Unfortunately after a dozen or so tries, I had to bow out of the last level.  I just couldn't get there in time.  I really like the mechanics, even if sacrificed followers hovering in midair doesn't make sense. I would have liked if the level didn't end until all the followers caught up with you.  It's a small detail, but I think it would been a nice effect.  Also, some momentum in the controls would be nice.  Since most platformers have that feature, it's ingrained in my muscle memory.  It was tough to learn the proper jump timings because of that.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"gamesplusjames","author_uid":"1009836","time":"2018-12-03T22:54:57Z","epoch":1543877697,"modified":1543877697,"text":"@jharler thanks for playing!

The take on the theme is pretty funny as are the voice bits. Props for the full menu, level select and most of all, grace jumps.  \n\nThe movement could use a bit of easing, though I didn't have that much trouble with the controls, except for the last lvl, which took a few tries. Also the lava pit on the last level seems to be missing a collider. But it's quite funny when all the followers jump after the player into the void.  \nThe only other minor nitpick would be the follower collisions - placing\/impaling 2 followers but falling off made it almost impossible to get back up using the same 2 followers as the player can't jump thru the \nfollowers even when it seems the gap is wide enough.  \n\nBTW. I sacrifised 73 followers (unless that is reset when using the lvl select, which I accidentally entered a few times when trying to restart a level).","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"elysiagriffin","author_uid":"1047013","time":"2018-12-18T19:32:00Z","epoch":1545161520,"modified":1545161520,"text":"Hey gamesplusjames!
