Wow, that's a weird game, very interesting! Played it quite a few times, intrigued to figure out the rules. Never quite did though. Sometimes humans get infected without being hit by anything, sometimes they don't get infected when you expect them to. I also didn't understand when I would run out of humans.
Cool mechanics, art, and music. Very strange but well-done game.
This can only be described as weird. Weird with good graphics.
Strange game. But I loved the graphics and the physical engine.
I loved your game ! Once I had taken the controls in hand I enjoyed myself a lot throwing away my little ragdoll humans ! I think it would be a great mobile game, something about offloading violence I guess :) The art and music are both beautiful and in general your game feels really polished and clean. You did a great job during those three days, congratulations ! I just rated it !
I like this game. I have to kill the bird with the people :D It's an awesome game :D
There truly is no salvation for these people!
I'm completely in the dark when it comes to the meaning of all this. Most bizarre entry I've seen so far, no doubt about that.
Got to 1803 in the end. Getting a 2-3 bird combo and then impaling the poor sod onto the tree of woes did the trick. The South Park :cow: did nothing of use. What a valueless :cow: that!
It does what it sets out to do. No bugs, not problems....If only I had the faintest idea on what the actual is going on down here. Good work?!
Ah, press the help button in the top corner... that helps! :grin:
Overall, I thought this was a weird game, but lots of fun to play. The music adds to the mood. Took me a while to understand what's going on, but I guess that is part of the charm!
The game didn't work for me on firefox fullscreen. I switched to Chrome and it worked.
Very bizarre game, weirdly fun. Still in the end I couldn't truly understand what the "goal" of the game is. Is it to get high score by doing more achievements or is it high score by surviving longer? My human seems to get infected no matter what, so I couldn't really find a way to prolong their life.
Strange, not in a bad way though. I really enjoy the art particularly the color pallet. I like impaling the guys on the trees and flinging them around. Cool entry.
Best entry so far :bird:
Funny yet crazy game. I liked how to body moved. But why is the human getting violet.
Nice graphics. It isn't really clear what to do to get the best score, but the ragdoll mechanics are pretty fun.
Nice game! At least it seems to me now, that I´ve seen everything :D Beautiful colors and explosion decision. I never thought that would say that about plague, but it was a pleasure for eyes to see such design and graphics :D Well done!
Sweet game, any game with rag doll physics in it will most defiantly get a chuckle from me, slightly disappointed I couldn't get a guy to ride a top the cow, but that's okay. Great game, Very good Graphics, Nice work.
Beautiful and funny but I didn't manage to survive more than a few seconds. So many ennemies so quickly. Most of my humans don't even touch the ground and are already dead and many times it is impossible (=too difficult for me) to dodge a rat because there are birds all around (at least 5 ennemies in the same time). I find it too punishing to be fun.
I wish there was a weird voting category, but I'm substituting mood for that. First try I didn't even get what I was doing. After that I think I figured out the main thing was keeping people flying but not too high. The graphics was really great, music was nice and controls worked alright with mouse (I'm guessing the feeling on a pad or similar makes much more sense). In general a very well made game. I think perhaps it could have been made a bit more clear what made for new humans to play with / how many were still left. I'm still not really sure how the game worked really. Not that it mattered too much. The total experience was still very positive. I would have liked to get to play longer. Maybe spawn humans a bit depending on the need for new play-things. At least in the beginning. Some sort of progression or build-up would also have been really nice. Especially if that happened in tune to the music.
I still have no idea how the game decides if I get more humans to play with. I found a few strategies for keeping the game going, but it's quite difficult to do anything deliberately. Looks nice and I'm sure you had fun with the sound :) Biggest improvement I think would be some sort of UI to inform you about whether more humans will be arriving..
