Simple but fun enough. I just think that the health regeneration should not be. If you take your time, your allies protect you and you can easily go really far! Good job anyway!

Pretty satisfying to smash the tanks and kick people out of the way. It's a little weird when you stand still (as the clouds move but the grass has no indication of movement), but it was fun. And I love how happy all the little fellas are!

Pretty fun for a simple game. Graphics were a little bleh.

Thanks for the comments!
Meedoc: Ya, I was never sure if health regen was helpful to the game or not.
Sodaware: I agree, I had planned to add grass or trees to the background to give a better sense of movement, ran short on time though.

The physics on the balls gives it a cool sense of randomness. Nice premise too.

Quite fun :)

devince 2012-04-23 22:14

good idea

Definitely greater than the sum of its parts. I had fun with it. =)

Bouncing on tanks feels amazing. Not sure I quite figured out how to effectively use the allies though.

A little limited but enjoyable nonetheless.

I had a lot of fun with this! It's admittedly a bit clunky and death seems like an eventuality rather than a failure, but at some point while I was kicking my 20th swordsman in a row I realized I was really enjoying myself :).

Nice work!

This was quite fun for a simple game. I really liked the breaking apart effect on the blimps and tanks.

I thought having the friendly rocket launcher guys worked really well. The best strategy I found was to use them to take out the other rocket launcher guys and use the spaceman to destroy the blimps and tanks (if you tried to jump on the rocket launcher guys you would get hurt by the sword guys and if you ran at them you would get shot, so best to just go back and let the green guys do the work :)).

I managed to get over 17000 feet :)

Not bad! I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but punting guys around was surprisingly satisfying. xD I like how the wreckage of vehicles does collateral damage.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm hoping for the next Ludum I will have a bit more experience and can make something a bit more in depth.

Jerm: That is the strategy I tend to use if there are more than a few of the rocket guys, I think my highest was about 28k.

I created a timelapse video in case anyone is interested.

***I'm posting this on all non-browser games I bring up in an attempt to encourage folks to make browser games next time around. Do not take it personally.***

When hundreds of people make non-browser games, that means that, to play all of the entries, I would need to download hundreds of games to my computer. I typically use OS X, so Windows-only entries are particularly inconvenient.

Please consider making a browser game next time.

Couldn't rate because I'm using a Mac. Sorry :(

hallway 2012-04-24 21:28

Sorry about that. XNA is the only game programming framework I have any experience with at the moment.

adventureislands 2012-04-26 17:18

Hah, kicking little people is surprisingly satisfying, nice job.

arkazon 2012-04-26 17:49

Awesome, good game. I only managed to get 6654 feet but oh well, it was good fun!

triplevisiongames 2012-04-28 13:33

There is nothing more fun than headbutting blimps! Great job!

ryana 2012-04-29 08:59

Jumping on tanks and baddies is always fun... graphics need work but well done overall it works!

datamosh 2012-05-03 05:22

Graphics maybe need a little more work for my taste, but it's fun anyway! Good job!

ddrkirbyisq 2012-05-11 12:14

This is somehow way more amusing than it should be. ._.
