Fun little game that reminds me of Pikmin! If this was expanded with more mechanics I think it would be a big hit!

Really interesting game and impressive considering it's made in a custom engine! It was starting to get fun in level 2 with managing resources against the golems but I think I was softlocked in level 3 as I had no creatures to command to break the wall. But nice job regardless!

I can certainly see the Pikmin influence, and with some more things to use your little creatures on, this could be quite good. I liked that you brought the survivors from level to level, although that did get me a little in trouble when I lost a bunch during a tough fight. Cool that you used your own custom language!

I like the designs but the creatures are a bit difficult to controle for me

I love a pikmin game, I'd like to see some wider open levels that really let me flex my Dandori muscles!

Thanks everyone! I was aiming for Pikmin style gameplay, but I fought too long with making the collision detection robust, so the levels where a bit of a rushed afterthought. Pretty happy about it now though, it feels like a good foundation to add on top.

That's cool ! The vibe is here ! I would have a button to see the controls still but i managed the game without it. Love it !

Very nice game. I especially liked the design of the little stumps. Looking forward to see more from these creators.

Very cool that this was done with a custom language and no existing engine. Like the pikmin-like mechanics.
