its just too difficult to keep 5 people on land, perhaps change it to something like 20 as I cant get more then 4 followers before I lose!
Other then the fact some people may take offence I think its a great and funny game!
Just as a quick helpful guide, you can convert followers two ways. The first is the conversion spell which is the spell on the bottom left that looks like a goblet. The other is to kill followers near other followers, which is difficult because the area is a bit too low but if you poke people as soon as they land off the zeppelin then you'll convert a few nearby people.
Also, when people turn blue, they are converted and will start praying to you (although they turn blue when they die too as they are converted in death).
Graphics and sound are nice, but it would be nice that if you choose a power your cursor changed, and would keep that power until you choose another one.
Good job!
Loved the powers, the cute graphics and the sound. The UI could have used a bit more work as it was tough to have feedback to know who you were clicking on.
Great job!
An on-hover display of what a power does would be useful, and if you could use the power and not have to select it again. Also, make so it's not so hard to click on the people.
Other than that, I liked the audio/visual aspects, and the design is cool; mostly just being held up by the annoyances I mentioned
Please don't take these critics bad, 4 in 5 of my own LD games, I make these same mistakes. Lessons to be learned. Then again, this game have great potential and I hope to see a better polished full featured version.
Interesting concept. Well done ++
