For some reason i found this game to be hilarious and im not really sure why haha. Pretty fun, those other swans are jerks, taking all my hard earned food D:

this is so insanely cool. good job. you manage to make a really fun experience with good graphics. even the audio is fun

lars-faust 2014-04-28 09:13

Haha, loving it.
Very slick look, very responsive and i really like the fact you added combo-functionality.

My best score is 370.

Great fun! Love the art work, Bloody swans!

Nice, I think the resolution is a little low, It mostly works but sometimes you can mistake a Beak for a bit of food.

Would make a good Phone/Tablet Game.

Really liked it! Great visuals, unusual style and gameplay! But it's tough as nails.. I was so bad at this..

Hahaha. Good game. At first i thought it was easy, but i enjoyed how hard it is after a while if you try to make combos :D

bazld 2014-04-28 10:56

Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated :)

@Mincemeat Yeah, having the other birds also eat food was the very last thing on my list, but its kind of funny to line up a combo then lose it :D
@Lerc - agreed, the art got so low res that it can be confusing, esp similar colors.

madhoe 2014-04-28 10:58

This is actually pretty fun! Love the polish and the aesthetics, as well as the overall "feel" of the game. However I feel it's not very inclined towards the theme?

bazld 2014-04-28 11:13

@madhoe - agreed, I could have items/creatures breaking thru the surface or something.

Nice simple concept and really well executed. Great stuff!

pawegio 2014-04-28 18:25

Perfect! I really like it... Think about android version!

440 was my best. Took a little while to get used to the swan-control but it was surprisingly fun once I figured it out.

I would guess if something be added it would be soundtrack and giving the foods graphics a bit more love, water surface rippling effects so food doesn't simply appear out of nowhere, some shakes and the general stuff to spice it up even some more.

There's nothing like an on-line leader board either to get peoples attention.

Nice job, I like the visual style. Simple but still fun.

icereci 2014-04-28 20:26

so simple yet so enjoyable. good work.

terraco 2014-04-28 23:39

Sawns are dicks! Good game. Perfectly modelled swan behaviour.

omgnoseat 2014-04-29 02:22

I don't think you can get pixely swans to look any better than this :p

bombjack 2014-04-29 06:18

fun little game! great!

lullul 2014-04-29 09:07

Great game, got little addicted to it. Good pixelart and the sounds fits the game perfectly.

davidllanos22 2014-04-29 15:48

Really enjoyed your game. Kinda funny and balanced. The idea of combos is also pretty cool. Good job :)

thorig 2014-04-29 18:46

The graphics are great and the game is fun. Good job.

depp 2014-04-30 07:48

An elegant game! There is nothing I would add or remove.

pancakecity 2014-04-30 17:10

I really like those graphics, and the sound effects too. Good gameplay.

king_mew 2014-05-03 00:29

Fun. I like the glowing effect the sprites have.

aaants 2014-05-03 11:18

Cool. Simple, effective and fun :)

capnramses 2014-05-04 01:07

it has a very nice graphics+audio style...retro yet with particles and stuff - nice.

agecaf 2014-05-04 14:24

I really liked how you made the swans, and the sound they make. It's fun and simple.

bazld 2014-06-28 13:28

I released it iOS and Android, for those who can't get enough stroppiness. Its basically the same game, but with added medals and game center. Byeee!
