This is one of the coolest LD25 games I've played yet! I wish it would have lasted longer (I wouldn't have stopped then). Very good work!

Really fun! Took me a few rounds before I realized what everything did but afterwards it was awesome. I'm curious what the behavior of enemies and teammates are.

The short tutorial at the beginning was a little confusing at first, but after I figured things out this was an enjoyable little game.

I love this one! Reminded me a lot of Gauntlet.

A very fun and aesthetically appealing game!

I agree with the others, confusing at first, but only because there is so much going on that is out of my control. Slowly starting getting it. It's surprisingly fun! :D

nice and sort of gauntlet-y.

The tutorial level felt like an overload of information, but the mechanics were simple and easy to learn. The chaos in the later levels made for some fun fights.

Really fun game. Controls, after a bit, were easy to pick up and the style was great. Would have liked to see a bit more variety in units or bits carrying over so that doing well in a level carried over.

That was fun! It was really confusing at first, but then I got used to it. Also it was really hard do pickup the weapon you wanted from the ground.

Very good game, but aside from being red has nothing to do with being evil.
