Nice story and some good finnish memes, but didänt see hau dis fits in to the theme.

I liked how the game worked, even if it isn't obvious that you pick up improved weapons.

The music and intro worked very well, but the rest of the game didn't seem to match the mood. The enemies were rather easy (until you got to birds), and it was also too easy to get to a point with the moose battle where he constantly was able to hurt you with reckless abandon. (just stay at the bottom)

It wasn't too easy to shoot as you only get to shoot where you're facing, so you had to move towards the enemy to shoot them, and most of them are faster than you are. That means you can't hide or avoid the enemies, you can only use the map to your advantage, as they wont go around trees. Even that wouldn't work with birds, however.

Overall it was pretty fun, though I'm not sure how much replay value there is. Once i got to birds, and nothing seeming to work with them killing me, I stopped playing. Good idea, its just too easy to die i think.

Really nice game, the music/sounds are awesome. For the graphics I had mixed feelings, I liked the environment but I didn't like the player spirte as some of the enemy sprites. I had so much trouble defeating the moose, luckily for me the bear got stuck so that was a really easy boss for me. The story was really nice and contained good humor. I did miss the theme a bit in this game. Other than that I really loved this game, in some categories this is my highest rated game this LD so far, good job!

Neat game! I like the music and sound effects (I got a laugh out of the voice acting). Overall I enjoyed this game, but probably the biggest issue I had was aiming the weapon. Especially with the owls, I was never able to shoot them because they were coming at the wrong angle for me to be able to turn around and shoot them. This was the biggest pitfall of the game; otherwise, I enjoyed it!

The title screen is very pretty, and you did well to add in so many levels and enemies. Unfortunately, this seems to have resulted in the bosses being slightly shonky. Against the moose, I just traded shots until he died, while the only thing I could do against the bear was get him caught behind the tree. You've got a solid foundation here, but I think a bit more polish to the combat controls would be helpful

very old school feeling game but in a good way like the transitions between the different areas. only the movement feels a bit odd what makes it hard to be in the same "lane" like the enemy
