So random, so awesome >.<
Love it! I chose comfy, cause comfy=win. The design is very clear and the controls are very fun. Great game
I won! so comfy haha great game!
Took me a few tries to win, but in the end I did it. Nice game. -Weloxux
Haha, awesome! GOTY
looks like entirely from-scratch webgl. very nice work!
What did I just play?
As a programmer, I am very excited about what you did. I din't know about GHCJS, so thanks for that and for sharing your code and engine.
As a player, I liked the humor and the idea, but sometimes I found frustrating some accidental camera rotations, and not understanding how long it takes from click to spawn.
Great job and thanks again!
I salute you for doing this in Haskell. great job.
This is interesting, adding music would make this even better. using the left mouse button for spawning and camera rotate is a bit hard though. i had to click really fast to win and sometimes the camera moved without me wanting it to.
Thank you all for playing and comments!
Indeed this entry is more proof-of-concept project rather than real game, and yes the main goal was to make something working in Haskell.
Sorry for camera problems (it was thought as a good idea while coding), and overall incompleteness. Working without artists is hard :) We are two programmers, but one of us can make some models in 3dmax.
Shooting works as a one-element queue: click sets a position in a queue so shoot will be performed as soon as cooldown allows. That way you can shoot at maximum speed, and you don't need to click too fast.
The main idea is probably not very clear for most people, it's actually a hard-to-explain local meme of Russian competing game-streaming sites sc2tv.ru and goodgame.ru. "Peka" or "comfy" is associated with sc2tv.ru and beaver is associated with goodgame.ru. Nevermind :)

Thanks again!
Interesting mechanic. The bars at the top don't seem to do anything, so it's hard to measure progress. Is that a bug?
Interesting game! I was surprised by the sudden camera shift, but I enjoyed squashing the yellow balls with my beavers.
I like the basic concept, it is very simple but I see a lot of things that could be done with it. Visually the game communicates very clearly and the camera controls are a nice bonus.
What I really missed was any kind of sound though :)
