The graphics are charming and really well made, thought the game seemed very basic without any sound or music. The controls were smooth as well.

The graphics, the concept, the gameplay itself - just very very good. Why no music, though? Or at least some sound effects? In any case, this was probably the most fun LD27 entry I played so far.

It makes for different strategies, and managing everyone. But the speed is a bit too high. I often spent time crashing into walls.\r<br\/>But overall, its a great concept! You should definitely take this further. If there was sounds in this, I bet it would have been fantastic.
