In Mass Move Minion Magic you summon minions and chase them through puzzles in your chambers. The catch? You controll all minions at the same time.

Puzzle your way through 17 levels with varying difficulty. You will stand on buttons, switch switches and run face first into walls.

There are three types of minions which you can summon:
- The Homunculus (we call him Garry) is an all rounder and always required to finish the level
- The Zombie is a real dumbass, very slow on top aswell
- The Fae is an elegant creature who can glide above most dangers.

Changelog

- v1.0.2 Fix game breaking bug during level loading
- v1.0.1 Fix typos and small bugs
- v1.0.0 Initial Game Release

I love how cute your sprites were. Very fun game to play and relax to.

Fun little game that does a really nice job introducing one mechanic at a time, nicely done!

I tried to try, but I couldn't get to the sixth level.)
cool idea with maneuvering, like!, great puzzle

This was great! It's hard to do a puzzle game right, and I think you did! Hope you had fun in making this. (Loved the sound effects, too ;))

Reminds me a lot of my entry to LD52, actually, just more developed than mine! Some great puzzle designs here too, good work!

Clever puzzle game, nice work!

This is a fun idea! Great job :)

The style was well done, and I was jamming to the music the whole time. The SFX were great as well. Difficulty ramped up for me pretty quickly after a while. I think I definitely cheesed some puzzles, but maybe that's the point! Nice game!

A cute little puzzle game with a neat idea. I however often felt that you just summon everything and then see how you can move them the best. Pretty neat all in all though! Well done!

Nice little puzzle game!

I got an error after the 6th level that made me unable to continue :/

@obanigarage we made a bugfix that introduced this, if you redownload from itch, its now fixed again.

OnlinE_Play16 Apr 2024, 15:23

I gave up at this level. So far, it's the most creative game I've played in this jam. Good job!

Jo Bettaque16 Apr 2024, 21:05

@online-play good job still! If you want to try again, try sacrifice ;)

Kirass16 Apr 2024, 23:25

You are really great! The game turned out great!

derllie17 Apr 2024, 11:53

i really love this 2d graphics, you did a great job!

Great game! There are some very difficult puzzles and I really enjoyed it. You seem to have made it using LÖVE 11.5. If this was your first time using the engine then great job, it was amazing! I checked and it seems LÖVE 11.5 does have the ability to run on HTML5 so you could consider adding a web build. Other than that I don't have much advice, great job!

@dymino Thank you for your feedback, glad you enjoyed it. It was indeed our first project with LÖVE and we really like it. We actually have a running web version. But it feels kinda laggy and instable in comparison to the native version, therefor we decided not to link it here. If you want to take a peek, you can find it linked and hosted in our GitHub repository.

Lovely game! The sprites, sdx, and music were all adorable, and leanded really nicely to lightening the game. Som really innovative mechanic design on display - I especially liked the killing/resummoning mechanic being a part of solving puzzles, rather than just failing/restarting. Ingenious! Thank you!

intresting puzzle game, it really made me think on stream the other day (a nice way to say i'm bad at puzzle games lol) keep it up!

Baluj19 Apr 2024, 03:31

It's an interesting game. Good job!

AtzederSerbe20 Apr 2024, 23:49

I love a good puzzle game, well done!

You've succeeded in balancing out the difficulty of this style of game, while at the same time keeping it fun.

It lets us gradually get used to it, so we can really think about how to do it.

The music doesn't loop quite right, like there's a break just before it starts again.

Good pixel art and sound, well done!
