Help Morty the evil wizard wreak havoc on the village folk. Turn them into minions and use them to take out heroes sent to stop you.

Instructions: - Avoid HEROES (BLUE GUYS), one touch and you're dead - Pick up ORBS - Shoot ORBS at CIVILIANS to convert them to MINIONS - Order MINIONS to destroy the HEROES - ORBS will not work against HEROES
Controls: - WASD or ARROWS to move Villian - Shoot ORBS with SPACE, AIM WITH MOUSE - Left click on minion or drag a box to select minions - Right click to issue orders for selected minions
Team members: Dave Tran - Art Tamas Szathmary - Programming and some art
EDIT: I fixed a bug where the difficulty was not being reset upon restarting. Re-uploaded the zip file.
The sound effect were really lacking. The direction of an orb when you shoot it is unpredictable and heroes (blue guys) have too broad reach. I really like the graphics, the background feels really nice, but otherwise I didn't enjoy this game much
Thanks a lot for the feedback guys! I was tired and forgot to write that you aim the orbs with the mouse, and shoot with space. Sorry, kind of important I know, I've added that info now. And yes I agree, there are a lot of areas lacking due to running out of time. :\
You have a great sense of color. One thing that feels unfair is that the heroes can kill minions even after they're dead while minions instantly disappear; but other than that it's a cool little minigame. My highscore is 20/21
nice game...i had problems with shooting though - even when orb hit blue guys they didnt die too many blue guys comparing to orbs i think...minions even less.
The execution is simple, but the conceptual foundation is actually fairly promising. I'd be interested in seeing this kind of game taken a step further.
The gameplay and control scheme feels very smooth. It's no trouble to have your character running around collecting orbs WHILE you're managing your minions, and I really like that.
Pretty cool, and a nice idea. Very nice graphical style :) I noticed a couple of bugs: - It seems you can still shoot after restarting if you previously had an orb, even though it says you don't have any - Hero guys still kill you when they're in the process of dying Also the controls are very difficult when using a mouse left-handed - arrow keys + space is awkward - but it's an uncommon case, so no big worry :)
Thanks for the bug reports Scherble! As for the controls I can see that being awkward for sure. I'm surprised Dave (the artist) didn't complain about that since he's a lefty. If we do go back and work on this someday, then I'd like to make the controls customizable.

The gameplay is kind of original too. I felt it like, a multi-tasking pacman.
The blue guys pwned me very easily, i couldn't collect orbs quickly enough : (
too many blue guys comparing to orbs i think...minions even less.
Top marks!

(Once I read the instructions) I got a score of: x11 villagers, x14 blue men.
Nice game! Would have liked some background music and a background story. What am I and the blue guys supposed to be?
