Nice and simple. The graphics are nice!
Maybe you could have used the throwing mechanic for some more interesting purposes though.
Overall, pretty nice!

very unique take on how you attack the enemy.

kcaze 2015-08-24 04:43

The Mac OS X version works, at least on Yosemite :)

I liked the graphics. The game felt like it had a lot of polish to it! I got trapped for a bit and didn't really know what my objective was though. Maybe adding a score of some sort would have helped?

Thanks for including a linux build (many people tend to forget that).

kirilllosev 2015-08-24 05:02

Ekibyou, Jamie Guillemette thanks for kind words. kcaze, you too! And you, ViliX64! Also, thanks for testing linux and mac versions :)

The visual clutter is this games biggest weakness. It can be hard to tell what is going on at times.

It is a shame because it is an otherwise solid game.

kirilllosev 2015-08-24 11:38

martijn, thanks for a interesting comment!

Cool arts, cool sounds, cool gameplay, cool game !

kirilllosev 2015-08-24 12:04

Yamzho, thanks )

jaywoody 2015-08-24 12:24

The core mechanics are nice.

All in all a nice little game! Kudos!

kirilllosev 2015-08-24 12:27

JayWoody, hooray! Thanks )

I think I broke the game... I turned into a super small pixel monster thing.
Maybe I got parented to an object that was scaled down?
Enemies can't hit me... I feel a highscore comming up xD

kirilllosev 2015-08-24 12:47

SojaBird, i should fix that! thanks for feedback

demy 2015-08-24 12:59

For some reason the main character became invisible and didn't appear back; I could keep playing but just didn't see him.
And the main objective wasn't quite obvious.
Anyway the game is nice.

kirilllosev 2015-08-24 13:01

Demy, SojaBird was right. The game changes the scale of the monster for some reason when he got parented. Trying to fix that. But the game is still playable and you can scale it back to normal by jumping on something and throwing it.

kirilllosev 2015-08-24 13:02

Demy, anyway thanks for you comment :)

This is a nice intelligent game imo! I liked the graphics quite much, and the controls are original and may allow some nice moves.
However (because there is always a "however" :) ), it starts with way too much enemies I think. I needed 3 games to begin to understand a bit more precisely the controls, and even in the end I didn't always do what I wanted. It goes too quickly, I feel like I need to move all the time, but I can't control my jumps precisely enough. Maybe pausing the game while we are choosing the trajectory?
(Now that I think about it, maybe that's why you start on the buildings... But I didn't get immediately that I could "stick" to helicopters.)
A very nice game, interesting, but it could use some tutos or something like that.

kirilllosev 2015-08-24 13:32

Grhyll, wow. thanks for this feedback. well said and explained!

maesk 2015-08-24 19:36

Nice entry! I like the mechanic of sticking to enemies and launching them. By the way, nice explosions :P

xwarzonex 2015-08-24 22:18

Really nice game, I enjoyed playing it. I wasn't quite sure what the point of the game is or how you win.

riftpoint 2015-08-24 22:20

Very Addictive

big-cow 2015-08-24 22:25

I really liked this game its strangely addictive and I love the noise the little people make when you squish them. I wish I could kill those tanks!

gamepopper 2015-08-24 23:20

Neat simple game! Really creative method of attacking and jumping!

archbang 2015-08-25 20:55

Indeed a very polished game with a neat core mechanic. Most complete out of the half dozen I have tried so far. Have to respect taking an idea for a jam and polishing it well - I find it quite challenging myself! Throwing helicopters out of the sky is fun. Would have been nice to have more buildings or vertical levels to play with.

philstrahl 2015-08-25 21:14

Very innovative and highly polished game, impressive for the short development time! Had fun playing it but couldn't make it past the 1-minute mark haha. Very well done, mechanics are simple yet engaging and the art design is very appealing. Great job!

marudziik 2015-08-25 22:33

The innovative type of control is definitely the strongest part of the game, although I also liked all the other stuff. Generally controls could also use a tweak or two, because it was hard to deal with enemies after getting on the ground, but it wasn't a very serious problem, it just made the game a bit harder. Anyways, it's a good entry!

kirilllosev 2015-08-25 22:44

thank you all <3 i'm glad you enjoyed my game

guoboism 2015-08-26 08:24

Nice game. The tanks, choppers and cars are lovely done.

boskosokolov 2015-08-26 12:36

Great idea nice audio and graphics good job :D

pirate_shell 2015-08-26 16:45

The main mechanic is simple yet works very well. The idea of smashing things around is very fun. The audio-visual presentation is also good although simplistic. The monster was not the most original design but the gameplay was the main focus. I feel a game that was a little more leniant would have been more fun. But overall, great entry!

qkerguelen 2015-08-26 17:24

Simple, fun and beautiful. Nice one! :)

eddy93 2015-08-27 14:06

GREAT ART STYLE! GREAT GAME! oops caps on...
