Awesome game! It was really fun, but the followers kept getting in my way and preventing me from moving. I loved it!

Thank you. I know, they are a hassle sometimes. But they keep you alive! I will try to improve that, and the controls.

This is not the jam comments area though :-D

I liked it. After dying and restarting, it was a fun challenge to keep the followers alive for more damage

Thank you. Gathering and keeping the followers alive, is the only way to get through right now. If or when I get to upgrade the player, then it could be feasible to stand on your own ;-)
