That was fun - I think I won? The game restarted and I didn't get hit by a shell

Nice idea!
@robashton
Yes, you will fly away from the planet (winning!) once you have collected ten animals. I didn't have time to implement proper UI/win screen. Well done!
Haha, nice little game! At first I was like "How the hell can I pick some animals? These tanks are insane!" but I found out proper tactics eventually. I WON :D
Pretty good idea. I like the planet rotation mechanics. It's hard though!
Wish animals move towards a ship a bit faster.
The lack of visible win condition kinda detracted from the game.
I won :)
Pretty fun - those tanks were total dicks, kept interrupting my dinner!
@Blodyavenger
Well done.
@nolacoaster
Thanks for the feedback. The game is too hard at first, then too easy once you get the hang of it. I didn't have time to tune gameplay properly.
@sev_inf
That's by design. But it would have been nice to have smaller animals move faster and heavier animals move slower. Maybe even be able to lift tanks and trees after a while...
@gameXcore
Thanks for the feedback. I agree.
@Beerman
Well done. I wanted to have tanks early on in development but were only able to put them in the game last minute. Wasn't a proper game until then...
Nice little game, I found it little hard (one hit and you are dead).
Fun little game, loved your sounds.
I really liked this!
Fun fun, tried to pickup the tanks but that didn't seems to work xD fun little game, kept me occupied for a while
Cute! Funny sounds and graphics. Good execution of a fun idea.
@Mago
Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking about having an energy bar or shield. Maybe allow the player to heal by scavenging tank wrecks... Didn't make it that far in development, though.
@h.attila
Thank you. I recorded the animal sounds in GarageBand on Mac, and edited the pitch there as well. The other sound effects were generated with as3sfxr.
@strong99
Yes, would have been nice to be able to pick up the tanks.
Shame there was no on screen score. One hit death seems a bit harsh but other people said they completed it. Rotation is nice. I liked the insane reverb on the sound.
@bradleypollard
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, some kind of visual feedback on your progress in the game is certainly missing.
that was hard, but fun :D
nice game,
i have to admit, when i saw the spash screen, i thought it was a bad game, but it wasn't, art is curious but ok, you have a consistent style and grabbing animals is really fun.
Good job on your game :)
Ok graphics. Polished gameplay and nice SFX's! Some score would be nice or maybe some global task like gather 10 cows. Anyway, congratulation on finishing!
Ha ha, that's fun man! Love the concept of moving around the earth or ground like that!
Thanks for the positive feedback, guys! I might make a post-judging version with progress indicator or score.
Those bullets are a bit slow, the could be faster to make it more difficult. The graphics were a bit blurry, but somehow it was fun :)
