Mass Move Minion Magic by obittner

[raw]
made by obittner for Ludum Dare 55 (JAM)

cover.png In Mass Move Minion Magic you summon minions and chase them through puzzles in your chambers. The catch? You controll all minions at the same time.

Puzzle your way through 17 levels with varying difficulty. You will stand on buttons, switch switches and run face first into walls.

There are three types of minions which you can summon: - The Homunculus (we call him Garry) is an all rounder and always required to finish the level - The Zombie is a real dumbass, very slow on top aswell - The Fae is an elegant creature who can glide above most dangers.

This was great! It's hard to do a puzzle game right, and I think you did! Hope you had fun in making this. (Loved the sound effects, too ;))

Reminds me a lot of my entry to LD52, actually, just more developed than mine! Some great puzzle designs here too, good work!

The style was well done, and I was jamming to the music the whole time. The SFX were great as well. Difficulty ramped up for me pretty quickly after a while. I think I definitely cheesed some puzzles, but maybe that's the point! Nice game!

A cute little puzzle game with a neat idea. I however often felt that you just summon everything and then see how you can move them the best. Pretty neat all in all though! Well done!

I gave up at this level. So far, it's the most creative game I've played in this jam. Good job!![obraz_2024-04-16_172326823.png](///raw/047/e2/z/63b38.png)

Great game! There are some very difficult puzzles and I really enjoyed it. You seem to have made it using LÖVE 11.5. If this was your first time using the engine then great job, it was amazing! I checked and it seems LÖVE 11.5 does have the ability to run on HTML5 so you could consider adding a web build. Other than that I don't have much advice, great job!

@dymino Thank you for your feedback, glad you enjoyed it. It was indeed our first project with LÖVE and we really like it. We actually have a running web version. But it feels kinda laggy and instable in comparison to the native version, therefor we decided not to link it here. If you want to take a peek, you can find it linked and hosted in our GitHub repository.

Lovely game! The sprites, sdx, and music were all adorable, and leanded really nicely to lightening the game. Som really innovative mechanic design on display - I especially liked the killing/resummoning mechanic being a part of solving puzzles, rather than just failing/restarting. Ingenious! Thank you!

You've succeeded in balancing out the difficulty of this style of game, while at the same time keeping it fun.

It lets us gradually get used to it, so we can really think about how to do it.

The music doesn't loop quite right, like there's a break just before it starts again.

Good pixel art and sound, well done!
