cool game very pog 10/10

Rather fun, and reminds me of "no-one has to die"!

I found that if you used the "restart game" hotkey at the end of the game though, the speech bubble persists and covers up everything which makes it hard to replay without refreshing

Loved it!!

good game

😊👍

I won't spoil the game by saying how it ends, but this game really lives up to it's name, the ending really got me by surprise, it was a fun experience and a good lesson to learn.

Here is my link for my Video:

I keep killing him man! He must be dissapointed in me!

Now THAT was some pretty necessary evil.

WHY IS THIS SO HARD

Good, i couldn't solve one level in particular myself so i had to look it up. Fun characters, they all have different personalities and meanings in the game, some are heavy, small, jump high, are fast. Love how the actual unnecessary evil is how the game says sacrifices must be made even though you shouldn't actually sacrifice anything in the game. It blends 3D in 2D. Nice.

bug report:

if i restart level or game during dialogue sequence. the dialogue will remain after, and cause the game to freeze

Really good job with the subtle differences in platforming abilities between characters. It made the game fun to play through a second time when realizing that you can save everyone!

ending got me! lol i wished i only knew before hand! unnecessary evil- 00:36

Thank you for the superb game... yes we killed them over and over :D

Loved this game! Great idea! Wish it was longer!!! Any plans to expound on this game and idea? 

gu gem, buttt level three seem a bit buggy

Funny little game really enjoyed playing this Great job!

Solid game, well-made.

This is a very good game, especially for a game made in 72 hours, but it reminds me of BFDI 5b. I even used some techniques from that game like grab boosting (grabbing your friend, throwing him, switching to your friend, grabbing yourself, throwing, switching to yourself, then repeat)

Couldn't have saw the resemblance myself. Very weird comparasment.

Friendships wins again. Great work with it, had fun solving the puzzles. :)

good play~~~!!!!!!!!!
