Very cool :D

Nothing out of the ordinary but still was fun playing. I liked the comedy aspect. Well Done and I hope you will do this again. :D

Wow, this was certainly something.

I really liked the doodle-ish art style and sheer ridiculousness of the situation the game puts you in. But what I REALLY liked was the music.

Unfortunately, the musician's name in the credits is the only one that doesn't link :(

Overall good job. As with most rampage-ish games, it gets pretty hard to see things when things get hectic, but I never died (got close) and it wasn't all that bad.

I also really liked the little Kiwi egg thing, it really set it apart from what other Kiwi-based and Kaiju-sized games tend to do. That being said, the only other game I know in the genre is Kiwi 64, and that one was shooting for a bit of a different spin.

Good job!

It's an ok concept, but I did enjoy running over everything hah! Who doesn't like pooping on things?

liannethy 2015-08-25 05:25

I wish NZ's defence force was this good

Best game I've played so far. I feel like you guys had a lot of fun making this, and it shows. Great work all around.

aflatminerstudios 2015-08-25 06:30

Nice!

I think i've mastered the art of the "Australian Tank-Throwing Reverse Poop Shot".

Taking what the internet says about the land down under, such specimen might be roaming the outbacks somewhere.

Really fun! It takes a while to get challenging and sometimes it's really hard to differentiate foreground from background, but I really like it!

crucknuk 2015-08-25 23:06

I knew australian are driving on the ride side.Didn't know they're also driving on roofs! :p Nice job

mattthehoopy 2015-08-25 23:09

Heh. I like the logic behind taking the least monstrous creature possible, and sending it on a rampage xD

corupta 2015-08-25 23:13

Very good game and cool idea. Sounds and graphics are pretty fancy. Loved the controls, and shooting all those tanks around.

genericteamname 2015-08-25 23:51

Great feel with the controls. I feel I would've liked the wall jump to go a bit higher though.

hammerfrenzy 2015-08-26 00:57

That run cycle is hilarious

robothobodanceparty 2015-08-26 01:22

I am a New Zealander. I laughed, I cried and I had an amazing time. Funniest and the most fun game I have played so far. Beautiful, just beautiful! :D

cloudeyes 2015-08-26 17:37

good game but too much happening on the screen

colindoody 2015-08-26 18:44

Funny! Played pretty smoothly. Graphics could use some work. Audio was decent.

jannesn 2015-08-26 19:19

I have played almost 100 games so far and this got the most stars so far. The 3 of you did a really great job!

tibyte 2015-08-26 20:35

I really enjoyed this game. Nothing to say here just: This game is awesome and now I want to have a Kiwi ;)

galanm 2015-08-26 22:27

I enjoy this one more than I should have. The controls were a bit weird, but once I got used to them they were stupid fun.

meta-link 2015-08-26 23:10

GOTY. Nice concept, good gameplay, funny arts and music, good job !

paulopn 2015-08-26 23:27

That was awesome! Great idea, smooth controls, great attention to detail! This is my favorite game so far!

aun 2015-08-26 23:32

Very nice game, with a lot a rhythm.

ithildin 2015-08-27 23:25

Luckily I live far from New Zealand, I wouldn't like to experience the attack of a massive kiwi :D

Really cool game, I digged the humour and the graphics. Congrats!

nowandstudios 2015-08-28 07:03

The background are nice. Play as a kiwi is so original.

peterthehe 2015-08-28 10:55

Really nice art. Incredibly fun!

flygamer101 2015-08-28 12:19

Very nice with great graphics too.

adsilcott 2015-08-28 21:54

The game was incredibly fun and funny. A destructive Kiwi is pure genius.

lacaranian 2015-08-28 22:57

Pretty good! The skill needed to win the final boss battle wasn't necessary to learn until then, but besides that, good difficulty curve.

joeprogram 2015-08-29 04:33

Really fun - lots of cool powerups and options. Having building climbing be so easy felt great. I didn't understand right away that having baby kiwi meant I could sent them to jump attack.

toloagames 2015-08-29 15:23

out of the 70 or so games if have played and rated this is the most fun! I also really like the humor!

ryusui 2015-08-29 17:42

I've never had this much fun stomping through a major metropolis as a flightless bird before. XD

Biruts 2015-08-30 00:53

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

roaringcatgames 2015-08-30 20:31

Sorry, I poo'ed all over the place. heh.

Fun and very destructive.

Loved it

emmelineprufrock 2015-09-01 02:52

A lot of fun, great graphics and an interesting take on the theme.

onlyslightly 2015-09-01 02:58

Everything felt right. It was so satisfying causing so much damage to the MS paint style city. The aesthetic was beautiful and consistent. As the game went on I kept on discovering new mechanics that filled me with glee. Discovering you can great mini kiwis was great, and then I realized you can launch them at helicopters. Being able to pierce the helicopters and shoot them at other helicopters was awesome. Great game!

ghostlyguru 2015-09-01 22:22

Fun & interesting game. I enjoyed the art and the gameplay. pooping is always fun

brightstar 2015-09-02 05:55

Great graphics and sound. Silly fun.

bombjack 2015-09-10 10:42

ahahah... fun!

superfreak 2015-09-11 11:27

As a NZlander I appreciated this game oh so very, very much. 5 stars.

jupiter_hadley 2015-09-11 22:18

Found this game funny and awesome. I included it in part 24 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/fxtKngYPsCg
