This is a really nice puzzler, though it's a bit tough to get on board (I still don't get the "Send to kill" and "Swear..." buttons), and killing boss does not seem to work as a winning strategy (http:\/\/prntscr.com\/8ak8hv).\r\rI still liked it, it has a nice concept and the lust-scare-control parts are very well done."},{"author_name":"KaiseanGames","author_uid":"44370","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 11:50am","epoch":1440935100,"text":"I don't like the domain of demons so the theme is a dislike for me.

I think the game needs a serious rewriting to improve kill\/swear system: arrows on links, more intuitive controls, etc. \rHowever, I fixed the win condition, the death of the boss now works.\r\r@KaiseanGames: Maybe, yes. I'm not really good at writing stories ^^"},{"author_name":"mincrmatt12","author_uid":"43876","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 1:22pm","epoch":1440940620,"text":"Great concept, meh execution, but I had fun with it. There is a bit of a learning curve, and after I got it, it made sense, but there were only 4 levels! I had fun with it, but only 4 levels that were pretty short made me sad... hopefully you will make more levels after ld, as this looks pretty good"},{"author_name":"flokitall","author_uid":"57210","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 1:23pm","epoch":1440940680,"text":"Interesting concept that's definitely hard to execute well. Well done!\r\rThe game's mechanics were pretty tough to grasp initially, probably because I didn't really understand the goal of the game ("I killed or possessed everyone, how come I didn't win the level?"). The learning process would have been much smoother, for me personally at least, if I were told at the very beginning that my goal is to possess the boss, not kill him.\r\rOnce I understood the goals and mechanics, the game was pretty fun. I really enjoyed the approach you needed take to solve the last level, nice puzzle design on that one :)\r\rI'm curios why you chose to add the "Follow" mechanic. The game would probably have been easier to understand without it, since it's not immediately evident that you can only affect the neighbors of the selected minion, and as far as I understood things, your available actions (or their chances of success) don't depend on the minion you currently have selected.\r\rNice concept, nice puzzles and the game fits the theme well. Good job!"},{"author_name":"jstclair13","author_uid":"57514","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 3:52pm","epoch":1440949620,"text":"Picked it up quickly, completed fast.

Had to restart it a few times to get what to do (speaking of restart, a button maybe?). The only thing I didn't get is "send to kill". Why do I need to level up fear and lust when I can simply kill the boss as soon as I get near it? But there's certainly a nice puzzler somewhere around if you develop it further."},{"author_name":"A Flat Miner Studios","author_uid":"42150","time":"Sep 1, 2015 @ 4:01pm","epoch":1441122960,"text":"Nice idea, but, as mentioned above, it's very confusing at first.

A bit clunky at times and the Send to Kill mechanic seems overpowered, but still a very neat concept that could turn into a fun little puzzle game if developed on."},{"author_name":"Dining Philosopher","author_uid":"18490","time":"Sep 1, 2015 @ 4:01pm","epoch":1441122960,"text":"Smooth interface! And some nice tools you used.\rI have two suggestions: firstly, the graphics should reflect the story of the game. Perhaps next time you could team up with a graphics artist?\rSecondly, the gameplay is not very challenging. I did not really understand the rules but easily beat the game by succubussing almost everyone. The win\/lose condition should be clearer, and there should be more of a challenging to it."},{"author_name":"grynca","author_uid":"51729","time":"Sep 1, 2015 @ 4:03pm","epoch":1441123080,"text":"a little confusing, texts prevent from clicking on circles."}],"images":["ld33\/50950-deb5f6a46b8274853870025ee21f6fec.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/storage.fanaen.fr\/GameJams\/2015.08.LudumDare33\/Tutorial\/Tutorial.md.html","text":"How-to"},{"url":"http:\/\/labo.fanaen.fr\/gamejam\/ludumdare\/33\/mindvasion\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Fanaen\/Mindvasion\/","text":"Source"},{"url":"http:\/\/fanaen.fr\/en\/home","text":"Author website"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"9692","g_author":"50950","g_event":"LD33","g_eventkey":"29","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"9726","g_title":"Mindvasion","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"383","g_commentcount":"21","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/479518\/50950-shot0-1440377867.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You control a little nasty ghost named Mindy.\r\n\r\nShe want to rule the world with her ability to mind-control people using hallucinations: Succubus (using lust feeling) and Daemon (using fear feeling).\r\n\r\nOnce a people under her control, some actions are available, like Kill another people and change allegiances.\r\n\r\nYou have to select circles (people) in order to act on it.\r\n\r\n--\r\n\r\nThis is my second Ludum Dare, first compo and my very first Puzzle game.\r\n\r\nLibraries: D3.js, Noty, animate.css, Howler.js, modernizer, Bootstrap-sass\r\nTools: WebStorm with Yeoman, Bower, Grunt,\r\nAudio: LMMS, Audacity and http:\/\/www.fakemusicgenerator.com\/\r\n","title":"Mindvasion"}
