Awesome game! The only thing I would note is that the camera zoomed in the swarm so far that it made playing difficult in a few situations.

Thanks for the comments. Pretty much all of the things you all are mentioning is stuff I wish I would have had time to do.
The reason for using the mouse was because I tried to make it work with iPad as well. I really should have made it work with keyboard for desktop players.
Thanks for rating and commenting!
Awesome! Would love to see you finish it.
Nicely done. Having an easy way to know what is edible by each fish would be cool.
I really enjoyed this. I only wish the ending would have given some sort of feedback as to what happened, or would have frozen the screen so I could inspect my results.
Seems really cool. I got stuck doing powerups though.
Fun game! I ran off the right side of the screen and couldn't seem to get back and had to refresh the page at one point, some sort of boundary would have been good to have. I hope you'll update this one!
Good work! Fun and playable. I was a little confused by the starting viewpoint, I didn't realize where my villian was for a bit.
Love the card battle thing. I had a lot of trouble winning even easy fights, but kept at it until the Investigation level finally got me
Thanks! Would have loved time for sound, I literally finished the money collection mechanism at 8:50pm EST!
The engine is the Github link. I've been working on an open source engine built on Cocos2d for a while. I really like CC2D, and have one release on iPad called Samurai Duel that's moderately successful. I need to get familiar with Cocos builder too.
Nice idea and fun music! I agree with the other folks who said you might want to experiement with other input methods, my mouse was hard to use for this.
Nice job! I didn't feel like a villain playing, but had fun experimenting with placing structures!
Awesome game!
Great concept, I really like the track and field thing. Are you able to win the game? I couldn't seem to ever get ahead.
Cool graphics and great sounds!
Could not figure out how to get past the first level in 5 tries.
Didn't quite get the link to the theme either.
couldn't play web version. Didn't rate. Let me know if I'm missing something, cause I really want to play this!
Couldn't play either. Mac Chrome.
Good job, like the concept!
Nicely done! Did you use any other tools like Cocos Builder for this?
Fun game. I wish I could have smashed the cops and army!
Web link is not working for me. Let me know if you get it fixed, I'd like to play!
Awesome music!
Cool game. Would love to see this with different levels and upgrades!
The game was awesome, until I couldn't get past the second level. I played for around 10 minutes and never scored a hit after the first level.
Wow, really well done!
Quite fun on the iPhone
Very fun!!
The game crashed a few times right after I got the first two hipsters and stepped out the door.
Thanks for the feedback! The colors looked fine on the monitor I designed on, but I played on another machine this morning and noticed what you all are talking about with the palette. I plan on making this a full game, so I'll definitely be redoing colors first thing!
Nice job. I like the way it works, just wish it ramped up a bit after you have some success.
Nice game! I didn't pick up on the health bar the first time around, but otherwise, easy to jump into and fun to play!
If you choose to keep developing this game, I would love to see some motivation for the player to jump regularly and bonuses for pulling off hard jumps. I found myself trying to jump between tight spaces just for the challenge!
Very nicely done! I like the way the game played out. I think this has a lot of potential to develop further with more levels and plot.
Overall, very good game for dev time. The controls are too touchy, would have been helpful to have them be a little slower or something.
Fun game! I personally prefer keyboard controls for this sort of thing, I'm always getting out of control with the mouse. I hope you'll continue developing this one, it definitely has potential!
Nice work! Hope you'll enter again next time.
Very fun!
Couldn't get it to work. Got to the menu screen, but clicking PLAY produced no results.
Mac OSX 10.7.5 Chrome browser
Let me know if you get it working or if I'm missing something so I can play!
Wow, impressive!
Very cool game!
