I like the idea, but I don't like it that A and B are so far away from each other on my keyboard and then having to select with mouse enemies with the other hand....I have small hands...does that count as porting issue?
It was fun watching the little enemies attack each other! At first I was confused -- since you can click the A and B buttons with the mouse (and I tried that first), I figured that was the only way to play, despite it not really being possible to click the on-screen buttons quickly enough to mind control an enemy. Just a little minor point of confusion that could be avoided by disabling the ability to click the on-screen buttons. Nice work!
This is more fun than I thought it first was. I'm not quite happy with the constant button bashing when i still have to select the people, but otherwise it's all fine.
Oh, and I like the idea of using two buttons to control someone, it really is a good fit to the theme.
But I dig the concept!
