You are McCullough, a Gnome Janitor who maintains the grounds of an evil Warlock's lair. The Warlock is off on business so it's up to you to keep out the pesky mob of Hero Do-gooders!
----Instructions---- Click the sign-posts to reroute the heroes path. Rusty sign-posts can only be changed once before they lock into place.
If there are spike walls on the bottom of the screen, click one to select it, move it to where you want (can only go on brown areas) and click it again to place it. Click it once more to delete it.
Press Esc to restart a level. -----------------------
My initial reaction was "Oh, they expect me to install this game... Darn." But after playing it, I definitely enjoyed it. This was a really creative idea, and dialog is very humorous, and the music fits perfectly! Good job!
Good title ;) Nice concept and good evolution of game mechanics though the beginning is slow. The game just misses a "fast forward" button, a lot of time is spent waiting for heroes to reach a wall and turn back. Good game overall !
@blob A fast-forward button was something that got scrapped in a last minute compromise, unfortunately. And the slow beginning was my attempt at familiarizing the player with the different mechanics without too much text. After play-testing it some it turns out the text would have been better ;P Thank you for the feedback!
The music entertained me. When I saw the opening levels it was clear to me how to switch the signs direct the heroes to their doom. Occasionally I was not sure how to click on a sign with a reddish mark.
Unfortunately I'm getting an error in the installer "C:\windows\SysWOW64\msiexe.exe the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion". Windows 8 is the likely culprit. The comments make me really want to try it. Any chance for a non-installer version?
Definitely a clever title for the concept. The reddish arrows were a little frustrating when they were first introduced, but I picked up how they worked quickly. Good job!
Realized the rusty arrows weren't greying out when clicked once; fixed the typo. Hope that is the correct interpretation of "typo", if not I can put the old version back up.
Again, the installer ;) Very nice puzzle game. One level actually gave me some head scratching, nicely done. Maybe you could provide a version which doesn't need to be installed, and provided xna runtime installer link (like I do in my game page.)
The poster and title grabbed my attention. And this is totally worth the download. Very good game, addictive and fun. Sounds fx are fabulous!! :D I'm keeping this!
Well done, I think the game turned out great. The music and dialogue were enjoyable and really helped solidify the game. The game played out smoothly and was very fun. Great job!
Great game. Easy to understand, and you keep on trying to beat the levels. The music was good too. It's just a shame that I didn't get to see the poster in the game.
I'mg glad you added the non-installed version before I saw your entry because I would have missed a great game. Very well done but the bodies on the blocks should be removed with the blocks.
Interesting! The first two level very pretty easy, so I didn't expect too much from the game, but whew, the third level was a LOT harder. And then came the spiky road blocks...
Very cool what you pulled of with such a little amount of gameplay elements! The graphics work well, and the music is cool. The audio effects are funny and fit well.
Loved it! I'm not a huge fan of the art style + animations, but the game had some really cool depth to the mechanics. I feel like I could learn a lot from you!
