Daddy, Don't Explode Me by FiSilva
Inspired by Lemmings, Minions and Dumb Ways to Day
You're an evil lord who must control their minions on a mission that will not end well for some.
You can turn the minions into bomb, fire and ice.
Bomb can blow up some stuff (boulders), fire can burn other stuff (ice and grass), and ice just creates an obstacle.
Mouse control
I made a version where you can control the camera with the keyboard as well as mouse, but if you rate, rate the other one, the Windows Compo.

That level where you have to pile up your own bodies to get down made me laugh.
Rock solid game.
I felt so bad for the little fellas '^^
Clever puzzles and adorable graphics.
Saddest ending ever :(
Wish it had wasd control for the camera since the screen edge detection can be finicky.

Anyways, a fast forward button and some hotkeys would have been nice. The camera movement was tedious (why can't I just use my arrow keys?) and some levels were really confusing (like the first one with spikes). Also, the music sounds like it's randomly generated (not nice) and is really repetitive.
Also, you can finish level three without clicking at all ; )
Really nice game !
Great work !
As it's been said before by others, the window "edge" detection for the camera doesn't work very well, so having a keyboard-controlled alternative (post-compo) was definitely a good move.
My only complaint would be that the first levels does not scale in difficulty very well. Level 2 and 3 are definitely "easier" than lv.1 mainly because they require less time-critical actions and there's more space between the places where you are required to act. Later levels had a steady increase in complexity and challenge that felt good. Timing the "fire" to melt ice platforms in last levels was really tricky, but workable.
Having said that, it's a REALLY well polished game, with a lot of interesting mechanics and interactions.
This is a truly wonderful game overall. 5/5. Congratulations.
Great pixel art, cute sounds and very well made. Had lots of fun trying this.
Excellent!
