Good graphics and sounds, it was a bit hard, couldn't beat third level. I didn't understand the E key to interact, it was always the same result for the enemies, they say something and then I have to attack them. I expected using the slaves to cover me in some way in order to fight higher level enemies but they just die and I lose :(

@arielsan Thank you for your feedback. The "interact (E)" key is there to trigger the enemies when you are ready to fight and to turn in the slaves once you've collected enough. There is nothing more to it. It's possible to block the enemies with your slaves and the enemies cannot harm them but you cannot abuse that by just smashing into the slaves and also hit the enemy while the enemy cannot reach you. This is why your hits can damage the slaves. Also, the idea is that you need to treat the slaves like a valuable currency and hitting them is obviously contradictory to this.

> it was a bit hard, couldn’t beat third level

Did you use your jump mechanic? Maybe we need to make this more obvious for level 3.

Mmmm, the truth is I didn't remember about the jump mechanics xD, I completed more levels now.
