It's turn based game, where your goal is to save your 'First' (aka king) with your 'Seconds' (aka servants). You have exactly 10 seconds to give orders to your 'Seconds' (servants) -- king can't be moved by himself, he must be pushed by servants/opponents. If you lose during your overall game play 10 your servants you'll lose for good. Enjoy!
IMPORTANT -- Additional Gameplay Info & Tips: * You can skip the waiting by pressing spacebar anytime in the Set-Up phase. * Spiky things are harmless when they touch you. They only make your king's navigation harder. * You can win not just only by pushing king onto the finish square, but also by killing all spiky things.
The learning curve is a bit off. There are so many thing to do in the first level it's really hard to pick up on the basics. I managed to finish it in 11 moves on my first try, and that's far too much effort for a first level, for the first thing a player has to do. Try to ease in new players into the game. I think the first level should have just had the king and 1 or 2 servants, no death, no spiky things that apparently don't kill you (I though they did, based on the graphics).
This was weirdly relaxing to play, kind of nice really... Would have been nice to have been able to skip the countdown if I had already told my servants what to do. The graphics and audio were amazing! :)
ThirteenWB: Thank you! The countdown can be skipped by pressing spacebar. I was so tired when I was submitting this game that I forget to mention this... :)
Loved the art style and the sounds. good game, found it a bit difficult, and easier to kill the spiky things than get the king thing to the finish area.
Felt like a really interesting concept and good use of the theme. The audio, music and visuals all worked together to created a unified style.
The gameplay was quite fresh and original, it felt like it would be something that would hold up well on a touch device.
I think the lead guitar on the main music went out of time with the rhythm guitar a bit, which, ended up bugging me a little once I noticed, but this was my one irk with the otherwise really nicely done audio.
Starts off a bit too hard but if you can make some levels to ease the player in you've got a really good game here! Like the art style and the music and it's a good idea.
Innovative, aesthetically nice, and innovative mechanics. I didn't read the tutorial, and solved the first 2 levels by pushing the enemies into the pit (it's easier than navigating to finish sometimes). Thank you for putting this together!
Good job. Polished graphics and good audio (tho it could use some extra work on the sound mix), the idea is quite nice. Also really relaxing :)
Still, you should IMO rework the difficulty curve, the first level is way too hard and I had a hard time understanding what was going on (I thought the black circle was the objective). And something to explain the extra features maybe !
The idea is quite original and quite challenging (perhaps a preliminary level could help people get more in touch with the mechanics, but personally, I don't mind the difficulty)
Love the sound/graphics but found this game sort of hard (maybe I just fail XD ) I featured it in my LD27 compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX5erHA1DPE
I'm afraid the gameplay isn't quite my cup of tea, so I ended up ragequitting after skipping some levels and wasting my remaining seconds. I think the mechanics are interesting though, and it's a very polished package.
I liked the music, and it meshed well with the art style. It all feels friendly and whimsical. Not quite for me, but still an excellent piece of work. Well done! :)

Nice graphics, sound is cool! Nice polish, it's in my fav.
