Great fun making this.

quantumvm 2012-12-18 02:40

Not sure if it was just my problem but king kong would not turn around. Overall great game though! It was very pretty to look at. I loved the color scheme you used.

mase 2012-12-18 02:50

daaaaaah! got him down to 26. The controls felt good. Kong looked like a giant mutant panda.

dalbinblue 2012-12-18 02:57

Really nice style in the game's graphics. Set a really nice mood.

amoaeba-junior 2012-12-18 10:38

Loved it

arhpositive 2012-12-18 10:39

Pretty little game. Nice usage of the theme. Good entry overall. :)

sunshiranui 2012-12-18 11:53

Love the art style! It would be nice if there was a button to accelerate a bit. But otherwise, well done!

william_edwards 2012-12-18 11:59

Lovely :)

prelucid 2012-12-18 12:01

Game was kind of hard to play for me, but really cool idea. Tried it out more than a few times.

luke161 2012-12-18 12:01

Awesome, great job!

keyboardthrashingfactory 2012-12-18 13:11

Cool idea, very difficult game but thats a good thing :)

stigmawall 2012-12-18 13:11

Nice graphics, reminds me Lampião the Movie.
And it's not so hard, you just need a little patience.

rubna 2012-12-18 13:27

This is great!

zedutchgandalf 2012-12-18 13:40

An acceleration button would be nice :)
The plane is a bit slow...
Overall this is a lovely, be it a bit short, but fun game.
I like the graphical style :)

quill18 2012-12-18 13:40

Excellent visual style, great sound design. I love the feel of flying the plane.

I'd love to see the gameplay rebalanced, because right now once you figure out the correct way to hit and run it because a bit boring to repeat over and over.

oborux 2012-12-18 14:23

Awesome flying game, Kong takes some beating but I managed it...

Love the dramatic music and tension flying about the scene... great job :-)

loren 2012-12-18 16:27

Fun! I really liked the positional audio and art style. Very cool plane

the-jack 2012-12-18 17:15

Very nice aesthetic, and I liked the way the plane turning is handled.

I would have pegged Kong for the villain but what do I know?

pitoum 2012-12-18 17:15

Love the art! So gorgeous!
But maybe a bit slow :) I would like to fly much faster!

sanctuaryinteractive 2012-12-18 17:19

Colour scheme in this game looked really nice. The subtlty of the 3D was great. Controls were nice to use after a bit of use. Nice work!

lotusgame 2012-12-18 17:21

Very good concept ! Nice 3D to 2D effect ! I really like. Too bad it was too short, i want more :)

manest 2012-12-18 17:27

Realy nice design. It's realy hard game

meep 2012-12-18 19:30

Beautiful art style; really set the mood of the game! A little difficult to maneuver the plane at first, but it was manageable. Great work!

kato9 2012-12-18 20:08

Nice little game. I like the minimal color palette. I got him down to 2 and then died from crashing into a building. One thing though...I thought King Kong was the 'villain'?

shaneshanekavanagh 2012-12-18 21:13

He was just cruising around his island protecting his island, then he was taken to the city for our amusement. He's just a big softie. Ok, a really big softie.

shaneshanekavanagh 2012-12-18 21:14

Cheers for all the compliments peeps! Much appreciated!

CireNeikual 2012-12-18 22:00

Great entry! I think it could be improved if the boundaries of the map were marked a bit more clearly. I was confused when the plane kept turning around automatically.

jackspinoza 2012-12-18 22:12

Good-blinking-stuff there, I liked the red moon rising/ apocalypse now colour palate.

JohnnyJohnJohns 2012-12-18 22:33

Love the style of it, really good job. Plane control and shooting could use some work but overall an interesting concept!

michaeljlong 2012-12-19 00:14

Very nice, found it a bit difficult to begin with but very fun once you sink into it.

georgebroussard 2012-12-19 01:52

Nice music and mood. Kong should turn around or do something to maybe make it more challenging. There's really no risk to dying unless you get impatient of fly badly.

floko 2012-12-19 02:43

nice music, pretty visuals... but the game was a bit easy, maybe kong could throw stuff or something like that, to increase the challenge. I just don`t get the theme, feels like kong is the villain.

kgs0142 2012-12-19 04:26

Fun and kick his ass!
And it's so nice to have a auto fire lol.

michax 2012-12-19 06:23

Nice mechanics and idea. Not sure if you are the villain in this but i guess that this monkey is city govern.
Great music and dramatic color scheeme :) Enjoyed it but didn't have balls to finish it.

bigbadwofl 2012-12-19 07:53

Very nicely done. I love the colors and the semi-3D effect.

