I don't really understand how to play, and the game lags really bad. But its a cool concept and the audio is pretty good.

Draw out your 'wiper' and then capture the red balls with it while letting the green balls pass through. Sorry, it's not clear enough and a bit buggy :( Thanks for trying!

The sounds freaked me out at first, interesting gameplay. Very difficult though

A good challenging concept!
But yeah the game is a bit laggy :P

Really hard to control, and not knowing what is ahead makes it nearly impossible.

That song tho omg. A++

It is an innovative concept, but quite confusing; the sound is also good. A couple of issues I had:
1. The game is lags a lot. I have a very good computer, but it really struggled (it was actually difficult to scroll down to do this review.
2. I wasn't sure what to do with the yellow balls, it seemed like they were hurting if I let them go down.
3. The red balls stay on the screen too long. I had difficulty right from the start when I had multiple red balls appear quickly or a red and a green ball spawn next to each other.

It did not lag for me! But it is still a bit hard to rotate my creature, coz I have to hit it precisely with my mouse! Cool game anyways!

Really good music! Cool art style! Its really nice to build your own way of playing.

Pretty interesting concept but the web build is very difficult to play. I can't just hold the mouse button down and rotate my contraption left and right. Instead the game only seems to register one rotation direction until I click down again with the mouse. This makes it very challenging and frustrating to react to the game. Did not try it on android.

This would make a pretty fun little mobile game! I wish I had an android to test out the apk. Fun game - you should definitely think about cleaning it up a little and submitting it to Google Play.

Seems to lag a lot. I think I found a good wiper, though. It can hold balls, and wiggle a bit to release the ones on top.

this is pretty cool, you might be able to do some really interesting things with it

Good idea but needs a bit more of work. Anyway I played it on my phone and it worked smooth and well :)

ohsqueezy 2014-12-10 16:41

It also lags on my phone and laptop, making it difficult to do what I want which is to really slap the balls. Anyway, this is a great idea even without letting the player draw the wiper, and drawing the wiper makes it more interesting because it always feels like there's a more efficient way to draw it.

I've continued working on this and it's in a MUCH better state than this weekend. If you vote on Wild Wipers, you should vote based on the build presented here, but if you want to try a much updated and improved version, you can here:

Neat concept!

You should use another hoster. The current redirects to a porn site when visiting from mobile, even in the iframe...

quikding 2014-12-14 19:57

GagaPete: fixed, sorry about that. hacked .htaccess

With a bit of polish, this is a very innovative and interesting concept you got here. Something along an action-puzzle, where you to draw proper forms and than use them in fiddly action situations.
