The game crashes for me before it starts, I can give you the error codes but not much else. Debugging in visual studio gave me this: An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in Unknown Module.

Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=842cf8be1de50553' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Perhaps you are missing some XNA libraries? Or is this just me?

Perhaps are you missing some XNA libraries? This is a common problem I've seen when someone hasn't XNA installed. I tested it and it worked on all my machines. I'll port it later to MonoGame anyways, so that problem will be solved.

Oops, you are right, my bad, my XNA is not working for any game. Sorry about that! Cant delete my comment though :S

HARD! but good fun. I like bombing stuff with eggs :)

prowler 2015-04-20 11:43

Hard as hell! But great! The next Tiny-flappy-wings-bird. Seriously! Upload it into the app-store, you will be suprised! (I can help you uploading it or make an app out of it if you like).

This is a humor and theme full scorer for me. However, I'm missing some background music to push up the sound and mood score but it is fun and overall a seriously good game!

Keep up that good work!

Pat

P.S.: If you don't know how many stars to give to my little toy: give 5 stars to every category and you will see a lot of funny yellow stars on your voting screen ;)

Nice video on Youtube by the way!

Very Hard ! My best score is 8. I love the design of the "different" bird :-)

hamsternator 2015-04-21 09:58

This thing is hard XD
I'd suggest placing the bird a little further to the left since you need some time to react to what's coming. The up/down movement seemed way to harsh to me at first, but I can kind of see the appeal to that now.

Fun entry =)

Don't workikng

ghen 2015-04-21 15:11

pain in the arse to play :)), but really fun, my highscore only 5 tho :/, this is harder than one of those flappy bird like game with swinging hammer
it probably much better if it using poop instead of egg :p

Thanks for the feedback. It was not intended to look like flappy bird. In fact, I realized that after the competition.

@Prowler hmm. I'll think about porting it to Android or something, I want to learn that. Great idea!

@Hamsternator It was intended to have it in the front of the screen, so you have to act really fast! And it would be more convenient for the eggs too.

@timmik94 Do you have XNA installed? I can't do anything with "Don't workikng", please explain why.

wish I could play this, but i'm on a mac.....looks like a fun game!<3 Bob

yozz 2015-04-22 14:00

Yeah, it's as hard as flappy bird.
Nice!

darkgrisen 2015-04-22 14:05

Haha! Really funny game! It reminds me from the game Flappy Bird.
I scored 36! :D

A very steep learning curve but was fun after a while of accustumization. Maybe have slightly less opponent birds at the begginning to let the player learn how to play?

sorlok 2015-04-24 12:08

Has some interesting things about it. I like the egg mechanic and the visuals.

amour-maternel 2015-04-26 11:49

Classic but fun to play. You should have put the bird a little more on the right i think.

gamequester 2015-04-30 12:03

Very hard but fun game. My highscore was 27.

fussycashew 2015-04-30 21:10

Wow, INCREDIBLY difficult. I feel like the controls were a bit too touchy, and the hotbox on the bird was a little to big. However, still pretty fun and addicting. HS: 14 :(

monkeedude1212 2015-05-07 21:43

Not bad. Gravity felt a bit too strong and the hitbox seemed to be just a bit bigger than the birder (or was too "boxy" where there's empty space on the birder graphic) - so it was very difficult, but otherwise good theme, graphics, and addition to traditional helicopter gameplay.
