The turtle isnt fast enough to save the babies :CC NOT FAIR, THE POOR BABIES

Had trouble protecting the babies. Was fun though, graphics were very pleasing.

Hey, great job on the aesthetics. Very clean and well thought out. I like the main menu as well, looks really polished. The gameplay itself was self explanatory, but it was really hard to fight against the ever growing amount of seagulls. The controls of the turtle could use some work. Going backwawrds would've been nice to adjust positioning more easily without having to turn 360°.

Balancing was an issue as well. I guess the amount of gulls just increases overtime to an unbeatable amount? :) Some music would've been nice as well to reinforce the mood. Sound effects were good though!

@franciszeknowotniak Thanks for your comment! I read somewhere that 1 in a 100 survives, so I was trying to simulate that. But yes, it's pretty sad.

@systematic Thanks a lot!! I'm very happy to read that!

@duke Hey, thanks for your nice words!! Yes, the amount of gulls increases until it's impossible to keep playing. That was my initial idea, see how many can be saved. During the weekend I came out with other mechanics (as power-ups), but you know.. it has to be finished at some point! In fact, I was planning to compose some music, but Monday came and time was running out... so, let's see if I keep working on this game further on.

Again, thanks for your suggestions.. they are really helpful and encouraging!

Turtles! I love turtles. Nice interpretation of the theme. I like the looks and the beachsounds. Of course the turtle is really slow and it was very hard to protect my children, that was a bit sad. I often wished to be able to run backwards, this way i would have been able to save more. Still, nice entry :)

Nice clean graphics. Felt that the turtle was too slow, but I guess that's the reality! Also everyone likes turtles...

I really like the game's minimalistic style. Its a hard game partly because the turtle is a bit slow.

What a shame I wasn´t able to save all of them, which is bit frustrating since there is so much happening... bad seagulls! :) Overall nice entry. Good job!

Beautiful small game! I wish I could have seen the birds from further away. Thanks!

Graphics and audio are nice, but the movement is too slow, I only managed to save two or three babies.
