It's a decent start, but you should probably have given the sling a maximum length or something to prevent the player from just spinning the egg fast enough to hit the chicken without releasing it.

First time I didn't understand, because I didn't read the instructions. :) But I think this is very simple and good game. Nice job :)

Pretty simple, kind of like the game better when I wasn't attempting to throw the egg. I liked that the camera followed the egg when you threw it up into the sky really high!

Strangely, despite the controls feeling responsive, I felt that the egg simply spun too fast. It would have been nice to see the egg have a maximum velocity so that it would not go out of control.

Super simple game, but for some reason super addictive! I was playing LD games at my friends house and this was the only game he voluntarily joined in. We played plenty of rounds against each other but I finally perfected my technique and he had no more chance against my epic Sling Fling moves :P

His final high score: 745
My final high score: 2680

Awesome game! Proves that physics can make a super simple game concept quite challenging. The graphics are very good, I like the very subtle parallax effect.

Sometimes I lost the egg if my mouse went out of the game window, which is too bad. Also sometimes I hit the head of the chicken, but it didn't register.
