*Solve puzzles with the help of everyone that has played this game so far!*
Or,
Post compo changes:
- Added mobile controls
- New title screen that shows the past players
- Improved the overall styling of the UI
- Added UI indicator for players you've summoned (thanks @local-minimum for the idea)
This is a puzzle game in which you can summon other players who have previously played the game. You'll need to work together in order to get to the finish line and not accidentally kill each other. If you beat the game, hopefully you will be helpful to future players!
- Arrow keys / WASD: Move
- R: Restart level
- Mouse: Select one or more players to summon (depending on the level)
- Bonus for Ludum Dare players: Press < or > to skip levels
NOTE: Sometimes you need to summon more than 1 player
Only one player needs to actually complete the level, so you can still win if you're the helper that stays behind.
Every time you beat a level (either you or another player makes it to the goal), your inputs will be saved on the server. That also means each player you can summon has beaten the level with those inputs... so it should be always be possible to work together and beat it with them!
There's no ending screen so when the game loops back around, you've won :) But you can try to play again and take a different role in the puzzles if you'd like!
Have fun!

And if you rate the game without completing it... I'll know ;)
