Too bad you didn't have time to polish it with audio and a goal, like charm everyone in the floor.

Instead of fighting, the player must travel through the dungeon armed only with the POWER OF LOVE!\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nup, down, left, right - Move\r\nspacebar - Charm NPCs\r\n\r\nWe didn't quite get to where we wanted with this one. The dungeon works, pathfinding mostly works, and the core mechanic (charming your enemies) is there, but we had loftier goals! Namely the player would have an \"influence\" counter and would only be able to charm low-level enemies until their influence counter got larger. Eventually you'd be able to charm the entire dungeon, effectively <em>growing<\/em> your posse (see, it fits the theme!) to an incredible size.\r\n\r\nOh but for more time and\/or Mondays off work. Still, pretty happy with where we got this time. Resources are credited on the game page.\r\n\r\nFAQ\r\n\r\n I failed to see the theme\r\n It's pretty loose but the original idea was that your influence would grow as the number of creatures under your influence grew.\r\n\r\n Why are the characters blurry?\r\n It's a canvas issue with rendering objects using floating point values rather than integers. Just one more thing we didn't get to fix due to time constraints.\r\n\r\n I guess there is no end?\r\nWell, I like to charm the whole dungeon and then try to run them into the lava (which won't actually work), but yeah, we missed the opportunity to finish the planned big boss endgame.\r\n\r\nI was able to walk through diagonal walls\r\nGoblin magic!\r\n\r\nToo easy (holding space)\r\nGame balance was another casualty of our shortened timeline.\r\n\r\nI liked your art\r\nThe artwork came from Lucid Design.
