The game didn't really have any goals :/

The idea is fun. The difficulty increases too quickly, and the game is something missing animation.

Poor little Bird, army are bad with him :(

Being your first ludum dare the game is good. Could have
some more features life flying up/down, and animations.
Keep it up, doing games is nice!

it's cute and i like the idea. Like OmnipotentPotatoDEV said, for LDs, try to add some small objective to the game at least so players have a nice little compact goal to achieve before rating

You need to improve the graphs. Put a little animation and it will be much better! congrats!!!

Thanks to all commenters so far! I agree with the comments so far. I'm continuing to improve the game beyond the LD Compo, and your suggestions are very welcome!

My best score was about 3800. Congratulations for making a game in 48 hours :) By the way, you can make gradients with GIMP too (it's an own tool). I'm using GIMP also and don't want to miss it. If you want to improve on the graphics, start with some little animations (like already said) and make the bullets bigger. You could also try to play with colors and make basic shapes instead of ms-paint-art. You could also check out pixel art (there are good tutorials for this) :)

Congrats on your first entry. Game is pretty straightforward but it's definitely not easy. Considering this is your first game, simplicity is understandable but you could've adjusted the difficulty curve better, resulting in a smoother and more relaxed gameplay. :)

Nevertheless, keep up the good work and continue making games!

Kind of feels like a reversed space invaders. I like the concept.

Difficulty increases too quickly, but other then that nice job getting something done!

Pooping on the hunters! I like the idea. I managed to get a score of 2063, but found the difficulty to increase too quickly and I wanted to be able to fire back faster too, I think that would have increased the fun. The scope of the game is perfect for the compo and great job on your first LudumDare.

It's a bit rough as it is now, but I think with a few improvements (add some audio, a little animation and a better difficulty curve) it could be quite fun.

Nice little game! With some clean up, this could be a great little arcade game! I like the concept!

sowihowl 2015-04-25 08:11

Good idea but maybe too quickly too hard...

thenoviceengineer 2015-04-26 06:37

Good game for your first entry :) I feel that it would have played a bit better if the bird could fire more quickly, or if the hunters didn't spawn so fast early on.

kinosawada 2015-04-28 03:46

I like the idea!

emmelineprufrock 2015-04-28 04:25

Difficulty really ramped up quickly, but an interesting straightforward concept.

Well done for first LD. Keep learning and honing your skills. Next one will be even better.

noorstudios 2015-04-29 03:09

cool idea, could use some tuning of difficulty. But absolutely an unconventional weapon ;)
