Worked fine for me, awesome that you had your kids get involved, let them know they did a great job :)

Neat game. Didn't really know what to do at first. Plus you have a couple screens (Options and stats) that don't have anything there?

phocker 2015-12-15 05:39

Logicon> wanted to add stats and options - should have removed them - thanks for playing

Good stuff! Always nice to see a family effort :)

todnut 2015-12-15 16:04

Bonus points for the awesome work from your kids. That rocks!

Hey, another member of team made-a-game-with-my-kids. High five!

This was great. The first level was easy enough to forgive me taking a couple of minutes to figure out the mechanics and goals, which I appreciate. Mechanics reminded me of the old blockade/snake games, with an original twist. After a couple of levels, I found myself increasingly irritated with the robot frost eagle's tendency to aim for all the obstacles. CAN YOU JUST STOP KILLING YOURSELF FOR 3 SECONDS WHILE I GO COLLECT A GEM?

Thanks for the game :)

dlowe> high fives man - lets just say that the levels were not thoroughly tested or balanced :)

So many bodies to eat...

shrapx 2015-12-17 01:15

this is a game that can get quite frantic, i loved the music and the idea, i felt quite an urge to protect protect the eagle after i figured out my duty was to break the rocks and things in the path. i like that you made it with your kids :3 they did a good job and so did you.

travischen 2015-12-17 02:11

Always love seeing Father/Mother, Son/Daughter projects. Nice work guys!

clavus 2015-12-17 02:34

That was pretty fun. Would be nice if you somehow got a hint on where the eagle was headed and what he might end up hitting, it was hard to keep up!

team-buttface 2015-12-17 14:26

An interesting and fun little game with a retro feeling. I enjoyed my time with it.

xanjos 2015-12-17 15:28

I was so busy making the worm grow I forgot I also had to protect the eagle as well :'). Anyway I like the concept a lot and I love how you had your kid do the sprites as well.

xanjos 2015-12-17 15:29

^kids

ludic 2015-12-18 06:04

Good game, a like the concept

jpdev 2015-12-18 06:13

First I though ugh.. too easy, I don't even die if I run into walls. But then I noticed it's an escort mission :)

Also a nice idea to include the kids in making games!

weeping-rupee 2015-12-19 04:03

Nice work! I like the paper cut out look of the eagle.

jamesmowery 2015-12-19 04:56

I like the game. It wasn't clearly evident from the first play through as to what I was supposed to be doing, but I enjoyed doing whatever it was that I was doing, if that makes any sense!

galvesmash 2015-12-19 14:30

So cute to see that you made with your family! I never saw anything like this in a jam.
The game is really nice and fun, you and your kids sure had a lot of fun making this game.
Nice job, guys!

jakob37 2015-12-19 20:02

Nice to make a game with your family :) I liked it, the controls of running the snake felt very suitable for running a big snake. Was a bit unsure about what the purpose of the game was while playing, I thought I was battling the bird. Could be interesting with some clear threat.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. Good job to all of you :)

oberynmartell 2015-12-20 03:31

Nice concept (took me some time to understand it all though).
Well done overall!

jdoughty 2015-12-20 03:50

I'm glad to see more of family teams, its awesome to see you involving them in your passion!

andybrown 2015-12-20 08:13

Nice twist on the snake mechanics. I could see that gameplay being expanded with having to block attacks with your long snake body by circling the robot frost eagle for example. Loved the art!

rjhelms 2015-12-21 05:07

Really cool idea - love that you had your kids involved, too.

Definitely could use some better level balance, but there's a lot of good stuff in here.

mitya1234 2015-12-21 07:57

The music is very nice.

loxo 2015-12-21 13:58

Interesting game concept, good graphics and audio. The is fun to play, addictive and fits the themes very well. I encountered some gems outside the level, I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be.

publicidadeba 2015-12-23 04:00

I loved taking the big eagle to the baby eagles! Great Innovation skills there 5/5 on this category :)

adsilcott 2015-12-23 17:28

I love that your kids helped you with this! A unique and fun take on the snake genre. A little tighter turning radius would have been nice. Great job!

scorched 2015-12-24 17:00

Not bad, but WHY does space key restart the game?!
Also it seemed to me that the eagle destroyed the items, and he was my enemy :D

crucknuk 2015-12-26 10:43

Nice entry! I is a nice twist on the snake game! With more balencing and additionnal levels, it could be an interesting game for a post LD! Just to let you know, I had a huge glitch in the last level: the bird went back to the starting position every time he reached half the level. I let the game running like this for 5mn and without reason, I finished the game despite the bird not being with his childs. Anyway, I had a great time, good job ;)

xenosns 2015-12-27 14:47

very interesting game. Felt like an old NES game I'd played but can't recall which.

blackbulletiv 2015-12-28 05:44

Pretty cool concept and decent graphics. Nice job.

randomhuman 2016-01-02 15:07

Mmm, tasty humans. Fun game, but a touch frustrating with the big wide turns when there are so many things that need to be done.

brightstar 2016-01-03 04:42

Neat game. Enjoyed it.

haokarlos 2016-01-04 15:22

Interesting game, really nice your kids graphics. Good job guys!

anachron 2016-01-04 20:09

Robot Frost Eagle come back! Awesome game

jupiter_hadley 2016-01-17 18:34

Neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/xIPr3jDQjJ0
