The link for Windows was broken, but I figured out how to get to the game. If you just click the link it gives you a DNS error. You have to use the http://allwoodgamedev.itch.io/harold-the-overly-destructive-flying-monster link.

I really did not like how the game had an installer. I don't want to have to install the game to my computer to play it.

Also the game seemed very hard to me. I flew around but I kept dying very fast and I couldn't really kill much. I feel like this could be a better game, but it needs more health and for better controls (It was hard to fly up and launch bombs at the same time.).

For those who don't want to install, you can always just extract the contents using something like 7-zip.

Anyways, game seemed solid, but the hyper restrictive view and the amount of health the enemies had meant I kept dying rapidly.

Hey there, I thought that this game was pretty good. Controls were a little spotty but nothing that ruined the experience for me. Overall 4/5.

The graphics were sweet! The teleporting mechanic was interesting, though I rarely used it because I could n-jump. The controls were kind of confusing. For example, I frequently pressed space to jump, or clicked instead of q.

The amount of options was a bit overwhelming, but it was fun once I got the hang of it. Nice work!

4/5 LD33 Helicopter killed me all the time :D

I loved the particle effects! I loved how well you channeled the classic monster terrorizing the city tropes. Great job!

Cool game. Not much to say about it.

The installer was a bit annoying, you can export gamemaker games to a single .exe if you poke through the options a little.
That said, it was a fun little game. The art was really tight. The screen dimensions were a little weird, but they made the game work so I don't mind at all.

When you die, sound goes very glitchy.
Not bad, but at first hard to understand what's going on.

occamsrazor 2015-08-24 06:01

Very fun! The controls were a little finicky, it felt like too much to coordinate, but its something you can kind of get the hang of. Overall, I enjoyed it!

cool

Hate that you have to install the game. The screen is very small. Hard to control.

daanvanyperen 2015-08-24 09:49

You'd probably get more ratings with an installerless version. Hard to control! Like the heli art.

Reminds me of a game I played when I was a child.

mattress 2015-08-24 15:48

You probably remember me from Uheartbeast's stream. It was fun then, and it's still fun! Especially since you took the controls advice from me, its a lot better this way.

allwoodgamedev 2015-08-24 19:10

@demy The sound does not go glitchy unless that is a problem on your end. That is probably just the helicopter sound.

allwoodgamedev 2015-08-24 19:13

@cosine I had actually tried click to shoot controls but i was having strange issues with that.

charliecarlo 2015-08-25 16:13

Very simple and arcadey, I like it!

This certainly has a lot of controls to juggle, though, and I struggled playing it with a trackpad.

treeman 2015-08-26 10:02

Nice simple game, I liked it! I found it quite difficult though.

drauthius 2015-09-03 17:04

Nice idea. The screen was way too small (hard to see or do things), and the controls overly complex (why Q to shoot and not left mouse button?). Having to read a whole block of text outside of the game (story, instructions and controls) is really a pet peeve of mine. :( Would have been nice if it were part of the game (intro screen or a mini-tutorial or something).
