Every 10 seconds a suicidal minion gets so sad, it actually dies. Help them!

It's inspired by the good old Lemmings <3

You only need a mouse to set the interaction mode and then click on the minion you want to manipulate.

Game is pretty cool. The level design is neat and is interesting having to balance comforting the minions and guiding them along at the same time.

Nice idea - one request would be keybinds for the different mode toggles - starts getting very hectic in later levels when you're switching between all the modes for all the different guys then having to go back up to click them. Modes on keys then mouse to click the dudes might feel a bit smoother. Cool stuff!

Nice game, pretty hard for me but it was very fun anyway :)

Fun game! Thought it was easy and all in a sudden had most of them falling down shouting "Oh no!". XDDD

@drummermansam Thanks a lot :)

@robin49 @lonewolfdev glad you had fun although it was a bit hard for you ^^

The concept and audio were both funny and well-executed. I could see this being turned into a "full" game, so to speak.

I found the jumping mechanic to be a little janky (it didn't seem very consistent and you were able to make minions jump several times in midair), but it worked well enough and overall the game was fun.

@jaker Thanks :) yes, the jumping is a bit out of control. I let it like that for now, because friends testing had extra fun with it.

Cool entry :) its refreshing to comfort/cheer the minions up. The difficulty was nice, although the multi-jump in level 3 kind of made it more easy than level 2 for me^^

I like the little lemings, they are minimalist but they pass on all the emotion needed. The gameplay is cool, the levels are diverse and it gets pretty hard at the end. Maybe a keyboard shortcut to jump from commmands can help.
Good job!

I really liked this! Especially the "Comfort" sound :p

I think I found an exploit though :D https://seafile.wheybags.com/f/ebadb37858834f10b24a/

Interesting take on the lemmings formula, I had a lot of fun in the early levels but felt difficult ramped up too quickly lately. Could maybe reduce the minion requirement in later stages? Nice job!

@dxk2294 The actual requirement is not high at all. You do not have to save all of them to get to the next level, but if you feel ambitious you can replay until you can save them all.

Good ole Lemmings indeed!

i really liked the text sound! and the concept for the game is really cool. there's like, a slow-motion drama to it that fits in well with the depression theme. cheers!

Very nice take on Lemmings. It was pretty challenging starting with the jumping level. The take on the theme is very interesting with the comforting. The presentation is great too, gameplay is smooth and responsive.
