Little Lads Hit the Notes (or fall into lava and they don't want that)
Welcome Summoner. Your lads are here to serve and to play you a little tune. Summon lots but be careful!

How to Play
A good summoner must never allow their lads to venture into the lava. The only way to accomplish this task is to ensure they will meet a note along their path.
Left-Click: Summon Lads (below the line of salt)
Ctrl-R: Restart
Works on Mobile and All Platforms
When they hit the notes you get a cute lil note sound based on the tune playing and the lad is kept from the lava.
Made from scratch for Ludum Dare 55 entirely in Pico-8!
Give it a try--I loved using Pico-8 and I would definitely recommend it!

Absolutely loved the aesthetic! I wish the music was more driven by our battle against the notes but for a quickly made game it looks great and feels good and it's adorable but those poor lil' lads gone from home to never return!
If I had suggestions it'd be to have it be more of a rhythm game where our actions impacted the music, spawning lil' lads, destroying notes, missing notes (either them hitting us or us missing them and hitting the end). Mouse control is a bit of a mess, I almost think I'd prefer it'd just follow my mouse and spawn in the nearest lane to where my mouse is but that might mess with the whole vibe that you have going on of it being a cartridge game.
love the game! fun and simple
