This was a fun, tight, little escort game with an even more person to escort than usual (me, again lol). I particularly enjoyed the "turbo priest" mechanic where I pushed him around to escape bandits faster.

Very nice game! I like the concept and the sound effects hahahaha
I also LOVED the "drag everything around" on the menu hahaha I DUNNO WHY, but I found it very fun

Pretty fun. I liked the challenge of moving two characters at once. I also liked that you could shoot the priest and he would take a lot of damage. LOL

The concept is really original. Needs polishing but awesome idea.

Control scheme was very interesting and actually is was actually pretty fun to move around. I thought it was a bit frustrating that the camera was locked on the priest instead of the thief because the priest moves so slow. Collisions with the environment were also very restrictive and a bit frustrating. all around pretty fun to play nice job !

@ownedstuff Thanks for the feedback. The point was that you were just following the priest, but you're right that the priest moved really slow, Maybe I should have added a sprint button so that it wouldn't be as boring.

@tylerstraub I wanted trees to serve as borders, but do you know a way to do that without it getting annoying?

Thsi was really well done! I loved how you used the theme, and it was fun enough that I was replaying it quite a few times!

@thedestoryer i guess it was annoying because tradtionally trees are only borders at the stump. it also felt like there were trees everywhere which made it more frustrating. i understand what you were going for though, not sure of a proper solution

The novel escort mechanic and the medieval(?) concept is pretty cool!

Really nice concept ! The controls were a bit odd and frustrating though. I really like the minimalistic artstyle

I loved the gameplay, which was challenging at first, but after a few minutes I mastered the controls and easily escorted the clergyman to the church. I liked graphics and an awesome mood the game had. The biggest flaws were graphics (I liked the style, but they could have been a bit better anyway) and "cut" ending. "You won" wasn't just enough...

tree collisions were occasionally awkward but the controlling two character system was interesting and the interactive menu was a nice addition

I liked a lot the graphic, it reminded me of South Park when they go to Canada side :D
The concept respects well the theme, however I found that the game was rather hard for my taste, I couldn't finish a single game, even one triggered infinite enemies on me x)

Overall, nice work !

I like the geometric artstyle; it worked surprisingly well with basic shapes. As others have pointed out, the controls definitely felt a bit off. Once I got the hang of it, the game had a good feeling of tension to it. Nice work overall!

Not bad! I really like the mechanics! Just the perfect balance of difficulty as well!

Gameplay feels really nice and sound design is satisfying. I also like the concept. It was a bit too challending for me though and didn't really know what to do as soon as enemies started piling onto the priest.
