Awesome game! I loved it! My two cents: 1. the "falling all over" is too unbalanced (speed of falling vs speed of hero vs area to be covered) and 2. in the history, I would change the pygmies idea of "there're others like us" to "the gods are angry at us" (most likely what could occur). Anyway, this game can easily became a "full featured game" outside LD!
Very fun and easy to pick up. Love the artwork!
Nice! Much more motivating to shoot meteors down that are falling on people than to shoot missiles that are falling on vague buldings.
Thanks for the comments guys.
@m4c0 - Our hero pygmy thinks differently from the others, while everyone else assumes that the sky god is angry with them, he wonders if there might be other people outside their island. He imagines that the world is not as tiny as they think it is.
I do intend to release the game as well, I just need to polish things up some more :)
Nice! The visuals are extraordinary, and the gameplay is pretty cool.
nice game :) looks amazing :)
I love games with pixel design. Simple story and gameplay. Great! Congrats
This looks and plays great! I would use something other than numbers to show when something is about to fall down though.
The numbers show how high they are above the screen, I could have probably been more clear about that.
I like the game :)
Easy and fun.
The graphics are good as well!
Good job!
Easy but very funny!!! Well done! :).. The graphics and sounds are very nice! :)
Nice art, quite an original setting and very polished game.
A minor issue: Why use numbers for the menu if your game needs mouse? The first time I play I died because I didn't expect to use the mouse to shoot and I had to check the instructions.
Awesome pixel graphics and nice gameplay, music is missing though.
Looks great and nice take on the classic. But it gets quite hard when a lot of rocks are falling at once.
@fanatiko - Because it was quicker to create the title screen that way, rather than doing mouse clicking for buttons, and I wanted to spend more time on the game itself than on making buttons for my title screen. It's not going to stay that way.
@free_napalm - yeah I know, I can't compose music.
Wow, except for the lack of music, I'd call this a perfect entry. Really enjoyable controls, looks and gameplay. Seriously well done, I hope this ends up around the top of the rating!
haha, this was great. i was kind of hoping i could kill the other villagers with my spears. would be hilarious to have missed throws damage them. to me, anyway.
the graphics and sounds are perfect.
I liked the small story bits in between levels, unfortunately the "ending" was kind of a let down.
I thought this was a nice story and the game has good controls. The rounds in story mode could be a bit shorter (or use some variation).
