I couldn't get this to run (Windows 7), but it looks cool.

Only got XP at home (old machines), but I've got Vista in the office, so I'll give it a try out. That might be sufficiently new enough to test.

Game didn't run.

Updated. Silly issue related to threading. Testing on an 8 core Windows Vista machine using threaded rendering. Should be a'ok now :)

Game ran great on my Windows 7 machine. The gameplay mechanics are interesting, although I had a hard time figuring out how exactly to win the stage! Great entry man, I love it :D

Ran fine for me...
AND IT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME.

Nice game, ran great for me. I think the lettuce adds a lot to the gameplay of the game, rather than just splitting them up, you actually have to try to keep them away from the lettuce as well. The flocking mechanics are interesting, and actually seem quite believable, they really do seem like a bunch of silly flat bunnies hopping around.

OH MY GOD THEY ARE MULTIPLYING! :O

It is a really funny concept and I like the style of the game... but... could you PLEASE make a version where the cat can eat those... monsters? :D

Haha very nice, I gave up the second or third time when there were 3 rows... They always left in pairs D:

I really like the style of this game, well done

neilo 2011-12-20 23:25

Oh yeah they are multiplying :P I don't want them to be eaten :'( I am gonna do work on it post LD, so any suggestions made here I will take into account :)

I would tell you the trick, but there is a trick that I figured out whilst playing it. Them leaving in pairs is actually emergent, I didn't code it to do that :P

*I would tell you the trick but I don't want to spoil it.

Great idea with a lovely style. :)

Very cute and an actual game with a real challenge. The only thing thats a little frustrating is the head start they get - hard to do a flawless victory ;) but... very adorable!

jeffz 2011-12-23 00:08

frustrating. need radius damage, sword slashing, magic spells and bombs. damn rabbits!

wbobeirne 2012-01-06 03:40

Impressive work, but didn't feel very 'alone'

matthias_zarzecki 2012-01-06 07:50

You really start to think "leave my lettuce alone!"

The 'updated' version didn't run for me, but the original version worked great!. This is magnificent! I got stuck on a level, but I had lots of fun. I liked your hand written instructions, but some mistakes in the text made it hard to read. One of my favourite games of the event! :)

nickd3000 2012-01-08 22:12

Froze on startup on my win 7 machine I'm afraid :(

ratking 2012-01-08 22:15

Very unique gameplay and graphics (I like the idea of using flat polygons for the characters)! I'm not exactly sure what I did right when I chased a rabbit away, but this is just a minor gripe. :)

Really well done game, the core mechanic was solid and original, and every time I lost I knew it was my own fault. The graphics and sound really made the rabbits, cat, and lettuce seem believable. And the mechanic where the rabbits who are alone get scared and run away was an interesting take on the theme.

defiantburrito 2012-01-09 09:08

I like the unusual graphics style.

The gameplay is also pretty unusual. I think it's a neat idea. I'm impressed with the flocking behavior.

Sadly, the game isn't too fun for me. I just got bored after 6 levels or so. It needs something else I think.

Overall, good job!

callidus 2012-01-09 13:35

w00t, I liked that one! really cool idea and the graphics style was original too. Good game, can get quite hard though. Full points for community as you did the shadow keynote too
:-D