har_g 2012-12-19 12:56

Noooooooooooo i die in the final action. 1Hp remaining.. stupid monkey.. Ok, super game, not sure that i'm the vilain but it was cool.

faust 2012-12-19 14:39

Cool entry, the art is very stylish.

jomomomo 2012-12-19 17:31

That was fun.. thanks for making it!

rialgar 2012-12-19 17:31

great entry, congratulations. Kong not turning around makes for a good "attack from behind" strategy, not sure if this is wanted:P

greenpixeldev 2012-12-19 21:42

Great job! Nice, smooth controls and a simple, well-defined goal - something that is missing from some other entries :D

delahee 2012-12-19 21:57

funny and tricky :)

nitramgc 2012-12-19 22:30

The control of the plane is really great!

I love the aesthetic too.

The auto turn is clever.

It took me several tries to get to the end. One time, I was going to win, but then I decided to explore the sky... SURPRISE :)

namuol 2012-12-19 22:48

Yeah man, I always hated those planes when I watched King Kong as a child. Poor King Kong. :[

Well done.

csanyk 2012-12-20 03:49

Boy is it hard not to die! Controls weren't difficult, but your turn radius is so large and your line of sight so small that it is really hard not to crash, by the time you see the obstacle it is too late to do anything.

I liked this, especially the graphics and the Kong laugh.

cwilloughby 2012-12-20 07:38

Really like the controls. Switching between left/right is intuitive.

zenmumbler 2012-12-20 11:12

Minimal visual style for maximum effectiveness, check. Good mood because of smooth animations and proper setting. A big ape. What more does one need?

Btw, by going fullscreen in the web player, my fire rate about quintupled allowing me to mow Kong down in 2 passes.

fishbrain 2012-12-20 12:24

Difficult!... but very cool, nice atmosphere and graphics.

somethingbeautiful 2012-12-20 13:49

great game!!
Pretty funy noises the king kong makes :3

overall great entry !!

flai 2012-12-20 16:20

I liked it a lot. Controls were a bit hard though

johndb 2012-12-21 03:26

Very well done!

samoojamies 2012-12-21 10:55

Very good art style and audio. Greates the nice mood. Kong could move more. My game also includes Kong ;).

cappelnord 2012-12-21 18:01

I think it wasn't hard at all, but fun!

darkfrost 2012-12-21 18:55

Good gameeee loved it ^^

illugion 2012-12-22 06:27

Really loved the art style and the smoothness of the plane's control, really cool game :D

starspell 2012-12-22 22:45

This is the best use of unity I've seen yet. You've used it for a purpose rather than just "whey-hey 3D". The style of the game is great and I like the idea.

Gameplay wise, it's a little tedious and easy. I'd love to see what you would do with it with more time.

cakencode 2012-12-23 17:53

The sound effect when you die is hilarious. It was pretty fun, although a little difficult and took me a few tries to get anywhere. It'd be nice if he could turn around and face you while you're shooting him from behind. Great work!

mesene 2012-12-23 19:46

Awesome color scheme and dinamyc menu, I enjoyed it a lot :)

endesga 2012-12-23 23:33

nice!

simianlogic 2012-12-25 14:39

Very pretty, and I liked the controls. Too hard, though.

refreshcreations 2012-12-30 01:48

Fun game! Reminded me of the bonus sections in Area 88 on the SNES a littile bit. Sound effects, music and nice limited palette graphical style all add up to a stylish looking and playing game. I'd like to have had more pressure on me in the form of a fuel meter / limited ammo though to ramp up the difficulty mind.

adventureislands 2012-12-30 18:33

I liked the graphical style and music! The plane controls were great, but the Kong appearently does nothing but stands still and waves his arms, perhaps he could have moved around or thrown stuff at you to make it bit more challenging?

ddionisio 2013-01-05 10:52

Really awesome! I love the art-style, it's like playing in a stylized old fashion movie poster! Also love how the music changes as you approach Kong. The controls play really well. It wasn't really that hard when you figure out that you can just go from behind and do a slow attack, rinse and repeat. Would benefit from different attack patterns. Overall, great game!

shaneshanekavanagh 2013-01-06 17:32

Gonna start writing this stuff down. Most of them are things I threw out because of time, but the comments are showing stuff I've never thought of. Thanks to everyone for the kind words too!

leafo 2013-01-07 07:29

I really like the art style! It looks cool. I like the controls, but because he just stands still you can just repeat the same back and forth motion to kill him :(

ilo 2013-01-08 00:04

Love the controls - simple and satisfying. :)
