Killer Newgrounds aesthetic! Gameplay was satisfying and easy to grasp once I got the hang of it. Feels like a roguelike waiting to happen... let me collect more varieties of MEN!

Really fun, really polished, very silly. Balancing was also really good, like thinking about when to burp attack and when to gather to make sure you have enough circle reach felt really nicely done.

Really neat spatial fighting game. The stamina mechanic was interesting to balance with. Consistent style and quality all around, which is awesome!

Really awesome idea! The mechanic is perfectly complemented by the excellently crafted sound effects for the signals. It's a shame there's no music, but that's a minor detail. 10/10!

This made me laugh when I first played it, nice job on the sounds haha! I'm not very good at it at all, but it was fun. Well done!

Very well balanced

Really awesome. I really liked how there is both room for error but also there is a timer that forces you to be more careful. Also because moving and shooting commands consume the same resource you gotta make decisions on whether or not you should move or shoot. And of course the sounds xD

Loved the idea :laughing: Visuals and presentation were great. Audio was super fun too. Overall it was hilarious!
Gameplay was a bit unpolished though. Men were too suicidal and wouldn't follow well enough, so the follow mechanic seemed very unreliable, meaning I found that the best strategy is to just ignore boss attacks and spam boogers as fast as you can. I think that can certainly be improved and it would make for a super fun game!

@nyxkn Thanks for playing! And great feedback!

What about the follow mechanic did you feel was unreliable? Did some people in the follow-area stop following you, or was it something else?

The sound design is just too good, it's very funny. I lost a lot of men, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make.

HAYAYAYAYAY really fun game with a very simple yet effective concept and just the right amount of challenge. The art reminds me of early Edmund McMillen stuff, and as for the tone of the game, I gotta admit i'm a sucker for this sense of humor and aesthetic so I love it. Super worth playing!

I have to admit, reading the first two lines of the description on your itch-page DID NOT prepare me for what was about to come - "BOOGERS" on line 3 took me completely off guard :D

Insanely fun! And very nice "Flash era of online games" style :sunglasses:

It was a blast to play, and the balancing worked perfectly for me! Thank you! :heart:

Looooved the art as well, big McMillen vibes

A very good idea and a solid execution!
It would be great to have an option for fullscreen or a downloadable .exe, since my browser settings made the experience a bit uncomfortable.

I loved the game and its execution! Its artstyle was great, One gripe I have is the range to pull the men sometimes depletes to fast and they escape your field. Other than that Good Job :)
